Gutting Astro... again.....

EW made the worst possible changes to the ShB system and then used the resulting unpopularity to justify basically removing the card entirely

ShB’s one flaw was the cards were boring as hell in terms of their flavour (this is specifically in reference to cards, not how AST’s ShB healing design was the precursor to how stupidly broken SGE is on free healing), everything else was near perfect. Minor arcana, sleeve draw and stacks of redraw all allowed for easy mitigation of poor RNG and the class allowed for a lot of expression organising around sub burst windows with the off burst cards

If they had added flavour back to the ShB cards (maybe having a second deck of utility cards with a separate CD, then this could have been fixed, but instead they made the worst changes possible with EW then threw the baby out with the bath water

And now modern 'expression' is just:

Press Sleeve Draw
Play
Play
Play
Play Lord/Lady Arcanum


It's unfortunate what the card system has been watered down to.
