I definitely feel like I draw my opponent’s plagues way more often than they draw mine. I stopped running any kind of plague deck long ago for that very reason. I only recently decided to play a plague deck again and had that exact same experience.
Anyone else feel like they experienced this same thing?
I auto-concede whenever I face Plague DK in Wild.
I never take my opponent’s plagues seriously and 9/10 times they had an insignificant impact on the game
While this is certainly dependent on what you are playing, but outside of something looking to draw the entire deck or play to fatigue, you’re correct.
The best counter to plagues is just kiling the DK, which is what happens most of the time.
No. I played hundreds of games with plague dk a couple months ago. Lots of times I would play a plague card on my first turn and it would be on top of the opponent’s deck. I’ve had them draw both plagues I put in the turn after I put them in. I’ve also had games where I had 30 plagues in their deck and lost. It’s all rng and looking for patterns is silly.
Everyone does. It’s called “negativity bias” (maybe there are more biases at play here, though, but I’m unsure) → people seem to notice and remember mostly the negatives, rather than positives, because we’ve been programmed like that to increase our chance of survival (threat detection)
The rest of the effect is probably a combination of narcissism and conspiracy theories xDD
Don’t give in to the dark side. We actually have science now and it’s rocking. You know you’re not actually drawing more plagues than your opponents ON AVERAGE.
Could it happen for a couple of games? Sure. I’ve had losing streaks last for weeks with no end, but afterwards, you bet I’m gonna be highrolling a bunch as well
“Teehee, that tickles.”
