Any good combinations for expansions?
So, in Ascension, all the expansions go inside the same deck, meaning that if you use all of them at the same time, the deck becomes way too diluted, and doesn't work properly. I assume it's a similar case for this game? That's just me guessing, anyway!

Is there any good combinations for expansions? Or can I just use all of them at the same time without any issues?

You can play with them all without any real issues, the expansions doesn't really have any special combos built into them. The power level differs a bit with the original starter and first expansions having a noticeable higher power level than the later stuff. They learned over the years what a reasonable power level should be.

The only real thing I can think of is Events, the more cards you have in the deck the less chance of an event coming up, but events are very high variance cards in the first place so reducing their frequency might not be a bad thing.

Thanks for the info! Very helpful.

Sure if you had every expansion in one deck you would have the exact same situation. I like to keep all my expansions separate from whichever base deck I want to play (I prefer the OG deck or Frontiers) and then I go back and forth with my opponent with what expansions we want to include. The expansions can drastically change your normal winning strategies especially when using dual color cards, commander decks, or my least favorite, events. Events can take some monotony and make it a little interesting, but I felt like winning became more of a game of chance instead of skill as some events can be pretty punishing depending on when they are revealed.
