I found the sleeve draw and redraw in SHB kept astro fun for me due to the fast paced gameplay. Astrodyne and the removal of sleeve draw and redraw charges killed AST for me in EW after we already lost the more interesting cards in SB, the job became just frustrating and boring to me.

Every card being just damage is boring imo, I like that we can draw cards that do different things again and I hope that we get some skills back that interact with our cards again. I would love SB cards back but since we can't seem to get those back as they were I am happier with this iteration than EW one by far. I hope in future they add more abilities to interact with the cards again. I enjoyed those a lot. I also enjoy the more proactive approach you take to healing with ast as opposed to whm. Cooking your spells and letting it go off a fraction of a second after the damage comes out is always satisfying to me. More of that would be cool too. It feels more thoughtful than WHM.
