Having variety with Astrologian cards is great and I’ll be sad to see it go. At the same time, I’m interested to see how things work with the new stuff like seals, Horoscope, etc.

I do understand why they homogenised card effects. Currently there’s very little actual justification to use cards like Bole, Spire, and even Ewer; Spear and Arrow are useful, but they’d still be Undrawn or used with Royal Road any time you can use Balance instead. At least this way we can’t draw a card and be like ‘oh well I can’t use this and Shuffle gave me a duplicate, guess I’ll just wait another 30 seconds to maybe get a buff that’s useful.

That said couldn’t have cards worked just as well with Seals and their original effects lol? Maybe with nerfed Balance to make it less central to the ability. I mean, the seals would incentivise using cards you wouldn’t have used before like Bole/Spire/Ewer
