The previous episode and the this one are dedicated to collecting the hardest cards to get from the opponent named Eidolon Master Leyra; the goal was to collect a Bahamut card with 7 arrows (done around 46:50 in this episode), while saving from time to time when the used cards were upgraded, or when valuable cards were obtained like Fenrir card(s) with 5 arrows, Leviathan and Odin card(s) with 6 arrows, and Ark and Alexander card(s) with 7 arrows.
Extra info/corrections/comments on this episode:
* There's a 20 out of 256 chance that Leyra will play a Bahamut card, and there's a 2 out of 100 chance that a card will have one of the 8 combinations of 7 arrows in FF9. The average number of games required to encounter a Bahamut card with 7 arrows is therefore (a little over) 128 (considering that 5 cards are played by the opponents during a game most of the time).
* As a reminer of what appears in the annex file about how I plan to complete the Tetra Master quest, the task of reaching 9999 losses and draws should be done before collecting the 100 cards, because maximizing the two latter statistics requires using dozens of discardable cards in the inventory. However, I decided to got rid of collecting few cards at first, like the 8 cards that must have 7 arrows and few other cards that must have 6 arrows or 5 arrows according to the cards ranking criterion of the challenge (cards of which Bahamut with 7 arrows and Excalibur II with 6 arrows are the hardest to obtain via Tetra Master).
* The cards that must have 7 arrows according to the cards ranking criterion of the challenge are the following (I noticed that I forgot to mention them in first version of the annex file, that has been updated in the meantime): Nova Dragon, Alexander, Invincible, Ark, Alexandria, Lindblum, Bahamut and Genji.
* If we consider my cards ranking criterion of arrows amount allocation as arbitrary and not mandatory, the only mandatory restricitons to observe at the moment regarding cards/Tetra Master is to not discard the Namingway card and to not make the Four-armed Man unavailable.
