You're missing the point. Having what you need when you need it > leaving it up to chance. Plus, they aren't "mutually exclusive", they just share a resource. Like mana. Just because I use SS doesn't mean I can't still use indom and/or lustrate immediately after. You just can't go apeshit with using them. Plus, you can use Fey Wind with SS, which is virtually like forcing an AE balance/arrow draw and a bole draw every 60 and 30 sec (respectively) together. Something not even possible on ast.

Apart from cards (and sects, but that is obvious), Ast and Whm have access to their arsenal all the time until MP last.
And I don't get what point you're trying to make here. Aetherflow can equate to cards and fairies to sects in this statement. Except that you have total control over everything on sch and can even swap fairies during a fight should you need to.
