Re:I analyzed shuffling in a million games of MtG Arena by jna_sh on Sunday January 15, 2023 @07:30AM (#34388919)
The theory I’ve always heard about why the shuffler might be biased is that they’re trying to reduce land flood/screw. Drawing too few or too many lands is a commonly cited cause of frustration with players and if you’re reasonably assuming Arena wants to do all the usual monetised-game things of increasing playtime and MAU whatnot, this conclusion seems one of the first people come to.
