Triple Triad has its quirks

Once you get 30 cards you can use more rare cards, go do primals, go farm content like garuda hard, go buy packs of cards, the npcs with the plus rule are at least beatable. QQ

"Once you get 30 cards"

Those last 5 or so cards are RETARDEDLY difficult to get.
Those last 5 cards should be called "you must now defeat NPCs who's hands contain 2-3 4* and 1-2 3* cards, with your hand of 4 1*s and maybe, just maybe, if you spent hours upon hours of playing math games with King Elmer, Bahamut.

TBH, I managed to get 20 cards without "excessive" difficulty. But after 20, things got progressively more difficult as I blatantly ran out of NPCs who's decks were anywhere near my game gimped level.
So, maybe if they cut down the gating by 1/3, things would be reasonable.
0-19 cards, 1 star hand.
20-39 cards, 2 star hand
40-59 cards, 3 star hand
60+, 4 star hand

Atm there are supposedly 80 cards total.
Of them, 20 are 5 star.
So to unlock a 4 star hand under these rules, you literally need every card BUT the 5 stars... Seems fair doesnt it?

Honestly what is the point of 4 star cards anyway?
Under the current system we cannot use more than 1 card above 3 star. And with 5 star cards available, who would use their one slot on a 4 star?
Under the current system, the only purpose of 4 star cards is for NPCs to stack their decks with to kick our asses. This is just bad design.
