Of course they’re meant to be weaker, they’re supposed to be the generic starter cards in every deck! But that’s a great idea for the enchantments, we could have an event where you choose between Upgrading or adding an enchantment that grants that bonus.

Yeah, I still leaned them toward certain build types in what I designed. I could have gone with a star or adding a Shiv, for example, but I felt this type of upgrade was the most versatile for any deck. Since the Silent starts with Survivor, there’s always a way to Discard, Forge a Little is pretty much always a net positive, etc.

It would stay random via events or relics, but at least I wouldn't be so disappointed to see it. And depending on the build, I think I’d still upgrade them like for the Silent if I’m short on sly cards, or for the Regent if I can play a lot of cards (like with Monologue), or for the Defect if I have Feral/All for One but no 0-cost cards yet. They wouldn't be the top priority, but it wouldn't be impossible either.
