Online:Duke of Crows (Patron)

This article is about the Tales of Tribute Patron and Deck. For the crow it is named after, see Duke of Crows.

"The Duke of Crows, the proudest of the flock, presides over the rest. Woe betide any who get between these ravens and their shinies."
—Ulysa Rervam, Proctor of Daedric Studies

The Duke of Crows is a Tales of Tribute Patron and Deck themed after the Blackfeather Court. The deck consists of 1 starter card, 8 standard cards (20 total), and 4 upgrades.

This Patron is available by default.

Gameplay

The main gimmick of this deck is effects that draw more cards. While a few have combo effects that give Coin and Power, the majority involve drawing cards, with cards like Plunder having the potential to draw 3 in a single turn.

The patron themself allows you to gain Power by spending leftover Coin. Avoid using this effect early as it will be unusable if you are already favored, while giving your opponent the opportunity to use it twice. However, in late game, the effect can be very powerful if you already have all the cards you want and want to gain a huge lead over your opponent. Additionally, if your opponent makes the mistake of using it early, you can simply ignore that patron for the rest of the match to prevent them from using it again.
