Ik it’s predominantly a (somewhat annoying) way of getting eyes on the sale / auction but it’s additionally funny to me because there are XYZ combos that are hundreds of times more desirable and sought after than some terrible doubles
Like, there was that one outrageous oilslick (I think it was with like, beige and slate) auction that got bidding warred up to nearly triple prices.
But there are doubles like cinnamon/shamrock that sit on the AH for months at 150g
So I *guess* people are trying to advertise dragons as matchy when they do that but
As you’ve already said, it gets to be a stretch sometimes
Nah I totally agree, some doubles can be underwhelming and plenty of XYZ's are incredible. It's part of why I think it's silly to pass fodder XYZ's as near-double when the colours are like. Cyan/Hunter or Eldrich/Orchid and the like. I'm just poking fun as an XYZ collector myself to be clear :^)
