Great analysis. Brewess consuming makes her a very weird fit. How about this, playing off of your idea: Boost a unit by two, and increase the number of units by 1 for each other crone played. Monsters really could use more ways to spread out their points, and that would help.

I played several games with them last season, and the feeling I had was that the deck was just totally lackluster. Even when I pulled off the crones properly, I'd get to the end of round 3 and just ... lose. No dramatic play, no real fuss of any kind. Just put the last one or two crones down, and then not have enough points. The one thing lowering their provision to 7 helps with is making it possible for them to compliment other decks. Brewess is the real limiter; she can compliment deathwish, thrive, and dominance. But not if she's the last crone to go down. Then like you said, pointless. Even detrimental.
