    Speaking for myself: it's not about whether the cards are more powerful or weaker. It's more about having the agency to manipulate 'a useless card' into 'actually useful card'.

    When I speak of "drop us a Royal Road", imagine there's this one hypothetical button that lets you sacrifice your unused Bole/Arrow cards to empower your next card play, whichever they are. Can you keep playing Bole/Arrow as it is? Surely do. You can even empower them if you wish to, there's the option for that. Hell you probably would consider that if you're suddenly paired with a bad tank: i.e. "What's this? I can turn my bole from 10% to 30% mit? Hell yeah gimme that!"

    Suddenly all cards could becomes useful, not something that you throw out because 'lol it's a free mit/heal' which is exactly why we already have charged intersection, essential dignities, one exaltation, and plethora of other oGCDs. If they deemed that we DO need these extra single target mit/heals, then they could've just given us an extra charges of these and they still would have the space to create a better card system - we have absolutely no reason to sacrifice this design space for more or less the same purpose button 'but card VFX', that's so wasteful.
