Well okay, it sounds like we had it good with sancs on purple heroes in the past. Sancs now vary depending on the target which makes sense. Pre-update there were lots of people running around with half angel V purple heroes that had great sancs and Saint II or III gold heroes (especially new servers) because it was so much harder to get gold cards. For example, people had no use for their newly recruited Dawn because they had a sanc'ed up Valla.
