Underseat floatation devices are rarely used. Do they have no utility whatsoever, as was claimed upthread for all pokemom cards?
The spendy cards don't have utility to match their price, but the commons are fine. If it's correct that all of the spendy cards have cheap equivalents, that's great for everyone. Nobody has to feel like they need to spend big money to get a black lotus and hope they don't damage it in use.
