[Tales of Tribute] - Fix Pounce and Profit / Grand Larceny

I just got the pleasure of sitting through another game where the opponent won the Pounce and Profit lottery on their first turn. It's not even that much of a lottery since it is a usual occurrence. They then purchase Hagraven on their turn 4 which was, again, usual. They then began to use the Patron button, you know which one, because they had already solved all game problems by turn 4 and had a deterministic win at that point.
Pounce and Grand being so obnoxiously imbalanced is a dirty mark.
It's a stain. A stain on Tales of Tribute. A stain on the abilities of the designers for Tales of Tribute. I have seen your credentials and can say for certain that you are better than this. You are too good to continue to allow these cards to persist in their current state. And if you think that they are okay in any context whether it be competitive, casual, or even PVE, you are just mistaken. We all make mistakes. You can fix this one.
Please, for the love of all that is good, do what needs to be done.
And there are other balance issues too, but this is just such a glaringly obvious one. Some play patterns should just never happen. 9 cost card purchases on turn 3/4 is one of those things. Please work on your RNG seeding too. It's a bad omen that there is still a 1st/2nd player repeat issue and Tavern seeding issue.
