While running 20 lands, the probability of receiving an opening hand of 0 lands is approximately 5 percent. However, last week, no joke, no lie, I mulliganed in half of my games (50 percent rate in my games played) due to having a 0-land opener. This hurt the most particularly in my final match vs Kuma, where, unbeknownst to me, I was playing Fireblast and Price of Progress for the last time and could have at least given the cards one final hurrah but alas, multiple mulligans made victory nigh unachieveable, though very close. (not that I drew them anyway either. No PoP at all in 3 games).
I dream of the day where I get blessed by the RNG gods. For example, something like combo'ing off an opponent in game 3, with 5 different cards, with little to no card filtering, one of the cards even being a 2-of and not even a 4-of, with all this in the top quarter of my deck (and apparently being blessed with variance to a degree where this unusually fortunate occurrence neither fazes me nor enters my memory bank). A man can dream! |
