My thoughts on the matter is that I'm glad that the randomness was removed. I absolutely didn't like playing AST because the cards were too random and confusing on how to use. I'd have to stop and check the tool tip for every single card as it's drawn just to see what it does and who to use it on. And with so many different options it could be, I was struggling to recognize them at a glance. With the current system, I have already gotten to the point where at a glance I know exactly what cards I have, and how to use them. Took a bit to get to that point, but I was able to reach it.

As for Astrodyne, I had it for a bit before DT went live. And honestly... I wasn't particularly impressed by it.
