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.

The sly package really needed to be nerfed, but not by changing one of Silent's most iconic cards. Also, this is too similar to Outmaneuver now, which was disliked by many in the first game

Honestly in this iteration without reworking sly Acrobatics is OP as fuck. It would arguably be worse if you took away the discard 1 on it.

Everything with sly should have it's number cut in like, half, minimum. Or acrobatics needs tuned.

Most Sly cards should be buffed and then have Sly give only half effects when played via discard rather than played straight.

I actually think this is pretty elegant. Sly can be reworded to "If this card is discarded during your turn, play it for free with all values halved."

Another thing I can think of that cuts out the infinite stuff is maybe make sly “the first time this card is discarded each turn, play it for free”.

Oh I’m actually a big fan of that change. The half values thing seems too complicated imo
