I'm checking this section of the forum for the first time because i had the same feeling. Either i get no pillars, either i get them all in the first 10 cards. Either i get all my supernova in the 10 top, either i get none etc...
My win rate against FG went from 70% to 20%

I first thought it was just how I, like anyone else, remember bad luck more than good luck. But my win percentage against FGs has halved and I am losing to gods I almost never lost to before. Probably just my weak mind, but there is possibly some relation to the RNG and update.

EDIT: Today at the oracle? 10 electrum, unknown FG, spark pet, no card.
Somehow still around, somewhat

With the amount of complaints, I think it's clear that something is wrong.  Zanz, can you fix this quickly so we can get back to playing normally?

But seriously... I have had some very good draws and some terrible draws the past couple of days. I don't see anything wrong, really. It's generally a good idea to clear your cache with each update anyway. Then again, my sample size is most likely much lower than the rest of you no-lifers ;) (jk...)

Looks like its occurring very frequently. I think we can nicely ask zanz to check if he accidentally has changed something about this (looks like it was not intended). The worst part is that now FG that were good match ups are now winning a lot.

Can someone of forum staff talk about this to zanz, please?
I thought for a while you have been joking...

It's obvious you'll have bad draws sometimes in your life (I lost like 10 times in a row with CCYB, and got no cards for like 2 weeks... BEFORE the update, and now I'm OK again).
All pillars happen because of heavy pillar decks (and it happened to me a couple of times... before the update).
The AI's are more intelligent right now, so you'll see some of your strategies are less effective now...

Have you heard about Murphy's* Law? Well, it's based in the fact that we tend to remember (and exagerate) extreme cases, and that extreme "good" stuff happens less regularly than "bad" stuff, since the possible good things are less...

Always remember we are a big community, so we'll always be getting more than 1 person having a bad time... And my last option in any extreme case would be saying that Zanz somehow touched the RNG, since (the way I think it's done) improving it would be like an astronomically unneccessary improvement (like making homemade antimatter**).

*dunno how to spell it :D

**a bit of an exageration...
