The random rule is not okay

[Milleus]

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with this.

I like the random rule because it makes things more challenging.
You play the cards you're dealt.

If you're going to complain about random rule, why not complain about chaos rule or order rule?
or how about ascension or plus because it makes your life easier?

Ascension, Plus, Order, and Chaos all affect the NPC, potentially in negative or positive ways. Random, on the other hand, is the only rule that does not affect the NPC negatively in any way whatsoever, because their pool of available cards is usually restricted to 5-8, and most, if not all of them are top grade cards.

Assuming we disregard the fact that NPCs can construct forbidden decks that ignore the star limitations that are imposed on the player, Random is the only rule in the game that affects the player, yet leaves the NPC with a large-to-colossal advantage, depending on the NPC in question.

I have 63 cards, and I can still find myself floundering against the Random rule when they give me all one star cards. That isn't "more challenging", that's "impossible" unless the regional rules have added Plus, and the regional rules never seem to change for the NPCs in question.

I'm sorry.. but if you're finding it impossible to beat a Random NPC, then you're doing it wrong.
Especially when you have 63 cards and unlocked 3 star unlimited.

You quoted the text, but you failed to read it. To reiterate, "when they give me all one star cards. That isn't 'more challenging, that's 'impossible'." Of course I can beat an opponent with the Random rule after I've unlocked 60 cards. I could beat an opponent with the Random rule after I'd unlocked 30 cards. I had Squall Leonhart before I ever had 60 cards. That isn't the point even a little, which you would know if you'd read the post.

I don't know why the Triple Triad White Knights are in such a hurry to try and bash the players pointing out that, yes, the Random rule is wholly unbalanced as it affects the player adversely but leaves the NPC in a far greater position to win the majority of the time. All you'd have to do to rebalance it is add more cards for Random to choose from within the NPC's card list.

or like you said in early post, add in reginal rules for random NPC too.

Oh sorry it was my mistake for not noticing the worst case scenario of 1 star cards, then it becomes impossible to win.
They could probably fix this.

But aside from that..
in "normal" random scenarios, I still like that the Random rule makes it challenging.

Yes.. I know about the rules and and how we have a bigger card pool compared to the NPCs.. but that's part of the challenge, isn't it?
