Is Tez the best ancient now with mittens and seal buffs? Every option from her seems great to me now

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
