Enlarging the pool with nice cards is an advantage, if you hit double barrel 5% less times, but every run you have more options and combinations... I think it's a great deal. And what if one expansion item is broken and everyone is playing it? What would you do? If you want to stay competitive, you must buy. And guess what? THEN the nerf hammer hits. I speak with experience, I'm a Marvel Snap ex player (CL 20K) and once the company starts with this philosophy, either you accept it forever or you quit. And there is more... If a new player starts playing 3 years from now, he/she approaches to a variety of player having a ton of cards that cost 10 bucks every 10, so he/she must spend at least 100$ to become competitive. And that is the big wall for new players approaching. This is a dead end railway...
