AST before, on paper, sounded hard to use to someone like me who plays on controller. Having to juggle all those cards across different party members sounded like a nightmare. It was something I always wanted to try though.

AST now is far more accessible, on paper, as I don't need the 'right' cards anymore and just throw out cards as soon as possible. Even if it's wrong it's still a damage amp. I just have no desire to play it now though as the interesting spark is gone.

I play WHM cause it was easier than old AST. I play WHM as it feels more fun than new AST.
