New AST from a New Player

The problem is that unless the support buff is enough to change a benefic into a malefic (and with a cohealer and our host of oGCDs is that really likely?) then the DPS cards will always be preferable.
What I feel would be better is if you get a second 'play' action after the card, which would be a support/healing effect.

Though Bole's issue is still here - you can't ever guarantee that you have the right support skill. If you can't plan for having it, you have to assume that you won't have it.

Having played AST for quite a while, I would suggest a different effect for lady of Crowns and Lord of Crowns instead of damage. Since TP is not a thing anymore, if you drew a shire card it would be completely useless until you had draw again for 30 seconds mid fight. I would like another way to regain MP also, Lucid Dreaming is nice and so is lightspeed but I feel like the Piety build just doesn't cut it since SCH and WHM have different means to obtain some mp. I personally would love if they added a special effect for each card.
Balance:5% damage boost
Spear 5% crit boost
Bole 5% defense boost
arrow 5% cast time reduced
Ewer: 30 Mp potency regen for 10 seconds
Nothing too Major, I'd feel like this would give Astro back it's diversity from the other healers. Being the weakest dps of the 3 healers.

maybe they change balance into 5% direct hit so that Balance fishing wouldn't be a thing again. I feel like Ewer should be at least 40 potency since its still under RNG and not a guaranteed MP regen
