I don't know why some people can't understand this.

Astrologian card control is about extending your options with their card management skills. If you royal road before having a card on Spread or knowing that your abilities won't be ready to use for next draw means you're minimizing your card output instead of maximizing it. So basically you're more dependant from RNG, the same RNG that you should be controling will be controlling you.
We have to take a look at the situations, that happens in real.
I queue up, get invite and have a party with DRK/Caster/Caster.
Then I have increased strengh in the royal road.
I draw. Tower -> Shuffle -> Tower.
Many times this happens.
I don't want to waste my RR for that card. I don't wand to hold it because I will never need it.
So what do? Cancel or let it run out.
Tower????!!!???
Never is a strong word miss. Guessing "tower" is Spire, You sure don't know how it can be strong. If you don't wanna spend your RR it, either use imediately or Spread. This gets inside the case I told you earlier that Royal Roading before having Spread minimizes your possibilities, specially on four man content. Guess what, the DRK would be pretty happy with a Spire.
If you deslike RNG that much, stop playing Astro is always an option you know.
I'll occasionally cancel Expanded RR when I draw Bole and want to place it on the tank.
There's no benefit to having a half-strength damage reduction buff on the tank and everyone else. I want the full-strength buff on the tank to maximize its benefit.
Though I'd rather the Expanded effect be changed so that its primary target gets the full benefit. That way, if I place spire, ewer, bole, that the others get a 50% buff that's useless to them doesn't really matter. The primary target is still getting the full effect.
