In the recent faction challenge I have been playing with decks I haven't tried earlier. For the last 2 days I have been playing with a Morvran reveal deck, and I have noticed that reveal is not that random.
This is very noticable when playing Morvran, since he reveals 3 cards in quick succession (at least on console). Usually 2 of the 3 cards reveals the same 2 cards.
When I noticed this, I recorded the 6 next times I uses Morvrans abilites:
These are 6 consecutive games:
- Ghoul is revealed 3 times, with 15 cards left in the deck:
- Anicent Foglet is revealed 2 times, with 6 cards left in the deck:
- Scoia'tael Neophyte revealed 2 times, with 15 cards left in the deck:
- Hawker Smuggler revealed 2 times, with 15 cards left in the deck:
- Spotter revealed 2 times, with 15 cards left in the deck:
- Lacerate revealed 2 times, with 8 cards left in the deck:

This isn't cherrypicking either. I noticed this phenomenom before I started recording, and it continued after I stopped.
Another thing I have noticed, is that a lot of the time, the same cards are revealed several times in a row. I am not talking bronzes either (which you could have 2 copies of in each deck). The same gold cards are revealed multiple times. This is especially noticable when playing Deithwen Arbalest and Recruit. Both these cards reveal one card from each deck. I find it very strange when the same 2 cards are revealed 3 times in a row.
PS: I wanted to post this in the Gameplay forum, but it seems I am not wothy yet.
