How would you solve the boring "damage rotation" of the healers?

And for AST, the lesson I'd take (and hope SE takes) is that AOE Balance was not actually the problem, so much as it being AOE Balance.

Had an interesting thought, what if they brought Royal Road effects back, but instead of an effect that turns the card into AoE, what if it was an effect that shortens the duration of the next card played but adds the effect of the burned card in addition to the next card played? So if you burned Spear and played Balance, the target would get a shortened duration Spear and Balance.

Might be too imbalanced, didn't think much about it, just an idea that popped up.
