Agree, setup for acquiring Raid Cards sucks. They should have affordable guarantees for the x3 ($5-$10 total for both forms), moderate for the x5 ($10-$20) for both forms, and none or very expensive for the x10. However after the event, the x10 should be available, at long odds, through the normal gold medal space bridges at it's normal R5 state.

Also there should be increasing odds of drawing the x3 or x5 as the even progresses, especially if the card is not present in the User's base. For example, there should be a pretty easy system check that says if episode card X is missing from a user's base on day 6 of an event, then the odds of drawing it improve from 10,000 to 1, to 500 to 1 (not official odds, just an example). They would only need to run this on the x3 and x5 cards (the x10 should remain Ultra rare), so a check for 4 cards, and if the card exists it the deck (or the transcanned version) then odds remain the same as day 1. This would give every one an improved shot at the cards, plus a benefit to those willing to spend the cash to get the cards early (they'll be able to 1 cube bosses longer), and still minimize the army of x3s and x5s we often see.
