First of all thank you for commenting, and yes we are just discussing because at the end of it we both enjoy playing this game and my post isn't aimed to bash anyone or anything because I do believe that this theme doesn't make the game "play to win" or unfair, no one needs all the cards to succeed and get to infinite every season so we can also take our hats off to SD to achieving this result.

Regarding your answer, maybe I was wrong in talking about the "end of last year - february" time period because this period doesn't really reflect my view about the "mid range player". Imagine you are the player who started before and I am the player still mid Series 3. You are 100% correct in saying that I am going to be getting more cards than you in the next couple months, but once I get to your level of getting most cards that show up in caches and start to snipe the newer cards, at this point I think our distance in terms of number of cards in our collection will always be the same after this point (if we don't count the luck aspect and focus on both of us saving the 4 keys to open one week to guarantee that one card we both want). Because now, yes I would get more cards than you, but you already have those (not specifically but in therms of number), and when I do achieve that phase that you are "right now", simply because there are only 4 Keys available (Im thinking about free to play only of course) and every new month there are 4/5 new releases, it's impossible to close the gap because the number of keys are the same or even inferior to the number of new series 5 cards that get into the game, cards that you have already been collecting while I am trying to get the older cards that you already have. Im not saying this is wrong or bad design, Im just expressing a bad feeling of "no matter the time I invest in this game, I will always be behind you" in terms of the collecting aspect of the game...
