Yeah but they give you tools you act on RNG.
Yes we had 6 cards but :
- You never used Spire outside of Royal Road
- You never used Bole
- you scarcely used Ewer for MP, otherwise it was royal road.
- Arrow was not a good thing for some jobs
---- All this submitted to RNG. Having a bole come right for a Tank Buster is more than rare. Same for Ewer when someone is lacking MP.

Now it's just DMG up, and you cycle through Seals for Divination full potency (although like a said, 6% every 3minutes is too low in my opinion, unless you can stack it with individual cards)
I agree, it's less "challenging" than current cards but I don't know if it is really that bad, especially if fights need more healing and you Draw more frequently.

Also I'm grateful we are finally getting rid of this Sleeve Draw Scenario :

So:
1) You never paid attention to the Tank and Melee DPS's TP bars, I've used Spire plenty as a straight play because DPS don't always watch the party's bars to Goad.
2) You never thought that anyone taking less damage was a good thing.
3) You never had any near-wipes that were saved with Lightspeed-heal and Swift-raise spam that left you running on empty, or needed to refill a fellow healer, BRD after Foe Requiem, or just RDM as they're raise-spamming.
4) You never took the time to learn which jobs it was bad for and avoid, or just drop it on yourself.

The card system is useable for both novice and expert. Potency of effects needs to be tweaked, Spire needs to be redone, maybe Arrow needs to affect GCD too (or why are MNK jazzed about a fourth level of Greased Lightning but hate Arrow? Both are going to make you faster). But your arguments mean you min-maxed yourself straight out of what makes the job engaging and fun, and should turn in your (now last remaining) AST card.
