Because currently this is would be the only way to get Victory Cards,
and because everyone seemed paranoid about not being able to pend and I
proposed this as an alternative to writing a bunch of exceptions to the
system. There is no supply faster than the Pend Card supply, which is
already the one people are most worried about. And if you monopolized a
single supply to do this, you'd be creating less products than you
potentially could, which means your trading the benefit you get from
having access to that supply to begin with.
