That seems like a ridiculous amount of the same perfect card (the last 5 have all been this card). I'm no game dev, but I wouldn't want someone to see the black/gold background come out, get excited about pulling a perfect, and then get massively disappointed when it's the same card you've already pulled multiple times before.


I get this is a first world problem, its just really frustrating.

**Edit** Within minutes of posting this I got another one... WTF.
Yes, this is a first world problem.

Secondly, though, the problem is maths. There are very few (like, ten or fewer) live perfect cards, and you pull a live card with a 70% chance. So you may have up to a 7-10% chance of drawing the same live card consecutive times. This may not sound like much, but is big enough to snowball into such a chain for one player.
