One thing I've seem to notice a lot is that my duplicate cards seem to want to converge in my deck. Like I play 4 copies of several PT. And I notice that often times when it's draw phase I either draw 2 of the same PT or draw one one turn then another on the next turn.

I can't figure out WHY this keeps happening. I mean at the end of the game I take each copy and put them in different places in my deck in hopes of better randomizing my deck. I then shuffle my deck at least 7+ times Riffle like to try and ensure good randomization but I still pull 2 of same PT that are like right next to each other over 50% of the time.

I mean it's one thing if I pull one say at the start of game then another like 3-4 turns later. But pulling them on the same turn or turns back to back. I've even pile suffled my deck a few times with 7 piles yet it still happens to me all the time. Is this a common thing or is it just me?

You know, alot of the time i have the same luck with characters. I think the point to construction is to load four copies of the cards you need to see every game and then it isn't so bad when you drop them. What PT are you drawing that are specifically giving you heart burn? If they are not useful all the time take a couple out. If they are the ones you need count yoruself lucky. I just think most of the time there is someone other than me who doesn't want to see me succeed:noid:

Well let's see. Prime Directive is one that comes out in doubles. It's a really nice card and has help me win a few games but it's a late game card(5) and seem to pull on turn 1-3 in pairs. Another is Reconstruction program. Which is also REALLY helpful but not till it gets a lil later in game to pull back 3 guys. I've tried lowering these and some others to like 3 in my deck instead of 4 but I then seem to hardly ever pull them :(

Some cards that I do get 2 of I don't mind like Cover Fire, Search & Destroy, Burn Rubber, WILD SENTINEL!! HEH. Course that last ones not a PT and I got a LOT of them in the deck.

It just seems odd. How often I get double PT pulls though.

PS: I know some people say Prime Directive isn't that good cause it 5 cost and you have to have all your opp stun to use it but I've found it to be really helpful especially against stall decks like DOOM who I face a LOT. Cause the extra cards help me boost Bastion and fight out with either Sub-Mariner or the 8 Dr. Doom.

Probably just perspective. If you draw a Flying Kick on turn one, then another on turn two, you probably don't notice, because you probably don't mind. If the same thing happens with Savage Beatdown, you start wishing that it was a Flying Kick or Acrobatic Dodge, and you notice it more. I know that I do.

Do a PILE shuffle with 7 or 8 piles.

Heh, I have the exact same luck, but only with specific cards that hate me. Example, 3x Reed Richards, 3x Stretch, I get them at about the pace when you expect to. One here, the other one there, etc. BUT, 4x Antarctic Research Base on the other hand, I either get 3 of them in my first 8 cards, or I don't see any the entire game (barring any search cards). Just accept like did, that some of your cards just don't like you.
