Jeydra;n10821821 said:Example:
You're playing Moonlight. Opponent plays Black Blood. Two of the possible spawns are terrible for you (Nekurat / Abaya) since they can override your Full Moon. This is potentially enough to win the game if the opponent gets it. But opponent might not get it. Therefore the game's (arguably) decided by RNG.

151Huntsman;n10836611 said:Against those specific decks you can just mulligan Slave Drivers away and not use them. Against engine cards you can still copy paste, lets say Greatsword in 1 turn, and Longship in the next turn, boom you have the same synergy as the opponent and +2 points. So no, it doesnt balance out.
Iuliandrei;n10838501 said:That's not what "balancing out" means, even if you manage to completely avoid playing Slave Drivers in that particular match you would still have hard mulligans and can still prevent you from having an optimal hand. Lastly your example is of a perfect outcome which you can't guarantee, sometimes you may not get a ship, sometimes you get a choice between a priestess, a dimun captain and a corsair and you can't use any of them. This kind of outcome is compensated by that +1, and the number of cases you get subpar outcomes from Slave drivers overshadow the number perfect outcomes you just described.
