Intrigue also increased the strategic and tactical depth of Dominion beyond what the base set offered by introducing more cards that benefit from advanced play: for example, {{Card|Wishing Well}} rewards careful deck-tracking in a way no card in the base set does; {{Card|Swindler}} requires paying close attention to an opponent's strategy to know what cards will disrupt it; and {{Card|Coppersmith}} and {{Card|Conspirator}} require decks specifically tailored to their strengths to be useful.

The first-edition of Intrigue developed a somewhat unfounded reputation as a highly attack-heavy expansion: in actuality, Intrigue contained fewer [[Attack]] cards than the base set and fewer than the next expansion, [[Seaside]]. This reputation arose in part from the fact that the Attack cards Intrigue ''did'' have had a reputation as particularly annoying attacks to get hit by (even the relatively weak {{Card|Saboteur}}, which is unpleasant out of proportion to how effective it is), and in part because it had some non-Attack cards ({{Card|Masquerade}} and {{Card|Tribute}}) that affect players in ways that occasionally make them feel like they're being attacked. The second edition has removed both {{Card|Saboteur}} and {{Card|Tribute}}, and has a slightly modified {{Card|Masquerade}} which has been [[Masquerade#First_edition|revised]] to avoid the most [[Masquerade#The_Pin|punishing use]] from the first edition version.
