Where is the list of 2* champs available in the crystals?

I'm in some sort of RNG rut... The rut is in every level of characters (2*, 3*, and 4*)... For a while, I had every champ with the exception of a couple and while I was building my roster, I would get the occasional new 3* or 4* champ and get something to rank up for SA. It then seemed like my roster building just stopped. I wasn't pulling the newly released champs with any sort of frequency even in 3* versions. I would just keep pulling champs from the older champ sets and racking up max signature ability crystals.
For a long time, I thought "Hey! Duping up means I'm getting more shots at pulling different champs." That's a good theory, but when you've pulled your 4th White Mags or 4th Spider Gwen and have those two champs at level 80... what is their use?
But the spot where I seem to see the most weird RNG luck is in the 2* crystals. I know there are certain champs whose 2* versions don't exist in the crystal, but there are a lot of newer champs that appear to be in crystals as 2*s that even with the tons of shard crystals opened, still elude me.
As higher end content becomes harder (it seems Chapter 3 epic difficulty would take a roster of R4 5* champs to handle it without using tons of items), even getting 4* versions of god tier champs don't alleviate this. It seems that my contingent of older 4* champs hit like pillows against the 6* champs in Chapter 3 of epic.
It's just weird to not eventually pull the 2* or 3* versions of champs to see if I even want to spend time grinding arena for them. That always seemed to be the progression method of old: Get 3* champ, use them in arena to see how much you like them, if they're great, grind 4* arena for them. My current RNG luck doesn't even get me that...

Spider-Man Symbiote, Spidey-Miles, Spider-Gwen, Venom, Venompool, Carnage, Electro, and Agent Venom for example were 2* exclusives in the Spider-verse crystals for Spider-Man Homecoming quests. Doc Ock and Green Goblin got added for a redo of the crystal they did earlier in the year for reasons. I think they also added Sparky and Vulture.
A bunch of the X-Men are 2* exclusives in an X-Men crystal given away in March; these included Phoenix, Beast, Archangel, X23, Iceman, Cyke Blue, Nightcrawler, Rogue and Gambit.
The cinematic crystals from August for the Gwenpool Goes to the Movies quests were loaded with 2* exclusives of Wasp, Killmonger, Yondu, Loki, Mordo, Iron Patriot and a couple of others.
X23 and OML also appeared in an exclusive Logan crystal in March 2017 for the release of Logan alongside Wolverine.
Sparky as a 2* was a gift for the release of Spider-Man Homecoming; Black Panther (Civil War) was a similar gift for the BP movie; a 2* Thor (Ragnarok) for Thor: Ragnarok; Cable for Deadpool 2.
Hela, Angela and a load of female characters not normally at 2* were in the International Women's Day 'Women of Power' crystals in February.
2*s of Ghost Rider, Green Goblin, Venom, Venompool and other monstrous characters were in a Google Play exclusive crystal last October for Halloween.
