The rules of the game have morphed and grown in complexity
Akiri gives instant speed indestructibility which makes it easier to play out multiple threats like Balan, Wandering Knight and Kemba, Kha Regent and just swing out with all of them knowing that youre drawing a card per opponent you attack and that you can protect them at instant speed for a single white
Completing a collection of V and VMAX cards has only gotten more difficult as more sets have come out, like Fusion Strike and Evolving Skies , but given that these cards can potentially take down opponents during both casual and competitive play, they're definitely worth tracking down
The current system, while workable, creates artificial trade barriers by giving incentive to people to consistently trade with the same bots they already have credits on instead of searching for the best price for each individual card
