Hello,

I would like to report a very unusual land draw pattern that I experienced in two Arena Direct – The Hobbit games on the same day.

In both games, I started with exactly 3 lands in my opening hand. Despite this, I experienced an extreme lack of lands during the games, ending up around 9 lands behind the expected amount of draws. In one of the games, for example, I only had access to a very limited number of lands while the game progressed.

I understand that variance is a normal part of Magic, and I am not complaining about simply having a bad game. However, experiencing such an extreme land deficit in two separate games on the same day, despite starting both games with 3 lands in hand, feels highly unusual.

Considering the amount of money invested in these events, I would really appreciate it if you could review the game logs and verify that the shuffling and card distribution worked correctly in these matches.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.
