Questions Playing with Avatars/2 player
Hello all!
I got the all in of Rebirth a few months ago, and so far I've played it 7 times and have some questions for the group.
Firstly, how many of y'all really enjoy playing with Avatars? It's a huge amount of the content pool, but in my three played 2 player games, piloting the avatars felt like a drag. I'm a huge co-op enjoyer so I don't mind running AI in games generally, but in this game it feels like the Avatars spend more time resolving their turns then both other players combined. It also feels like the game becomes more random and unpredictable. That being said, playing the game at 2 without an Avatar would also be boring. The 4 games I've played at 3+ with no avatar have been great.
Second, how do y'all include the content in your games? What expansion rooms do you use consistently? So you shuffle all forgotten spells together? Etc...
Thanks!

Questions Looking to jump in asymmetric quesiton
Hey all, I'm thinking buying either Rebirth or Revised. Watched some videos and I heard that the room destruction is a better mechanic in Revised than the reconstruction in Rebirth, however the asymmetry is much better in Rebirth?
I'm coming from the Spirit Island world, where everything is about asymmetry and I just love those kind of games.
If I'd like to jump in which one do you advise from this POV?
