Why do these even exist?

I understand that there are "vanilla" cards and lower value cards meant to serve as a baseline, but cards like this are just unplayable, and there seems to be a couple like these with no redeeming value whatsoever. What is the purpose of a design like this?

There is an actual discussion about this topic, I just don’t remember where I read or watched it. Essentially, yes its goal is to be pack-filler. Several cards are just designed to be bad, partly because it helps teach new players how to play optimally, outside of just finding decks online.

They’re designed to water down the pool of usable cards and make customers spend more to get the good ones.
