For context, these cards are made to be played in the Pokmon TCG
Another factor playing into our selection was making sure that there was diversity, even with just four Scene Boxes to highlight characters, we wanted to make sure that all of our fans felt included as much as possible. In addition to the four scene boxes, Wizards of the Coast will also be rolling out new Special Edition Collector Boosters for Tales of Middle-Earth around the same time, which will potentially include any of twenty cards from the original set in a brand new 60s rock poster art style - as well as rare serialized versions of these cards numbered up through 100
If your deck is trying to cast as many X spells as possible every turn, and wants X to be as much as possible, we probably want to prioritize ramp more highly than just 8 or 10 spells - in fact, I can see running 60 mana sources, like this Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire deck
Yuna, Grand Summoner* Yuna serves a multitude of roles as ramp, counter placer, and as a limited Ozolith to serve as some protection for your counters
Also, vs purple Luffy you cannot get Paul, so they lose the perfect curve, and you attack for 7.7 is the best number vs 5k leaders
