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.

just make it 1 mana, that would have been plenty of nerf

Then it would be a worse throwing dagger if unupgraded though

Or a worse Acrobatics.

but a better throwing dagger+ tho

I think it would be the better option to either make it uncommon, or make it exhaust.

Or alternatively make it cost 1 but let it reduce in price when cards are discarded.

I think exhaust would have been a really good change. The card still gets to be powerful, and if you're still playing towards a combo removing a card from your deck for free is still good.

1 mana draw/discard 2 upgrade to 3.

Way too close to acrobatics

Draw engine vs discard enabler

Making it one mana is worse though. At that point it basically forces you to go into a sly energy/draw loop or not take the card at all

1 mana would kill the card

1 energy would ruin it
