Hi everyone. It will be great to share experience playing in Arena with focus on initial deck strength.
I analysed all my games, and in essence, if I have more bronze cards than gold, the likelihood of reaching the end by winning a total of 9 games is extremely slim. And on the flip, if I am lucky to draw say 20 golds and 6 bronzes, I will probably reach at least game 8. Scatter of deck strength seems to be too wide since the outcome depends so much on your starting deck. A possible solution would be to have a max of 15 gold or 15 bronze cards, e.g. if you already drawn 15 golds you only start drawing bronzes, and vice versa. This would level the pitch a bit.
Another minor observation: cards are picked by random generator, right? There are more bronze cards than gold, yet in most cases I usually have more golds. Does the game favour gold cards more, so that the players have more exciting decks?
