    Random rule is broken, please fix

    Choosing three 1* cards, with a 2* and 3* = instant loss, more times than I can count, changing a game of skill and chance into constant chance of failure.

    Random, in and of itself, breaks the game, making it unplayable. Getting rid of it would be fore the better, but another method to fixing it could be to change rarity of cards it picks. If I got 60 cards, pull from 3* and 4*, small chance of 2*, even smaller chance of 5*. No 3-4 1* cards, please.

    Between Order, Chaos and Random, it makes a fun game involve both no skill, and no fun.

    Getting more, better cards does help, but it's still a bad system. For example, if I've already got 60 cards, I have absolutely no reason to collect any more 1 star cards. All collecting new low cards does is make my odds of getting bad cards in Random higher. When a card game is punishing you for collecting new cards, the system is broken.

    Do you understand what the word random means?

    I have almost 100 cards and I still get a full hand of 1 and 2 stars at least 60-70% of the time.

    Any NPC atm that has random as a rule has more luck than skilled involved.

    that means that you still miss about 20 3 to 5 star cards

    I've 119 cards and nearly always get full 2 to 5 star hands

    Obviously. The point is that SE made a system where collecting cards can actually hurt you, and that is a fundamentally flawed, unfun system that needs to be overhauled.

    I don't care for TT at all but I think it'd be interesting if the random rule bypassed the normal limitations on rare cards.

    I like this idea. It would definetly make it more exciting to play with random because then you actually have a chance for a good hand. Right now playing with random you can either be guaranteed to lose or have a hand thats not entirely terrible.

    Although I did notice the opponents AI tends to drop if you have a bad hand. I notice a lot of dumb moves when I have 2 or more 1 stars. Even from difficult opponents.

    That's called "the card bait" NPCs will more or less always try and get your cards and the lower your card's numbers are, the higher the chances are that the NPC will do something stupid and leave their high card open for the taking because of it. Helps a lot especially if you know their deck and which is their common trump card. That's the tactics I've used against many NPCs and gotten my Odin card for example, or baited Laniaitte to ruin her "plus" combos for making her "waste" the plus-trigger card(s).
