They’d need to nerf Modies to give you 1 scoop instead of 2, if they wanted it to stay, and that would be a little imbalanced still.

The point of Modies is saving scoops for a price. If you can buy cards for 1 scoop, you can save all the scoops you want and the only punishment you’d have would be lack of luck if you don’t get a Modie on a card draw.

I think the remove of Modies from the pool is for the best, really.
