I feel like this isn't the type of pill we are meant to swallow.

I just still don't really understand the huge CU nerf given that Asylum and more importantly Sacred Soil received buffs. But as they say "potencies may be changed" so... /schrug
I always thought Earthly Star was AST's analogue to Asylum and Sacred Soil since it came out. I suppose the other skill (Is it CU?) from AST may fit more closely for sure now, though.
