I've largely avoided wiping in Card Hunter by the skin of my teeth (had the warrior fall in the wizard's golem cleanup, managed to scrape by with tactics), and I've done this by using the mechanics to force the enemies to screw up due to their limited AI and their specific movesets limiting the types of threats they can use, which creates wiggle room for your guys...pretty important when you are almost always outnumbered/undergeared. The card based gameplay can just as easily screw them over as it does to you.
