Even if you draw an Unmaskening first, you can still play a Fortran
later and pull the other Unmaskening out of your deck and immediately
discard it. Yeah, again, an MPA (but if it is the only master in your
hand, how does it hurt you to play it?), but still, generally much
better then just having 3 of the same event in your deck.

3x Unmaskening means a reasonable chance of seeing an Unmaskening, and
then having 2 cards you need to discard.

2x Unmaskeing and a Fortran Library means the exact same chance of
seeing an Unmaskening, but you also have the ability to swap an MPA for
getting the other two cards (effectively) out of your deck without
having to use discard actions.

fair enough. However, I was coming at it from a wacky zany kind of angle
where you might actually want to play a useful master card every turn.
