    Getting a good hand is like pulling teeth in this game.

    I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've gone through mulligans to get a better starting hand just to end up with one type of mana and 5 cards of the opposite mana color in a two color deck.

    I have at least one match per day where I'll draw nothing but mana (mana clumps in a digital card game) 5+ turns in a row. Decks that I've made it pretty far with in Ranked are completely hindered by a bad first hand.

    This card game is older than my parents and it still hasn't figured out a meaningful way of dealing with poor mana distribution. It feels like whatever department is assigned to iterating on the mechanics is completely empty and the employees that are listed in said department don't actually exist. They're just on paper to make the players feel better. It's baffling that, even on my cell phone or PC, an algorithm can't properly sort my cards evenly. You either play mono-color decks or just lose 50% of your games to bad draws. I literally concede 50% of my games to bad first draws and mulligans that seem impossibly poor.

    Here's a great idea: Give me two piles. One for all the cards that do something and another pile for my mana. It'll force the player to make the strategic decision whether to draw more cash to spend on cards or skip mana for a meaningful draw.

    I play Alchemy primarily, so one bad draw or three consecutive turns of drawing absolutely nothing in such a fast-paced format absolutely ruins the experience and makes me utterly despise the game and everyone who likes it. Just let me decide if I need to draw mana and forgo a valuable draw or if I need more firepower next turn. Try it out as a feature in Alchemy only. I don't care. Just try this solution or, frankly, any meaningful solution to mana clumps. Please. For the love of Christ. Do. Anything.

    P.S. I stopped writing this, played one game and immediately got a mana clump. Right after complaining. Thanks.
