Some cards are only available at specific collection level ranges. These ranges are known as pools. When you’re in one of the pool ranges, you’ll be matched up against other players in the same pool, meaning you won’t get matched up with players who have better decks than you. It’s a way to keep the matches feeling fair and even.

Let’s take a look below at the pools and their ranges.

As your collection level increases, you’ll be placed into one of the three pools above. The number of cards in each pool represented how many exclusive cards there are in each range. The cards you obtain are random, so you might get the best cards first if you’re lucky. You will not move up in a pool until you have the corresponding collection level.
