    I would quote a post on here but it's difficult on my phone. Being a good AST isn't about getting the card you want, but being able to know what to do with the cards that you get. Those other cards are very useful as well. Not just balance. I'm amazed at how many people don't even bother using Royal Road

    Okay... Yes. The basic or "good" AST knows that all cards are useful. But the basic AST also knows that all cards aren't useful all the time. For example: Spear, while great for royal road, isn't useful when used to buff someone unless they're popping cooldowns at that moment.

    Also IMO some cards really aren't good enough to make up for the 30-60 seconds cooldowns.

    By the way, I have never seen a lv60 AST not use royal road. o.o

    A "good AST" still has the same likelihood of Drawing 6 Spires in a row in a caster-oriented 4-man as a "bad AST". Hope your tanks really appreciate that extended TP reduction which does very little to boost your group's overall efficiency.

    I wish people would stop equating RNG to skill. Balance isn't the only "useful" card, I agree, but Bole sucks to Draw during burn phases and endless Ewers during short encounters is frustrating, to say the least.
