no pillars at game start [not a bug]

[zzz124]

After hundreds of games played since the "at least 1 starting pillar" fix, I've had a game where I had *no* pillars in my starting hand. (playing vs Level 5 AI)

There are 25 or 28 or so pillars in my 60-card deck.

Did not get my first pillar until turn 7, by which time the game was pretty much lost.

Preceding and following games are all fine, so this is a rare/intermittent bug.

There is no "at least 1 starting pillar" fix.
There is a mulligan-function that will draw automatically again a hand of 7 cards if you don´t have any zero cost cards in the first hand. If there are no zero cost cards in the second hand, nothing else will happen.
It´s just bad luck.

This is not a bug.  The auto-mulligan system is designed to reshuffle your deck and redeal your hand if you don't draw a card with 0 cost once.  If by the second time you do not draw a card with 0 cost, then it's basically too bad.  Now, the chances of this occurring with this deck are extremely small (0.0076% probability with 28 cards), but it is not impossible, nor is it a bug.

Once I had 35 card deck and 9 quantum pillars in it.
14 Cards left in my deck no quantum pillars
