IIt’s gotten to where I just cannot believe the game is actually random in BG. Great example. Playing murlocs… First opponent, attacks guy that adds poison. Second oppenent… first 3 attacks all at same poison making guy… 3rd opponent… first attack to kill same guy. Thats 5 attacks in a row on the same critical guy to strat. The odds of? 77777 16,807:1 odds. Yeah. that sounds random.
Don’t take the game seriously. When I’m in BG I just make my goal top 4.

Just seems coincidental to be truly random. Happens all the time with key minion you want to stay alive. Just happened again with the elemental with avenge giving +1/+1. 2 opponents in a row… attacked first. At that point I just closed the game.

gambler fallacy been a thing for a long time
did you read about the people back then who over a century ago thought the ball was supposed to land on red after several times landing on black ( it ended up falling on black ones 26 times in a row )

It’s all a conspiracy to keep you from holding the King of Games title.

Wait, you’re telling us that the attacks in BGs haven’t always been random?

16,807:1 sounds improbable, until you realize that ratio is distributed across all games being played at the same time. then it is more likely, and you were just unlucky to have gotten one of those results.

I don’t think it’s random at all that your board lacked a taunt.

People seem to think that Random means evenly distributed.
My wife wants to buy a Power Ball ticket, & asks me to give her some good numbers. I try to explain that there are no good numbers, that the odds of the numbers being 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 are exactly the same as the odds of the numbers being 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 & 30. One time the Jackpot was split among a hundred people because the winning numbers followed this pattern, & everyone thought therefore, these were good numbers.
The other mistake that people make, like OP, is thinking that these events are all one event instead of separate events. The odds of rolling a six are one in six, regardless of how many times you’ve already rolled a six. The die still only has six sides & the laws of physics don’t change because of past events.
The root cause of all of America’s problems are a failure of education; it gets tiresome trying to explain reality to people who believe in magic.

Your prejudice is showing. Consider zipping that up.
