Expert battles aren't done well
Expert battles are so infuriating, skewing luck so it favours your opponent and doesn't favour you, and giving the AI all the cards it needs as quickly as possible doesn't make an "expert" AI it just makes for an unsatisfying experience. All it really shows is how the people behind coding the AI aren't good enough to make the AI actually skilled at the game so they just cheese it by giving it better luck, which in turn just makes the whole thing less fun since it doesn't feel like you lost due to a mistake or gap in skill or something you can learn from it just feels like "damn sucks to be you try be luckier next time." obviously I know luck is a factor in the game but making it so obviously skewed doesn't make me want to beat the battles more than once just for the hourglasses.

Indeed, devs can't make the AI good enough, so they give it big advantages, otherwise it'd be too easy to win... this kind of artificial difficulty is a pretty common practice in most games tho.
