Random rule is broken, please fix

How is attempting to beat an NPC with a deck full of strong cards using a randomly handicapped deck somehow LESS skillful than beating them with a deck of uber 5's?

Because with many cards there is no longer an optimum play for them. There is nowhere they are either safe, can draw out a flip, or can be used to capture another card.
Therefore it takes less skill because instead of an optimal place to put the cards, it literally doesn't matter anymore.
When there is no difference between placing a card randomly vs not randomly, it means it takes LESS skill to play.

Whatever this was

I don't possess a photographic memory, but I'm pretty sure when the times I beat Lewena, I wasn't throwing my suboptimal cards at a metaphorical dartboard and getting lucky. I'm not even sure what your argument is here. How is there never an optimal play for a card? You utilize your deck to minimize the impact of playing an extremely weak card and attempt to create a situation in which your overall strategy allows for subobtimal cards to still eke out a victory. That's literally the definition of skill.

I guess if people really play like this and just randomly plop down cards with a random deck it at least explains all the salt and general lack of empowerment in these whiny threads.

Snip

I'm saying there are 1* cards that it literally doesn't matter where you place them. I have consistent hands of Sabotendar, Bomb, Spriggan, Dodo, and Sylph. Despite having 89 cards.
You can pretend that where you place them matters, but every card she plays flips one or more of your cards, no matter how you play. If she plays even one card with a weak side facing the wall, and you don't have 2 cards with a 7+ it's literally impossible to win. Even then you'd have to be extremely lucky in the Chaos order for it to matter.
I can't count the times that I could have won only to be screwed by Chaos not letting me play the card that would let me win.

While there are always "optimal" placements for cards, against Lewena the placement can literally not matter. At all.
