Before, Astaroth served as 2 Size 1's stuffed into 1 card, with much better stats then the actual Size 1's could hope for, while also giving you free Nice Ones, 1 gauge Abra Cadabras, 1 gauge Devil Fevers, free Devil Advantages, etc. The ability to get this while also retaining your rush tactics was a really big deal.

However, in tandem with this, Astaroth allows 72 Pillars to actually get their damage output OVER 6-7 crit per turn, which is a pretty dang big deal for them. Honestly, I'm more excited for the interaction with Gusion personally, but the interaction with Astaroth is really, really good.
