I love Astrologian - Minor Arcana Rework Suggestion

DT ast is lazy I'll still stand by this after playing some astro.
Minor arcana should serve as your "RNG damage buff cards" and normal draw as your "RNG Utility buff cards".

add in a cooldown on 90s that will turn your draw effect into a AOE effect (doesn't effect damage buttons)

I think the card system would be really fun and balanced with rng then.

Every card should have random effects similar to their Stormblood version
Royal Roading these 3 gives you Enhanced effect which doubles the effect of a card however makes it so it only applies to 1 person
Balance = 5% Damage
Spear = 5% Crit
Arrow = 5% Dhit
These 3 cards give you the spread effect
Ewer = MP
Bole = Damage Reduction
Spire = Regen
Divination should be removed and instead you get sleeve draw every 2mins that allows you to prep the cards.

I like the idea of GCD cards. I think for a simpler implementation something like I said above where they can be attacks that then auto-pick their buff-target could be better - as it also gives more offensive abilities - but yeah, stronger cards that need a GCD also work.

I don't get the second part though. You mean every 2 minutes you draw all 6 cards? Also if it's not that, but the default is groupwide, that'd be quite strong as it would mean you get to apply something like +5% damage and +5% crit every buff window. Sure, you personally lose 2 GCDs for it, but that's nothing. Royal Road as listed would be pretty useless. For solo play I suppose, but not worth a hotbar spot on an already crowded hotbar this way. If you however mean the actual drawn card is radom, that's the opposite effect and it'd just remove ASTs from all Savage/Ultimate. A 50% chance not to contribute to the burst window would be silly. Also, unless you remove the mana regen from draw, Ewer would have 0 purpose (all casters and healers are MP positive), and just be a dud-draw.

And if you remove Divination on top of messing with the damage cards, you make bringing an Astro even less appealing. The overall idea to make the cards much stronger but GCD sounds cool OTOH, just should be done with the current card system, not the old broken one.
