Why am I getting the same starting hand every game?
Playing ranked, getting the same starting hand every game, same exact draw.

What's your deck's composition? Like how many of certain cards do you have? And do you have any skills that could affect your starting hand?

Aside from the above, sheer luck ...whether good or bad.
post your decklist, either with screenshot or text and the skill you use but yea as Theuone said, basicly unlucky if it's a bad hand or lucky if it's a good one. (Balance would affect the chances to get a certain starting hand f.e.)

i have a sort of trick when this happens ,) = i surrender

why surrender ?
#1 _because i feel like game understands that i no more want those cards in my starting hand = force shuffle for next time.
#2 _because even if i wait 2 3 4 5 rounds for nothing without dying...; eeh anyway it's just a waste of time and it never happens to stay alive such long time in pvp _ unless your foe has worst than yours which is impossible once you reach platinium.
#3 _the other thing _ when this happens [to me at least] , it is mainly mostly after 5 6 consecutive duels , like if the game allows me to play 5 games with good hands and if i want to play more i have to endure some awful starting hands .

there are also some mistakes to avoid when you compose your deck :
_no more than 4 spell/traps , if more your spell/traps must count like active soldiers taking part of the battle
_avoid to play more than 20 cards [probability to draw 1 of 3 cards in a statting hand of 4 in a deck of 20 = 28,888888% to have in starting hand ± 1/3 chance , if you play 30 instead of 20 cards your probability reduces to 10% chances]
_if you play more than 20 cards it MUST be because you have cards picking directly from deck = risk of fatigue [specially against hard to kill decks ; ex : paleo decks or any deck making you discard]

(3) The White Stone Of Ancients
(1) Dragon Spirit Of White
(1) Cosmo Brain
(2) D.D. Warrior
(3) Blue Eyes White Dragon
(2) Cards Of Consonance
(1) Silver's Cry
(1) Tribute To The Doomed
(2) Stamping Destruction
(2) Ancient Rules
(1) Cursed Seal Of The Forbidden Spell
(1) Champion's Vigilance


Starting hand:

(2) Cards Of Consonance
(2) Stamping Destruction
(1) Silver's Cry

(Draw 1) D.D. Warrior
(Draw 2) Ancient Rules


This was 3 games in a row.

The next one I will get is:

(2) Blue Eyes White Dragon
(1) Dragon Spirit Of White
(1) Cards Of Consonance

(Draw 1) D.D. Warrior


Very rarely will I start with The White Stone Of Ancients.

Cosmo Brain + Blue Eyes White Dragon is more common than Ancient Rules + Blue Eyes White Dragon.

gotta love when i try to put thunder dragon in my deck for deck thining...only to open with 2 copies every single duel...or even if i get one and go second, my next draw is another thunder dragon...

or using the neos fusion engine , and open with double garne...neos which basically is a game over.

RNG sure is nice

RNG. lol. I thought everybody now knows about the game giving starting hands based on the rarity.

this, opening up with 2 glossy dojos everytime, no RNG in sight :steammocking:

This is much RNG as Switcharoo giving the SAME EXACT CARD out of 24 cards every game .

Or using Magical Mallet and drawing back in the same cards you cycled out every time.
