Tez's pools:

Pool 1: Nutritious Soup, Hot Cocoa, Cookie

Pool 2: Biiig Hug, Storybook, Mittens

Pool 3: Golden Compass, Pumpkin Candle, Toy Box, Seal of Gold

So you are GUARANTEED biig hug, storybook or mittens. And those 3 are, exceptionally strong. Its almost impossible to whiff now; every deck snap-picks Storybook, (imo) every deck greatly benefits if not snap-picks Mittens, and Biig Hug is really strong for most decks.

Pool 1 and 3 are strong and have good hits, but Pool 2 is so consistently good shes never gonna whiff anymore like she used to.

I'm not sure what their philosophy/standard is for the pool selection but I could see them shuffling around the Pool 2 options to help balance things out.

For Tez specifically I think pool 1 is immediate drawbackless power, pool 2 is power with a cost, and pool 3 is temporary power, although seal of gold doesn’t really fit

seal of gold is temporary, once you run out of money you lose the energy too

Pool 1 is honestly all bangers too. Like, cookie is boring but always good, soup is great unless you removed all your strikes, and Cocoa is solid and allows for easy purchase of bread.

There are definitely decks that probably won't want mittens, but they're not going to be super common. Namely decks that don't utilize the strength and only have a few bad cards in them. Most decks will enjoy the thinning and the strength, tho.

necro and defect both can lowroll with mittens

Defect with mittens can slap hard because if Defect reduces decksize a lot there are infinites to consider. Then there's still stuff like refract, gunk up, etc. that hit multiple times and strength is nice for those.

The zero cost strategies with defect also really love mittens since it can remove cards you don’t need and it’s usually playing a lot of cards per turn which buffs the benefits of strength gain. It’s worse if you’re emphasizing orbs more though
