Yes, one has some utterly stupid stashes of never to be used cards from the days spent farming one post for gold. But if I look around my flat, I also have stockpiles of crap. Why should not the endless disappointment of unlucy draws be part of the background noise. Worse I think is unfair draws, which they seem to have eliminated rather than repaired -- the marathons had more life earlier, but you risked not getting a key card in 6 or 7 draws even when you'd done everything else right and by the book.

It does sound however, that youa re about to make a breakthrough - when the duels start and cards pour in and you can level up (read the guides which tell you never to do this except on days when you shoot for a tournée win). Once the duel has fulfilled its function of supply cards, the surplus get transmorphed into dust which gets traded for the items you wish; so soon you will have a surplus of most things. These are largely later developments, so I don't know how much more/less tedious the early push still feels. Just remember only level/seduce the cards you need to collect to have your best playing deck. This is all written up in the brillian guide.
