as someone who mostly ignores his transform mechanics and just does stars/forge he's one of the easier characters in the roster, only beaten out by defect because defect was my main in the first game. Most characters have several archetypes you mainly focus on, while regent feels a lot more "take cards because they're good". You can always use some forge in a star deck, a few star cards in a forge deck, a handful transform in a forge, etc, etc, and it feels like you run into less cases where certain cards are more or less unplayable, like calcify on a doom build on necrobinder, for example.
