I just think there are rarely any cards I want less than Crystallize. You can try camping on a mine getting two crystals each turn, or a glade getting a crystal and healing a wound each turn, I just find you can't afford to camp for long as the other players are doing too much stuff.

I agree with this. I guess Vlaada wasn't kidding when he said he was going to pay attention to the BGG polls he ran; this seems a very obvious attempt to rebalance based on Noble Manners being weak and Will Focus strong. Rejuvenate is as good as, and arguably better than any of the character-unique cards in the base game, whereas Crystal Joy is kind of a joke - why would I want to return the worst card in my hand to my deck after use? I can only imagine using it to get rid of a wound sometimes, but maybe that part will turn out to be more useful than I'm predicting. Instinct and Mana Pull aren't too exciting, but are decent upgrades to the base cards that fit the relevant characters well.
