And Quilt. Hell, even King Seahorse. They don't have clan requirements, so you don't have to worry about not being able to use the Skill. Hell, you can use Aermo from the Kagero, even Helena in the Narukami deck, in any clan deck. Cycling units aren't game winners, and they're poor boosters. You shouldn't even be worked up about these cards because they're subpar; you can live without them.
Also, Turboraizer being common, compared to Battleraizer, is a blessing. Hell, you can get FOUR BATTLERAIZER easy when the Trial Decks come out. If not, you can buy them in singles because it's HELL of a lot easier.
My concern is purely in the card value and not the actual card effect itself. I feel PR cards deserves a better evaluation. Yet its sad to see the english department releasing these previously hard to get cards in C variants.. I'm just using "thinning" class cards as an example since all of them are not C releases (Japanese) iirc.
And in my community, the term filtering is coined for them cards/act instead of "thinning". I'm just using a local slang thats all. If it confuses you, I apologise.
I believe that the trader market plays a huge part on whether a card game survives or not.
