While it's definitely bad luck, it's not nearly as bad as you might think... the odds on the perfect cards are incredibly low. With 500 packs, the average is 2.5 so you expect two or three. The other way to look at it is that the average is 200 packs opened for each perfect.

I've had three perfects in just over 300 packs opened, which definitely qualifies as good luck. Between the two of us, though, we've hit very close to the average. (I'm sure that's small comfort to the guy that ended up on the bad luck side of average.) Really, I'm surprised that they didn't put in any code to mitigate the pure RNG.
