A clever but simple thing I've noticed that STS does to add some tactical crunch to combat

Onigashima
is that a lot of enemy attacks do amounts of damage that are slightly over a multiple of five

Onigashima
6, 11, etc

Onigashima
and the reason this is a substantial change is that the default defense card every deck gets, Block, blocks 5 damage

Onigashima
so if you have an incoming attack for 6 damage

Onigashima
you can play one Block, and just eat the 1 damage

Onigashima
or you can play two and not

Onigashima
but playing two cards when you have 3 energy is a serious investment

Onigashima
so the constant question is 'is it worth avoiding one or two points of damage'
