AST Minor Arcana need to be changed back!

[Wayfinder3]

Yes, but that method of holding the card meant that your only option was to play it (and use your Royal Road).

But to be fair, this is mostly because we're talking in the context of how it was back then vs how it is now. Button bloat was the only reason you couldn't have Draw/Play on separate buttons back then and eliminate the problem of having to use the card immediately.

Similarly, you now have to use the cards immediately because of one button: Sleeve Draw.

However, my opinion is that this is predominantly a controller problem and I agree with Shurrikhan on this. As a bonus, improving controller support to solve this problem is not only QoL for this specific problem, but across the board.

Alright, but how do you do it. How do you improve the controller problem specifically that comes from needing to target. do controllers get a pass on targeting party members, or does the controller automatically just knows your target and applies the card. im generally curious why your solution is rocket science when the issue is to simply reduce the amount targeting abilities the stems from the card system. Personally, idm how the old system worked but if SE does, then create a system where the cards provide defense buffs to get seals, then use the seals for Divination. return Minor Arcana to lord of crowns 300 potency and be done with it.

Bole/Balance Reduce damage take by 5%
Ewer/Sprie Restore MP
Arrow/Spear Increase effectiveness Healing abilities. get all 3 and you get Divination.
then use cards you don't need for Lord of crowns (remove Lady)

it's simplistic but considering the dps rotation is literally spamming a nuke and a dot, they can add complexity there while keeping functionality, and not falling back on balance > all
