I've seen several people on these forums claiming it's difficult to get enough energy to buy cards, but I've never seen that in my games. I usually buy several cards over the course of a game.
I'll give you a counter opinion that I think the game (as the standard rules would have you play it) punishes anybody who tries to collect cubes. You have to sacrifice too much in precious victory points, health, or attacks that energy is just not worth it. After only a few games, nobody was keeping energy results in my groups.
Those who did focus on energy cubes, never won because they either died or somebody got the VP win. If they did get a nice card, it was usually so late in the game that it made very little difference anyway.
After playing with the variant I recommend above, I find the base rules rather boring.
