You don’t really want devotion, you just don’t want broken autoinclude neutrals

Lately I see that allot of people are asking for devotion support, and I can see why, we had bad experience with broken neutrals in the last few months

But devotion is not the solution, it is just shifting the very same problem in another way, if we implement devotion in the same way that the new neutrals were – by making the new devotion cards stronger than anything that currently exists in the game, we will have the very same problem but with devotion, all those people who played only Renfri last month – they are capable of playing devotion, and they will, they will just play the same strongest devotion that

Another problem that is inherent in devotion (we can debate if it's a good thing or a bad thing in the comment), is that it does not allow you to play the tech cards that counter the broken card of the month – just imagine if the the next patch pushes devotion hard, and every faction gets a devotion package that is stronger than the non devotion counter part, what if one of those devotion cards is a "Heatwave me or lose" card? than you either run Heatwave, and lose because you can't use the stronger devotion cards, or you either go devotion and the strategy goes out the window, with game becoming a binary match of who win round 1 (the winner of round 1 bleeds the loser's broken card)
