On Ashur Tablets 2. "problematic card"

This is the second thread of the discussions about cards some people see as problematic.

As this is a collection of arguments for keeping the card as it is (PRO card) or changing it in whatever way (CONTRA card).

It would be most useful, if you could write above your entry, if your arguments are PRO or CONTRA the card as it is to attain best clarity of what speaks in favor of the card and what does not.

After 7 days of discussion I will initialize a poll about that specific card, in which the alternatives can be found.


Ashur Tablets
Cardtype: Master
Master.
Put this card in play. If you have three copies in play, remove all copies in play (even controlled by other Methuselahs) from the game to gain 3 pool and choose up to thirteen cards from your ash heap. Move one of those cards to your hand and shuffle the others into your library.


I'm not sure on this card. I'm a bit annoyed that so many people rely on it and I think it is just so good because of Liquidation. After all it is just 3 pool for 3 MPAs. Of course recursion is always strong. But master cards are often very good. And there must be something in addtion to the poolgain. So yet I'm rather PRO.

PRO

Fine as it is. You sacrifice 3 MPA to get 3 pool and some cards back. True, the stalling effect it has on the game can be annoying but I can live with that.
Also the added effect of removing all Ashur Tablets on the table when it triggers makes it quite balanced.

PRO

same reasons as Aeschere

CONTRA

Taking repeatedly the same Sudden or DI into hand is very annoying. It synergizes too well with MMPAs.

CONTRA

I feel that whole "broken" effect comes from 1 thing : multiple MPA dacks fetching back masters to abuse through multiple MPA's

So, my proposed change would be - no card goes in hand, and only gives back MINION cards.
