I don't know what that means or care. Wait, I'm sorry are you upset I used YOUR god's name in vain? Grow up. Lots of people don't believe in your god and you're gonna need to deal with that like an adult
I have an alternative proposal: Make illustration rares the standard. Instead of having two versions, just do the illustration rares and those are the ones in the set. You have money on the comission of artwork, the sets are smaller, easier to fill, and the cards get the better looking art.
As stupid as those people are I don't think they're responsible. It probably has more to do with set composition. Honestly I think there are just too many goddamn special rares, they're like more than half the set. We already have a thing for that, it's called Reverse Holos.

Also Pokémon is so goddamn easy to understand, the people who don't get it just need better guidance. They'd be the same people who play mono Red with no converted mana cost less than 6
