I completely understand what you're saying, I just felt it was worth pointing out because some people DO have "terrible" decks, as you said.

Everyone has to start somewhere and, sometimes, those new shiny event R4s are all you got (I know that, last even, I did not MTM my episode Flamewars because all I would've been able to put in my back row would've been crappy R3s :P). I still managed to rank ~1200 thanks to my un-MTM'ed Flamewars that were outputting respectable damage in boss fights.

It should also be noted that, for the trans-scan to be worth it, you really need to max level the card ASAP! Otherwise you are losing out on a lot of ATK (because of the 30% bonus to ATK you are no longer getting from your 2 cards after trans-scanning them). You also need a decent replacement to put in as soon as you trans-scan your 2 raid cards.

So if you have 2 raid cards that are maxed out, but not enough credits/mats/characters to upgrade them yet, or don't have a decent replacement to fill in the spot, you might wanna hang on to their basic form for just a little longer.
