It's absolutely not a requirement. Elmer just only has 3*+ cards to drop so it can be sort of rare.

I have a theory on this. (Drop rate stuff)
RNG gonna RNG is all I have to say. I would reasonably expect EX Primals to have a higher drop rate on the cards than the Hard versions, but I seriously doubt we'll know any time soon unless someone starts working to collect a massive data set.
