Card drops are insanely bad!

I'm annoyed that one of the new Triple Triad cards is an achievement for having 300 cards total. There are 301 cards, so your margin of error is to only be missing one card. That's pretty harsh, given the circumstances of how you get some cards. I'm at 291 now but I'll probably have to wait until patch 5.4 dropping even more cards before I even have a chance.

A lot of triple triad cards are locked behind something tho. Like beast tribes max rank, entire quest chains, Eureka, stupidly low drop rates from card packs (by my estimate i spent like 700k MGP to get both Warrior of Light and Zidane), literally a million of MGP (Cloud says hi) or in case of Thordan and Varis an Extreme Trial. Currently level 70 Stormblood dungeons are a problem as well, you can't unsync it solo and getting a farm group for them is hard since there's no point running the dungeons aside from glamour.
I am at 276 currently. Still missing 4 cards from Eureka, most of Stromblood dungeons and those MGP sinks.

But that definitely circles back to the few cards that are only available through EX fights. I'd love to see them be available as a drop in the regular fight, or from an NPC. I hope eventually they also make the Nier raid cards available from an NPC, like they eventually did with a lot of the Heavensward raid cards. If you never got the cards from the 24 mans, there is an NPC now in Idyllshire that you can duel for them.

They also added a NPC to Kugane for Ivalice cards, so i think it's likely.

Are the cards sold at the Golden Saucer something that will be discounted during the Make it Rain Campaign? Something I wondered about recently since I haven't shelled out for Cloud yet xD
