    To be honest, I fairly like NobleWinter's concept idea.. it looks a little rough, like a concept that could be improved, but it does look good, while I can
    also comprehend why others posted replied with issues/having issue with the concept.

    I also most definitely agree with TY_Taurus's point that the best thing Astrologian card could have for a change, is no DPS relation and pure utility,
    as that is both a good idea, and would also solve one of the fundamental problems with the cars.

    additionally, I really like the idea that SweetPete shares at the end of page 4, as that could have the potential of being a problem-solve for the
    new-versus-old preferences issue.

    alright, and now for a (controversial?) statement, my own opinion...
    what if the RNG aspect of the Astrologian cards, that (a lot of?/some?) people had/have(?) a problem with, was either just completely removed, or at the least, reduced a lot? This would not be relevant to the current Astrologian cards, though... my opinion is more pointed towards the old cards, and/or if the Astrologian cards were changed to be more complex, effect-diverse, fun, interesting, and unique again.

    Another Idea that came up a while back (and I mean like a year or so ago) was the idea of separating Draw into Categories:

    Solar Draw:
    You can only draw The Balance (6% melee damage buff) or The Arrow (6% ranged damage buff)

    Lunar Draw:
    You can only draw The Bole (20% damage reduction) or The Spear (Increases chance to receive critical heals)

    Celestial Draw:
    You can only draw The Ewer (MP Refresh Effect) or The Spire (Reduces MP costs and cast time)

    The idea is they all share a cooldown, and you still need the seals for Divination. With this in mind, players would be using Solar Draw most of the time, but since you need a lunar seal and celestial seal at some point between one Divination and the next, you can to find the right moments when those elements of utility (Defense or Resource management) are the most advantageous since you are manually picking when those elements arise.

    Additionally, instead of reshuffle, you have a new action called "Reverse" where you swap your current card for the other card of the same seal (i.e. swap Balance for Arrow and vice versa or swap Bole for Spear. You get the idea).

    Honestly, I feel like this idea might be the farthest back toward how the old cards worked that we could realistically expect (though I don't necessarily find it likely).
