So It's pretty clear Master Duel is manipulating card draw, and they refuse to be transparent about it.

I run modified dragonmaids and Live Spright, both decks are near 1/3 starter cards, and up until this month I have had almost no problems bricking. Sure maybe 1 in 8 games I had to scoop because of no starters, but that's just rng. Right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!?
Now during the Duelist Cup, with BOTH decks, I LITERALLY haven't drawn a starting hand in 3 days of active play.
I am not exaggerating, I have had ZERO playable hands in the last 30+ games.
Writing Konami on this has never helped, they always send an automated response.

Why is Steam ok with a microtransaction game that manipulates outcomes?

[Chaos 混沌 カオス]

This is actually getting annoying.

Update: 35 games ZERO starting hands.

You are either lying or your deck building skills are atrocious. That is just mathematically improbable.

should of bought more gem bundles tbh

Ya so I just did the math, and the calculator cannot even fully display how improbable those odds are, but I will try my best. We are looking at a 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000598537% Chance of you not getting a single starter in 30 hands when 1/3 of your deck is supposedly starters, the Calculator displays 5.98537e-73

still not 0%

R.I.G.G.E.D.

[Red Painted Elk]

YES THAT'S WHY I AM SAYING IT IS MANIPULATED!

Update 39 games no starter, the best I got was 5 games ago one dragonmaid nurse, no Ernus to cover but at least I got one creature out before they otkd me.

If you spend a single cent on this game you are a fool

Send deck list so we can pull hands. Because I'm rather inclined to not believe this.

It works fine in 5 card draw simulation just not in any matches

Here you go:

And now that's 41 games no starters. Uninstalled.

Alright so right off the bat that list isn't very good, but regardless I'm still going to try it. I am a man of Science after all.

You didn't do squat, show your work.

YGO:MD is notorious for its poor drawing algorithm. I have countless replays I can share that have no rhyme or reason as to why my opponents draw a winning hand 8/10 times.

If you're a 'man of science', then you must obviously agree that there's no such thing as a coincidence.

I'm really not interested in your opinion on my strategy, just on whether or not I can field a single starter, and I think you asked to see my deck just to harass me on that count so enjoy your block.
