I'll have to agree with you too on this. Best bet would be to save wild cards until a few days before the event, just in case any new card is added to the game that tops above current best cards.
Currently best cards are:
- Super Rare
- Event-Only:
- Chikusa Uno (12,700)
- Miyu Kisaki (11,830)
- F2P:
- Hiyori Katagiri (11,000)
- Rare
- F2P:
- Marie Mochizuki (7,270)
- Airu Shirayuki (7,080)
- Noriko Takase (6,410)
- Normal
- F2P:
- Riza Shimozono (2,860)
- Ouka Komai (2,700)
- Shuri Kanno (2,370)

The main reason those numbers seem disproportionate to me is that a max lvl normal card could easily defeat a Lvl50 SR, just from that matchup bonus.
I'll recheck that wiki and see.
Indeed, the values posted in the wiki state the matchup bonus is 3x...
That actually means a lvl maxed card can easily defeat any matchup lvl maxed card one rarity tier up, and any lvl maxed normal can defeat any matchup lvl50~60 SR card.
That's a huge advantage given to matchups.

Currently, minimum requirements for having any chance are:
- Against all Super Rare deck
- Lvl100:
- 3,944: No N card. Any midleveled R. Any lowleveled SR card
- 3,667: No N card. Any midleveled R or SR card
- 4,234: No N card. Any midleveled R or SR card
- Lvl75:
- 2,958: No N card. Any midleveled R or SR card
- 2,750: Lvl90 Riza Shimozono. Any midleveled R or SR card
- 3,175: No N card. Any midleveled R or SR card
- Lvl50:
- 1,972: Any high leveled N card. Any midleveled R card. Any low leveled SR card
- 1,834: Any high leveled N card. Any midleveled R card. Any low leveled SR card
- 2,117: Any high leveled N card. Any midleveled R card. Any low leveled SR card
- Against all Rare deck
- Any N matchup card will work for evenly matched lvls.
- Any R/SR matchup card will work, regardless of lvl.
- Against all Normal deck
- Any matchup card will work, regardless of lvl.
My SED tables are quite full of holes, so I can't calculate exact thresholds for R mid+ levels, or most SRs.
