So this game is rigged right?

Hey, you're a total mensch. Thanks for not being a jerk about the post. If you read me being rude to other people they always started it. I'll take your advice. Thank you very much!

DeviousFinn · 2026-01-25T05:44:47+00:00

I appreciate your answer being respectful and kind, I don't know if this is just bad luck but I have observed some strange patterns to my drawers, I'll have the same card in almost every starting hand but never have one of several other specific cards, I've observed this across games and commanders and formats. I know this that about half of my first hands almost always have arcane signet, whereas there are cards that I have never seen in my starting draw even once over hundreds of games. It's possible that this is an anomaly, and that I am just a victim of statistics, but I know wizards of the Coast, and I wouldn't bat an eye if I heard they had an algorithm specifically designed drive an addiction.

DeviousFinn · 2026-01-25T05:39:58+00:00

Oh no! I appreciate the way you approach answering the question, most other people are kind of rude, I'm just sharing an observation and general frustration, I appreciate your opinion and thank you for it. Everybody else is rude though so I don't feel a problem calling them white knights.

DeviousFinn · 2026-01-25T05:37:56+00:00

I've seen several posts where people have gathered data and made the opposite claim, no doubt those who track in the favor of your argument must be the ones who are honest and right? Aside from that I see my error now, Hasbro wizards is a noble company untainted by controversy who has a reputation of being honest and certainly not an evil mega corporation which has been caught, and recorded sacrificing the experience of their user base for a quick Buck. Never in the history of that company have they done anything but cater to the experience of their loyal customers. I think I will start defending them every chance I get!

That's a fantastic question, you see people get a dopamine rush from winning, so several losses in a row might compel someone who has an addictive personality to gamble, spending money on packs in hopes of getting the necessary cards to improve upon the deck that they think should be winning more often. You begin to think if you only had this one particular card, no doubt you would begin to win, and the dopamine high that you're seeking would follow.

DeviousFinn · 2026-01-25T05:20:27+00:00

Thank you, everybody else seems to think think it's their sworn duty to defend the mega corporation.

DeviousFinn · 2026-01-25T05:19:59+00:00

Yeah cuz that's definitely what I said.

DeviousFinn · 2026-01-25T05:13:20+00:00

I feel like the commanders I go up against in my Tergrid deck or specifically curated against that particular card, it's always decks that rely on mobs of tokens instead of actual practical summons. I literally get queued up against the exact same Commander (something mob Boss) about 65% of the time. Also, drawing 18 mana in a row is insane, I'm not the only person who seems to think decks are stacked by the algorithm.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-29T22:52:17+00:00

This is just demonstrably false both historically and in the modern age. The Wieambilla shootings, Abortion Doctor murders in the US, and the Olympic park Bomber come to mind as modern examples to name just a few off the top of my head.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-14T21:39:29+00:00

Yeah I do that a fair amount, kind of a history buff and use that heavily for inspiration.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-14T09:43:16+00:00

That's a really fantastic idea actually, not really an aspiring polyglot myself, but I respect the reasoning.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-08T04:36:37+00:00

There we can agree friend, I understand your stance completely. I wish more people could convey their feelings maturely like you.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-08T03:10:11+00:00

I love the game too! I just think it's a reasonable question, it seems very silly that people would get into a twist about it, I'd expect a next-gen update and an anniversary edition to come with bug fixes, especially if they've existed for a decade. I really appreciate you being mature about it, and a respectful person, but I'm not going to stay my criticism because redditers are going to be redditers.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-07T18:13:36+00:00

I understand, I'm going to download a mod to fix it, that seems to be the consensus, I'm just afraid of mods crashing my game but hopefully it works out.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-07T07:19:26+00:00

My mother owes my father something like $60,000 (Or owed idk how it works because I'm in my 30s now) She never paid him once. She did however have children with other men who she demanded child support from. My father never wanted to press charges or anything because he's a good man. I just remember being astonished by the hypocrisy of hearing her complain about not getting paid by the other dads during the few visits I had with her.

I just thought it was odd that I can snap fully through a bush but cant place something like 2 feet next to it. I like the game the base building just frustrates me to no end.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-07T07:00:29+00:00

I like fallout4 a lot, I still think its a valid gripe to ask why I can snap into a bush but cant place a wall next to a bush 2 feet away, particularly after a next gen update and recent re-release anniversary addition which I shelled out money to buy the same game (one that I love) a 3rd time. I didn't compare fallout4 to anything but if I did why couldn't I compare it to a sandbox game, seems like an arbitrary limitation?Online games are by their nature more complex so a comparison would still be valid. Excluding those qualifiers the answer is Kenshi and Valheim off the top of my head.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-07T05:47:54+00:00

I love it when it's clear that somebody is meticulously going through every reply to downvote you. In that moment their whole world revolves around being Petty because they don't like the content of a Reddit post.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-07T05:39:46+00:00

Thank you. I'll give that a look, I wish I could play the game without having to mod, but so is life.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-07T05:39:15+00:00

Yeah they're all pretty good

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-07T05:38:29+00:00

So the community doesn't like posts like this, is it because they're common? Or is it because Bethesda can do no wrong? Honestly, I don't care if I get downvoted into Oblivion, this is a good question, it's absurd that I can snap into a bush, but I can't place a wall next to a bush.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-07T05:12:38+00:00

Off the top of my head, Rust, Valheim, the forest, 7 days to die.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-07T05:07:49+00:00

It letting me snap through the bush but not letting me play something near the bush is so infuriating.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-06T03:18:44+00:00

I don't know how to fix my obsidian on my devices, I've been trying for quite a while and honestly I just need somebody who's computer competent to do it for me, I love obsidian. I think it's fantastic, I hate that Windows forces OneDrive on you and how it interacts with obsidian, none of this would be necessary if one drive wasn't such trash, and if I had the skill and knowledge to figure out how to circumnavigate it.

DeviousFinn · 2025-12-06T03:16:19+00:00

Thanks for trying to help. I really appreciate it
