I agree the job needed a change because your first two draws of the game being The Spire vs. The Ewer made too big of a difference in the match's outcome.

Just because a change was needed doesn't mean that any change at all is a good change.
In FL, spire was dependant upon your group- if you and your group were able to stay together AND if RNG was on your side- then you would get a lot of benefit out of it. If on the other hand, you weren't drawing spire and/or your party was either getting annihilated or running in completely different directions, taking them out out your buff range- then the benefit was clearly not as strong. So I don't see why FL would justify this change.

I'm even less convinced given that AST PVE changes to minor arcana , which in principle were a good idea, ended up being poorly implemented and will hopefully get patched.
