Community has known and disliked this since Triple Triad came out.
They gave some nerfs to the old NPC decks to make up for the fact that you'll usually pull 2 or 3 1star cards per match.
Other than that devs don't seem to care much.
However the new Triple Triad NPCs in expansion areas still crush you with 2 or 3 5star cards against your 2 or 3 1star cards.
Perhaps they will be nerfed too in a future patch.

I'd probably play Triple Triad every single day if the Random rule didn't exist.
