Revert Saesenthessis

+
As an introduction
Current ability: Remove this unit's Immunity until the start of your turn.
Previous ability: Remove this unit's Immunity until the end of your turn.

It may not seem much but there is a huge different there. The previous version actually had a purpose, there was a clever idea behind this ability, that of storing boost on an immune body, similar to the newly released Lonely Champion for syndicate. The current version might aswell not have an order ability, it doesn't serve any purpose and makes no sense.

Now the previous ability had some problems, hence why it was changed. First of all it was used in no-unit decks, very popular and unfun to play against, however to combat that type of playstyle a 13 unit minimum has been introduced. Another tactic that apparently some found a bit oppressive was in combination with Mystic Echo and Garrison, giving immunity to 20 points. This tactic is unusable now because mystic echo can't play garrison anymore and the bigger change is yet to come with the announcement that Mystic echo will be reworked, probably removing ST's ability to play 2 specials in the same turn, outside Forge which is limited to 5 points.

With all this in mind i think that once the leader rework patch hits, Saesenthessis should revert back to her previous version because the factors that caused her ability to change no longer exist.

That change alone would make Shaping Nature playable, even though it will probably be the Vitality option on Saesenthessis in almost every case.

Saesenthesis is the least of ST's problems right now. ST bronzes need a complete overhaul in either abilities, provisions or both. A lot of their golds are downright bad too when compared to autowin cons in other factions.

This would be a start though.

This suggestion is about card design, not buffing ST. It doesn't matter how strong or weak the faction is right now, even if ST had 90% popularity and 80% winrate my arguments for Saesenthessis would be exactly the same.
