    They aren't hard, but the card drop for some of them is insanely low.
    Varis's card is on a fight that is pretty easy to fight unsynced now, but sometimes tough to find PF parties. Most people only want to do one run for wt/clear. There's only dyable job gear attached as a reward for the fight so that lessens the people who want to do a grind even further. Then it's possible (which happened to me quite a few times in the process) for everyone in your group to get what they want (usually gear wise if they don't care about the TT card) and just bounce, leaving you to find yet another group.
    Considering that every other reward in EX fights you can get after so many tries or buy off the marketboard (mats, music), feels kinda weird that the card is not available in that way.

    im at 349 cards, only missing the one from the new lvl 90 dungeon, and 4 of the red cards from the tournaments (seems kinda impossible to get without cheating imo)
    I farmed Varis on 80, no pain no gain.

    The four tournament cards are hardly impossible to get without placing #1-3. Just getting 20 wins against NPCs will give you enough points for 3 platinum packs, and will often get you to at least place #11-20 for the tournament-specific Bronze pack. Might even get you to place #7-10 too, for the Silver pack instead.

    Sure, it's still a long term goal at 4 chances every other week, but still not impossible. It's how I got 3 of the 4 cards (with the last from Tataru, when she was still around as a TT NPC).
