Which version of Triple Triad do you prefer?

Oh god I hate Random so much, it's so stacked in the NPC's favor.

Which version do I like more? Well, I like both. If I didn't like the original I wouldn't play this one.

To be fair, that guy drops the Hildy card, which is one of the stronger 5 stars. So he is allowed to be tough.
My problem is that npc's who drop 2 stars are playing with decks that have 1-2 2 stars, 2-3 3 stars, and 1 4 star.
Lets see, between 1 and 2 stars, there are 37 cards.
Some of them, like Frixio from Marcette, or Succubus from Piralnaut, are nigh unobtainable, because those 2 NPC's have decks that could overpower King's WITHOUT the Plus rule. These are 2 star cards, but to get them you have to beat decks that are almost as strong as Hab's???
Or the Indolent Imperial, same thing, straight 3 stars, drops a 2 star card.

Is "logical tuning" THAT unreasonable?
Is it unreasonable to say that IF something drops a 2 star card, its' deck should basically be split into 1 3 star, 2-3 2 star, and 1-2 1 star?
Similarly, would it be asking too much to let us unlock 2 star cards once we have 20 cards instead of 30? There are 20 1 star cards, doesnt it make sense that once you have "all of them" that you can unlock 2 star?
Or does SE really believe that playing for hours against the same NPC with a 5% win rate, due to your deck restrictions and the NPC having a MUCH stronger deck, all in the hopes of getting that 1 card THAT YOU ONLY NEED TO RAISE A COUNTER TO 30!!! is fun?

Another example, Ourdillic in Coerthas.
Shiva - 4 star
Ultima Weapon - 4 star
Urianger - 3 star
Behemoth - 3 star
Biggs/Wedge -2 star

He drops Blue Dragon, a 2 star card.
He has 1 2 star card in his deck.
In fact, aside from us having a 5 star card, his deck is stronger, in having 2 4 stars, than our decks CAN EVER BE.

So note, Hab... His deck is jacked as all hell. But he drops a very strong 5 star card. So this is reasonable.
Ourdillic... His deck is stronger than our decks are allowed to be by the game. He drops a mediocre 2 star card.

Anyone else see a problem here?

FF14 is quite fun to play but the only issue I have is that NPCs can build their own decks to defy the rare card limit we players are limited by so most of the time we face off against NPCs with full deck of rare cards.
