Has anybody noticed any changes in card counts between the first and second editions of the game? An alert poster on the Board Game Geek forums alerted me to a change in Absolute Zero's deck. He seems to have swapped out a Coolant Blast for an extra copy of Frost-Bound Drain.
I assume this is intentional, because it strikes me as a positive change, but I thought I'd make sure. Has anybody noticed anything else like this?
I haven't noticed, but thanks for the heads-up. I'll update my card list with the new count.

Yes, it is intentional. Sorry for not letting you know sooner, Spiff!

I'm not too familiar with absolute zero, so why is it a positive change?
It removes a questionably/situationally useful (imho) ongoing and adds a damaging one shot (which ironically combos nicely with the remove ongoin).
It makes it a 'better' deck because Frost-Bound Drain also combos well with Isothermic Transducer (the fire module), giving more opportunities to pull off such a move.
