This has happened more than once.  How the hell?  My 4 titans are the in the last 5 cards of my deck.


BTW, i won the match.  Gravity pull FTW.

How many Cards in your deck to begin with?
What are the deck contents?

simple deduction should give you an answer.  8)

4 titans in a deck.
minimum deck size is 30

drawing X amount till 5 left in deck and still no titans= Bad odds.
if there were more than 30 cards....
drawing X amount till 5 left in deck and still no titans= badder odds.

either way, crazy bad odds to not have drawn a titan for so long.

You dont know my titan deck? for shame.

Then the odds are (4C4 * 27C1) / 31C5 = 1*27/ 169911 = ~0,000159 = 0,0159%. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Fisher-Yates shuffle doesn't change those odds. That means this should happen one game out of 6293 on average. It would appear you got lucky. (Remember: people win the lottery all the time.)
