When building your deck choose only cards that you definitely will use if given the opportunity. I used to build my deck by saying: this card could theoretically be useful, what the heck I’ll put it in, but that clutters your deck and thus your hand with cards that are theoretically useful but may be unhelpful in your current situation. It always works better to use only cards you know you’ll want to use whether you have to cash some of them or not.

Resources are often a hindrance more than a help. Usually you gather resources in the first age, instead of building buildings such as the alter or the apothecary. If you build buildings in the first age instead of building resources, than you can build almost as much for free in the later ages using prerequisites.
