I am going to side more with it being a defect, but hard to be definitive
NIFYrebellio didn't specify the playstyle for this deck
Maybe you get to draw cards from a Harmonize, or maybe you sweep the battlefield with a Wrath of God, or maybe you get to spin the Wheel of Misfortune
You can only use one ACE SPEC card and since 2024 have had a nice shiny purple card with custom lettering and art, it really helps them stand out against other cards in your deck
A new way to win a Duel is introduced, where even if a duelist cant damage their opponent with the new themes monster, they can power it up enough to destroy 3 monsters, which automatically ends the Duel
ACE SPEC cards also have their own rarityone which is relatively high, thus contributing to demand for the card
