Cards with even stats are like jack of all trades, but masters of none. Some of these cards, like the Gladiator, King Cobra, and Komodo Dragon, could potentially be used because their stat increase per level continue increasing instead of decreasing like many other cards. Cards like the Skateboarder which stat increase per level continue to decrease will most likely never reach 4000/4000 at level 40+ making it hardly worth the investment. Using only level 1 N cards, it costs at least 35,800 tokens to level a rare card to level 16 and it costs at least 54,400 tokens to level a rare+ card to level 16. That increases to 65,700 tokens to level a rare card to level 18 and 124,400 tokens to level a rare+ card to level 18. Afterward level 18, the difference to level a rare and rare+ card is only 4000 tokens per level.

Other cards with fixed stat increases per level like the Cheetah could be useful if they do not have a stat maximum like the Horned Lizard.

Only time will tell since we don't know the max stats for these cards, we won't know the true potential until people level these cards up to higher levels (30-40).
