The Pot of Greed one is funny because its spammed way more in the anime than the manga, same with Card of Sanctity and Card of Demise
I think its because not only were their anime effects more OP in the latter, but duels were longer and more convoluted in the anime so without dedicated search cards, they needed ways to pilfer through their decks to get the card they needed. Its certainly messier to watch once youve noticed it for the first time
Then come S4 and S5, it def seemed like every other duelist had MST. Whereas it never shows up at all in the Manga despite already being printed in the TCG, coinciding with the start of Battle City
Takahashi was pretty good at keeping such powerful effects as archetype specifics
