Well if you can’t auto-equip shields then the entire focus of domination would change dramatically as most people would try to keep a moderate amount of scoops during the week with a decent number of cards and then do a late yellow/pistachio run and then rapid reload to protect their scoops total with shields.

Even then the top brackets would be just a matter of luck as most of the leaders have to endure dozens of blasting cards in the final minutes of the round.

I’m not opposed to a card limit and/or cooldown between cards being played but I don’t think that it changes the fact that several people are able to earn between 200-500 scoops in a given week primarily fueled by vanilla.
