Improvements to the card "Promote"
At this moment this card converts all the istances of a card to gold, and in my opinion, if you have only 1 or 2 same bronze cards it doesn't perform particularly well. So my change to this card would be: "Convert up to 3 cards to gold", this way it makes this card more reliable, and prevents it to be too powerful in some specific cases, like when there are many ban ard adepts or 6-9 PFI.
If in this way the card seems a bit unbalanced, it could promote up to 3 cards, but these cards must be on the same row and/or if you choose a silver card, you cannot choose other cards to promote (although personally I think that limiting the card to a single row is more than enough, maybe a bit too much.).
Also another little change that could be added, is that it can also target a card in hand, but then only 1, and it's effect is not applied to other istances of the same card (this improves the chance of surviving the first turn on some key cards like margarita or tower/ballista).
So the final ''form'' of this card could be "Choose up to 3 cards on the same row on your side of the battlefield, or 1 from your hand, and convert it to gold.". This might improve the situation with the NR promote tactict, which IMO at this point in time, is disappointing. Especially since for promote to be effective you need 3 of the same card, so you must always put the same 3 cards in your deck and reinforcements is a must have. With this change however, you can choose to swap reinforcements for something else, and you can also choose not to have 3 towers and 3 ballistas, but like 2 towers, 2 ballistas, and any two other cards you might want to use in your deck.
