Complexity =/= Feel good to play.

EW AST feels terrible because it's complex for the wrong reasons. Cards are disconnected that they feel like afterthoughts.

I get that people miss pre-EW SMN but I can see why they made the changes they did. They felt like SMN was a mess and felt like they couldn't do more without adding more convoluted filler to an already cramped job. They just elected to axe the old design and do something else.
