I have to point out that most of the things you listed aren't related to AST gameplay directly. ShB fights and story are amazing, the changes to DoL/DoH clean up quite a bit of cruft, and the music is god-tier. But none of these change the fact that compared to SB, AST cards are less diverse in their effects, and Divination is (subjectively) less satisfying to pull off than spreading cards or manipulating buff durations.

Now I'm no AST main, so I'm genuinely curious as to why you prefer ShB's version of AST compared to SB's. Aren't the cards less mechanically interesting?
