You can also Card Mod one Elastoid Card for one Steel Pipe. I draw everything. As early as I can, with the exception of Demi from Diablos because none of my people have a high enough Magic stat for that. The only thing that I don't draw 100 of is Scan and Float. Scan I never junction to anything and is easily replenishable, and Float I only ever used in two battles, both in the Tomb of the Unknown King. If you take the time to get 100 Esunas from Wedge and 100 Doubles from Elovert, you can have awesome stats very early in the game. But you shouldn't forget that you can use the GF Abilities to make magic as well. While my characters don't have a high enough Magic stat to draw Demi from Diablos in any reasonable amount of time, very shortly afterward, right after Timber, you can fight Wendigos. They drop Steel Orbs, and if you Card them, their card also Card Mods to a Steel Orb, which I can use Time Mag-RF to make 15 Demis each. Stuff like that, there are usually ways around Drawing, but drawing is usually easier.
