Always? No. Light cards were a MASSIVE PAIN to work with in the first couple of years. Among other things, Gold Dragons used to be worth less XP than any of the other colors. They eventually got normalized when enhance materials got buffed, but when I started playing it was still an issue. There also weren't all that many F2P Light monsters available -- Valkyrie, Zeus, Verche, and Fagan are all I can think of offhand that were any good. Pterados was possible if you got lucky, but getting it wasn't reliable. I think Angelion was actually REM at the time but I'm not sure. Machine Golem was REM.
Things started shifting after the Snow Globes were introduced. We got Sandalphon and Sanctuary Guardian Archangel and DQXQ and suddenly Light Healer teams were, as one player put it, "a big white I Win button". (Still a pain to get leveled up.)
