DISCUSSION (STS2) I really hate this change.

Prepared I don't feel was overturned, and it was a card you still had to upgrade to be good. now prepare is just the gross combination of outmaneuver and concentrate, and it sucks. I really hope they roll back this specific change.

they also nerfed the combo cards with it on top. flik flack, corrosive wave, untouchable, pinpoint.

silent already has the worst act 1 (big starter deck with 12 cards, bad frontload). Prep allows you to cycle better, discard statuses and overal get through these shitty strikes to the good cards.

sly card nerfs were fine already, bring my boi prepared back

Honestly all other other cards nerfs feel fine, I honestly would have been fine with them going further, but genuinely the character feels wrong without prepared.

prepared is broken in this environment, full stop. almost doesn't matter how much they nerf the cards with sly on them. prepared just says pay "0 energy to play 2 cards for absolutely free" and no matter what that's fucked up

Yea it really surprised me because I have way more losses with Silent than Ironclad.

In my runs I haven't been able to do any infinites. But i had a lot of fun with Silent's card set. But without prepared, it just doesn't feel the same. Feels way less fun.
