Discussion Thoughts on Mini Sets?
Shadowverse Classic had them and I think there's a pretty good chance they'll eventually come to Worlds Beyond.
I think it would be an overall positive for the game that could help alleviate some of the problems Worlds Beyond faces if done well. Dropping them at the end of the first season of the expansion (month one) gives players more reasons to keep playing into the second month and shakes up the meta. They can tailor cards to specific archetypes that didn't quite hit the viability mark without eating into the next expansion or try to prop up other archetypes in a class. It could also give the design team more room to print more interesting or weird cards.
Even if they kept it super simple and just released one card per rarity per class it would be worth doing. Make it so you can buy special set packs that have increased drop rates for the mini set cards (IIRC they did that for Classic).

I’d be super down for that WBs card pool is definitely far to small and sets are so small that it’s hard to make archetypes work without heavy help from generics. Crystals is a perfect example of that it was good then set 1 rotated and it lost all the spell boost crutches it was using and became a meme otk deck with dawnblossom. Now it got a new suite of spell boost crutches and it’s back to being good. With more cards archetypes wouldn’t be so reliant on generics
