I've played 100's of Ascension games and at least 1/3 of those games there comes a point where I'm board locked by one or the other resource and must spend my next few turns buying mystics and militia or just killing cultist. A two resource system may allow for a greater variance of total choices but the problem is once you start down a path your ability to select all choices become more limited than the one resource system. For example in two resource I either pick A, B or a limited A&B to focus my build around. In a one resource game you don't have to worry about that you get to choose from all the cards.
Actually, that's not a problem with a multi-resource system, it's a problem with Ascension's randomized center row. You can never plan on what's coming up, just hope something good comes. Rune Age has 3 resources and juggles them all pretty well.
