Once you've played the game 3 or 4 times, you get to know the cards really well, and the Search feature becomes your friend. I highly recommend this as well, it's one of my favorite deckbuilders out there. It's also the only one that I've deemed worthy of purchasing a playmat for. Which could totally have nothing at all to do with the awesome print on it :whistle:

It's actually been awhile since we tried to play, so I don't remember exactly what our problems were, but I seem to recall wars being slow and frustrating.
STDBG is certainly more chaotic than Dominion, and that's not typically something I'm a big fan of, though I'm up for it sometimes. Dominion's approach makes for a very very different game, because knowing what cards are available (and going to be available) makes it possible to plan and follow a strategy throughout the game with certain card interactions in mind. It's like a puzzle every time you play, and you have to come up with a more elegant solution than your opponents. I love that about it, and I don't think there's any danger at all of STDBG replacing Dominion in my heart, but I'm hoping I can grow to enjoy STDBG as a fun change of pace. Certainly the Star Trek licence doesn't hurt.
