AST isn't interesting at all, the card mechanic is terrible. Its 'buffs' are two different flavors of Balance Jr., with astrosigns that matter so little that it's not worth redrawing a wrong one. Their design is boring and creatively bankrupt. Moving cards to the GCD allows more thinking time between Draw and Play and, correspondingly, allows the devs to create interesting DPS card effects that require more decision-making from the player than 'is this a melee or a ranged card?'.
