The Imperator deck had a limited impact to the game. Some Boons (e.g. Major and Minor Boon) were played, also frequently vote cards were used as 1 vote during political actions, but most the time (especially early in the game) cards were discarded that seemed too useful for another player. The card most played during the tournament was probably Second Tradition: Domain vs. Mirror Walk as close second.
