    Getting frustrated with card draw...

    Lately I've been running into UNREAL rediculous card draws. It's like the game strategically withholds EVERY card I ever need.
    Examples:

    1. 47 card deck in three games I got down to 16 cards before the match ended and did not get a "what big teeth" AT ALL. Have 4 in my deck.

    2. Playing as a rogue, I got ALL support cards for half the deck. No creatures. I have 19 creatures...

    3. I drew 4 shadow fonts in a row, to go with the 3 Mind controls that came before that...

    How does the randomizer work? Cause damn, my games have been BROKEN, where there is no possible chance to win because of card draw. Is it just really really really really bad luck for a few games? I'm bout ready to quit and I'm a HUGE fan of this game.

    EDIT: Another game played, another frustrating lack of cards. This time got down to 22 cards out of 47. Not ONE lone wolf, of which I have 4.

    Got the same probs in the last time.
    Drawing to under 20 cards (42 card deck) with no allie (20 allies) is frustrating.
    But a computer can't make things truly random, programmers are doing their best to make it more realistic.
    (And they are doing a great job!)
    But sometimes randomness can also be very, very, very bad luck.
    So, don't give up, there will be times with better card draw

    ouch that's gotta hurt, however bad draws like that for me are few and far between maybe you're just unlucky or need to change your deck?

    You just have bad luck. By the way, truly random means that bad draws should happen, otherwise it isn't, in fact, random.

    Also, having decks that don't count on one specific card to come generally have less bad draws. I'm not saying they're better, but just have less draws. I found that when I played Gwen, I NEED Rapid Fire and Soul Seeker, and in 1 game in 2, I had one of the two cards not coming in the first 20 cards of my deck. So I lost those games. Then I switched to a more normal hero that doesn't COMPLETELY rely on specific cards to come, and things went a lot better immediately.

    This is why ppl say to use 40 card decks...

    Take your 1st example... you only went through 16 cards... if teeth were in slots 1, 10, 20, 30... (which is not outrageous), you died on card 31. The random part is fine, it's your deck that needs fixing.

    I use a 40 card deck and still get terrible starting hands that cripple me from the start of the game. It forces me to discard vital cards since I have all the copies of it in my starting draw.







    This is not a rare occurrence, is there some kind of shuffle bug or something?

    I think that 40 card deck limitation is too small, and this causing these problems. Usually in tcgs deck limit is 60 cards.

    i think,the 40 card deck limitation is too large,and this causing these problems.
    if one deck is with cards fewer than 40,e.g.30,then players can include fewer cards of a kind into his deck.
    e.g.with 40 cards,he needs 4crippling blow for early occurrence,but with 30 cards,he can include only 3 of them.
    then the 'extremely bad draw' will be only 3 of them in hand in the beginning.
    with fewer crippling blow in hand,he may have an ally or other card instead.
    in many cases,with one more ally or other card can be very different.
    surely,crippling blows are great,but having too much crippling blows is too bad.

    with lower limitation,'extremely bad draw' problem will be alleviated,and a great diversity of hand cards will occur more easily.
