Why twice? Do you not trust the "randomize" function of Lackey?


The first shuffle in Lackey is beyond poor. I'm not sure if the developer has tested it with decks containing multiple copies of the same card, but it clumps on a level rarely seen in real life. Shuffling multiple times seems to mitigate this...

Because "in real life" you don't really shuffle is another option. ;)

Seriously, people take a randomly shuffled deck for a not random deck about 100% of the time. It's hardwired in our brain. Statistics, and ONLY statistics are able to see what is random and what is not.

If its anything like JOL-Shuffle it will manage to completely screw you over because it can... no matter how you shuffle it or don't!!

Yes, i agree; now, Lackey shuffles automatically the decks before the game, but it's beyond poor; and before the 'shuffling fix', it was worse.
In games with 'big' decks, it is more problematic, you have to shuffle more.

Now, you can shuffle after using some function that affects the game, per example after drawing the crypt or what said Ke.(revealing to none and shuffle).
