If you have no good plays should you save your money for next gen?

Is it worth not making any plays in a gen and just saving money for next gen? For example if you get really bad cards in the starting hand, is it worth just saving your money for when you get some good cards? E.g if you only draw late game/bad cards in the early game is it worth it to save your money so if you draw a good card like AI central or NRA your can play it the turn you get it down that gen or at least get it down more quickly compared to if you spend your money on SPs or weak cards.

Custom Cards - Energy Tag is too weak

I think both the Energy Tag and Thorgate are super weak at the moment so I wanted to give it some combo potential to help them out.

The microbe tag is also on the weaker side so Methanogens could be a good combo piece with them, especially in a rush strategy. I think also there are quite a few microbe cards that are overpriced and need some help to be good.

I also thought made a few cards to help out the Jovian and Venus strategies which I feel are bit on the weaker side. I think they are both over priced strategies and will often lose to something more mobile like terraforming or science. I like the idea of there being a big payoff to getting 30% Venus cause usually there isn't much of a point increasing the track after you unlock Venus Animals, raising Venus in general also feels weaker than raising the other parameters(Its not mandatory so your not taking points from your opponents unlike heat or oxygen) and the quality of Venus cards is also pretty bad so adding in a big Venus pay off could really help the strategy.

Steel also feels a lot worse of resources than titanium. I think this is because of the average card quality of building tags and also most of them are prod cards so are only good early game. I made a few late game steel targets to make it better at scoring and therefore make it more competitive with titanium.

I think these are mostly balanced and would help out some of the weaker strategies.
