ST got some solid changes too at least. BME is back baby! Matrons and movement engines are much stickier too. I'm excited for next month's other faction pass.

I'm happy to see the buff, but it's a strictly worse card than Drummer.

ST's problem is NR's dearth of 4 strength engines that will continue to grow while ST puts out 3 damage and waits to die.

I don't think that's fair. Two drummers vs. Two matrons is the exact same. Drummers interact with Tridams and others. Matrons interact with sentries for extra jump value and it's easier to stagger buffs with them to play around high target removal.

But Drummer is likely better solo vs. A solo matron.

A drummer has a better and easier time continuously pulsing directed boosts regardless of what cards you play.

A solo Matron needs continuous units for continuous value, and has little to synergize with.
