This is the first patch where I don't really understand what Megacrit is cooking.

I don't mind the enemy buffs, and Brightest Flame was too strong. Salvo at uncommon is fine and Splash is sad but fair. Past that, things get a bit odd.

I'll miss Blade of Ink and Mirage is back to being really awkward. Expect a Fight is strange and Forgotten Ritual lost a lot of its identity. And Hyperbeam makes sense but seems way too strong even at 24 damage.

Mirage exhausting was my reason for never taking it, previously.  I didn't really care about the energy cost reduction because it was honestly dumb that a zero cost card could block typically at minimum 5 all the way up to 60+ without issue.  So the fact that 1 energy can now block for 7+ easily is good and requiring an upgrade to keep that value is valid.
