I really like the idea of having two spreads. Do you mean to have two different draw buttons, one for damage and one for utility, or still one draw button, but the old spead ability back, plus a second spread?
Either way, it's a nice solution to have support-type card effects for AST again, like defense or MP refresh. Together with Royal Road for AoE (and Sleeve Draw reworked to not being such a hassle to use on controller), it could be fun again.
I still think we should keep something like Divination for a direct damage buff, and have all the normal cards have other effects like critical hit, speed, and so on.
