Because of how you can't gain a seal unless you or your target has already hit something, if the game fails to register that first seal, div will be off kilter from the rest of the parties buff window for the entirety of a fight. (unless you hold it til the next window which is equally terrible)

On top of that, to have div ready for your opener, the party would need to wait to let ast's draw come off cd, which isn't very common outside of an organised party

As far as controller issues, I can't say much. I'ma controller user (play on console), but i've never personally felt taxed by Sleeve draw
With 1 card from Sleeve Draw, organised parties with an Ast are going to want 20s-25s pull timers so Draw is reset before bursts happen and can use Sleeve Draw, the chance to not get 2 different seals before needing Sleeve Draw for last one is very low with 3x Redraw, it makes the Ast 3 seal Divination opener a lot more consistent.

However this all came at the cost of 2 Lord/Lady cards, so 2x 8% on highest burst Dps during the opener for a nearly 100% 6% Divination on everyone.

This loss repeats for every 6 mins into a fight.

So something like Shiva Savage you lost 6x 8% dmg up on your best Dps players for a 6% Divination opener and less target swapping issues.

Is that worth it, nope, at least for PC players, but for controller players, possibly, but that be based on the individual, but most controller players were complaining about Sleeve Draw's target switching when they were trying to play optimal(Doing Malefic, card, Malefic, card, Malefic, card, Malefic, card in a 8 man party)
