Random Number Generator

Ok so I know it is probably just me, and confirmation bias, but it definitely seems like there is something off about the random number generator in this game.  I seem to get a lot of games where I will draw all 6 of a card within the first few turns as well as a lot of games where I don't draw any.   Almost the inverse of the expected bell curve actually.  Anyone else notice something similar?

Stats? A lot of people think this as well, but it's how us humans are wired. We remember the more memorable things as opposed to the regular ones, thus they all stand out more making it look like there is more of them. Keep a tally of the times when you get an irregular seeming draw, and when you get a fairly normal draw. I'd bet they'd be pretty even.

i was watching a show a while back and it said that random number generators are directly affected by our thoughts, but minutely.

i first noticed a trend running aether stall.  most of the time, i would either be getting so many aether shields i had to discard because my hand was filling up, or i wouldnt even draw 1.  it seems like copies of cards when you have six stick together, not to the point of drawin them all in a row, buch such that all 6 are in a band of 10 cards.  i tried doing testing in the trainer, but i used pillars which probably wasnt the best idea.  ill try to do a more rigorous test, and i guess it will probably prove me wrong.

sounds like the "a watched pot never boils" phenomenon.

If you take notes on the order that each card came up with the same deck in a sample of 50+ games and prove that the RNG is, in fact, screwy, then I'll believe you.  Otherwise, it is just like hax shields.  Everyone says the shield is hax because it blocks all damage, and yet if you watch every time ist played closely, it does average out to the right percentage.

Definitely. I'll often think "Please give me a deflag," and the RNG reads my thoughts and gives me the card I want. I have telepathic conversations with the RNG every day. Sometimes the RNG sends thoughts to my brain, saying "Your welcome" or "What's up, Root?"

@Root I do that with the RNG, my cat, the beanbag that I prefer over my bed, and pretty much anything that I can put a personality to. They're very good listeners.
