to my mind-arcanists titles are one of the worst among all factions, maybe tt is worst
marcus is pretty strong; colette is super good, but as somebody told-she dont need her keyword at all; hoffman have very big npe potential-pylons are not destractible, even if they want make them not destractible-they should do them not impass with height 0; mei become a support, which is not really good; rasputina have some positive vibrations to play in keyword, but still better to take amina to make golem work, also she have no good atack actions, summon is good, but still no card draw(tools for a job is good, but u need to add some cards in your hand, not only exchange); kaeris still have very bad def for melee fighter, also they didnt balance her dmg with no resist at the end of a turn; toni have some good schemerun potential with bonus, but her other actions are garbage; sandip-didnt keen on him, so even didnt read his card, but new golem is not so bad
also they didnt give our faction tools that we need with new models-card draw, remove any marker, ignoring healing/demise
