I agree that would be the general consensus and I would agree longterm, yes, that would be best. But has anybody crunched the numbers? Remember, an episode isn't longterm. Its very short term. You have to do as much damage in the short term as you can.
Here's a simplified example: lets say, hypothetically, Episode Thundercracker is the 5X card for this episode. According to the Legends Wikia, TC's max attack, non-scanned, is 11,331 and his max attack scanned is 20,396.
Using those numbers, lets say you have 2 bot and 2 alt mode TCs, all at level 65. If max attack is 11,331, multiplied by the X5 attack bonus, mulitplied by 4 individual cards, you get a total attack of 226,620.
Now if you scan those cards: max attack 20,396, multiplied by the X5 attack bonus, multiplied by 2 scanned cards, your total is 203,960.
Simple math says that scanning may not be the best in the short term. At least this is my line of thought. I don't claim to be a mathematician though and I could be missing some factors. If anybody has any insight regarding the matter, I'd love the input.
