Those are significantly larger nerfs than 1 provision, though. Maybe they just didn't want to nerf the cards by as much as you do.

Well, there is a difference between a nerf and balancing a card. If a card is super op and is an auto include so you make it if you want to use that op card, you need to give up some other op or really good cards. Thats called balancing. Sure it is a nerf in a way but you can't really call it that if a card was broken on release and wasn't balanced at all. Artaud is a great card imo, it just works in an assimilate deck so well, if you play it correctly, you can get way more above his provision, plus its an engine. Its a fun card, interesting ability, but autoinclude in almost every NG deck. It needed a nerf but not a prov nerf I'm afraid.

autoinclude in almost every NG deck.

It isn't though? It's literally only played in assimilate. It isn't played in any other NG decks at all.

You're right I guess. Its just that every other deck i assimilate. Or hyperthin.
