    Why do I always lose?

    I'm more than his card. But I fail time and time again. I was too poor.

    Try looking around the forums, especially in the strategy section. There are a number of articles that can help you improve your game. If you'd like, you can post your deck here and we can help you out.

    If you meant something like "I've got better cards but I lose", then the answer should be quite obvious – you lack skill. If you seek advice, you should say something more about your deck, playstyle, what your losses have been and so on, so the better players can help you.

    Hi Andy, it's a bit of nightmare if despite your best efforts you keep getting beat...

    My advice apart from the previous comment about checking the strategy threads is to try copying some of the decks that beat you? Makes sense don't you think? Like anything you get better by learning from experience, skill is developed from trial an error, copying and xperimenting.

    Happy to help if you want to pm me.

    Good hunting and keep going

    I've come off the back of 15 game losing streaks and it's infuriating. There has been screaming, fist smashing, all sorts of things

    But then..... you have a good run, 9 or 10 wins in a row.

    Then it's cheering, and fist pumping!

    Keep going, keep practising.

    Honestly, I've always been of the opinion that losing helps my game more, as it forces me to adapt. Winning has me set in my ways, and when I come up against a better opponent or a unique deck, I can't deal with it.

    So the moral is, keep going, don't give up.

    And as Larken says, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

    EDIT: My God what a ramble.

    this is not necessarily true. When i was a beginner with amber, i thought the better the cards the more i win. I had all the best allies. But the answer is, if he does have all the better cards, his deck is likely large or the main reason... Resource cost. All the best cards are about 5cc . If he made my mistake and put all high cost powerful allies then that is the area he nipeeds to work on. Overcome this by adding a variety of cc so some 2cc or 3cc and lessen the cards in your deck.

    Come on andy dont give up, sometimes as Preybird said, we have good streaks and bad streaks, it happens all the time, because we have things to learn, and we have to pass through this stages to improve your skills thanks to the experience you get each time you win or lose a game just don't frustrate, keep calm, try to learn from each game and visit the forums to learn some tips that will help you, in strategy section you will find many of them. Good luck!
