Astro's redraw defying logic

[BloodPact]

Think of it like this: You aren't redrawing just a card, you're redrawing someone's fate and there are only five other "fates" to draw from. The card it just a metaphor. >w>

Exactly. Think of the cards not as a physical object but as a visual representation of astromancy's magicks.

While that's a good way to look at it, and I probably will be doing that, it still feels kinda off since the chance of getting each fate is not the same.

Think of it like this: the Meta-physical drawing of a new fate determines the card that is drawn, not the other way around. The cards are just a visual aid and when fate was "re-drawn", that card was "fated" to be drawn.

Eh. Class fixes (or attempts to fix) > lore/immersion/graphics.

I agree in a certain level. People talk a lot about reworking Celestial Opposition to make it better and all. I think that changing it to some other ability wich doesn't match the whole "time-stop" thing wouldn't be so cool, so the lore would be more important than skill fix...

If you actually look at the cards an Astro has, they have two of each card (12 total) when they pull out their weapon.

Previously it was possible to spread a card, draw the same card, and shuffle into that exact same card (which would imply 3 of a card), so that's already lore breaking.

Or the fact that when you spread, the number of cards revolving your weapon doesn't reduce.

Also cards have always had the same grab rate. People have confirmation bias whenever they're like "I drew only Spires" and disregard that time they only drew Arrow or Balance.

This. The selective memory has bloated the issue greater than it actually is. Sure, it's annoying if you draw cards in a row when you don't want them. But you won't complain if you draw only good cards.

people want to be able to pick a specific card which is awful, so i'll settle for this.

Before heavensward when there still was an idea of a bad status card there were plans to make chance higher on some cards. didn't know this wasn't implemented

There was never a bad card, just a bad translation of abilities.
