The actual competitive side of the game has been subsidized by collectors for a long time, arguably since Black and White started introducing full art versions of cards in the main set as chase cards. Introducing chase cards like this not only makes the collectors go crazy, but because plenty of packs have to be opened to get said chase cards, it also means the "undesirable" cards in the set get cheaper as they're being opened at a higher rate. Also helps with players who want to bling out their decks, sure you can use the normal Rare or the tin Promo for your deck, or you can get the Full Art. Your chose, fren?
