Should You Exchange Cards To Get Trade Tokens?

Trading is Useful for Collecting Cards but Might Not Be for Deck-Building

Swipe the Card to Send It to Your Trade Partner
Trading can be useful if you are aiming to complete Themed Collections but it may not be the most practical way to build decks.

While trading can help with collecting missing cards, you will need to exchange a lot of duplicates to afford the cost of 500 Trade Tokens for an ex card, which are the highlight cards of most decks.

You will need to open a lot of packs to obtain cards regardless, so a more guaranteed way of getting cards would be through pack points.
