Did CDPR really have to dumb-down this game so much?
It takes away depth and fun - and for what? Accessibility? Appealing to the lowest common denominator for a larger profit margin? Maybe CDPR couldn't handle balancing their own game (and in many regards still can't)? So many cards have been ruined. One such example is Old Speartip. This and this are his current iterations and this is what he used to be. The mechanics and synergy were more interesting than what we have now; what we have now are two mechanically very dull cards with next to no interaction.
