I am getting so sick and freaking tired of my win conditions always being at the very bottom of my deck, regardless of which deck I run. Meanwhile, my opponents always seem to the have whatever they need in hand 3 turns in. It’s been like 10 games in a row and my stuff continues to stay at the very very bottom. Doesn’t matter how many cards I draw my good stuff is ALWAYS at the very bottom of the deck. Something is not right about that.
Cuz you don’t pray to RNGesus.

Try more targeted draw
A more serious answer is in the form of a question: how much draw,are you running? If there are tutors for your good cards, they are all the more important.
Of course running more draw may open you to be vulnerable to early pressure, or you give up on ways to disrupt your opponent’s game plans.
They’re not always at the bottom. It can happen for 3-4 games in a row, it can happen more often than not when you have lowrolling streaks, but on average, it’s not the case.
You’re just a victim of a negativity bias (people remembering much more easily the negative things) or confirmation bias (you want some excuse for being stuck in some rank, and you find it in your win cons not getting drawn).
I get it, I really do. It happens to me a lot since I play faster decks and because of that, many more games than average player. But on average, it’s all good, we just don’t remember highrolling because:
a) it’s positive,
b) it’s something we can easily get used to (games just appear much easier and you begin to wonder how it was even possible to be losing in those same ranks before), and
c) on average, games that you win are faster than games that you lose.
Well, at least to me c) is the case. Probably isn’t for everyone, lol. I guess it makes sense that if you play control decks, it’s the opposite for you (wins = longer than defeats)
Selfishness plays tricks on us. A good question always is, “do I ever think “RIGGED!” when I’m the lucky one?”.
Always, Algorithms are, by design doing what they are constructed to do. Conditions are pre-determining more than it should and we all know it. I have never felt this game is random as consistent as you can see the outcomes coming before they happen. I mean it’s easy to know the decks and what they do, and since the meta is dictated by the card design nothing is happening by chance more often than not with this game.
That’s like saying that the stock market is rational. It isn’t, a bunch of goofballs can decide to have diamond hands and wreck a professional investment fund’s short position for little to no reason. In the past, I have literally played Druid not just because it was good, but also because I enjoyed Guff’s character and voice acting. I guess that these creative decisions are, technically, design, but it is impossible for devs to anticipate exactly how popular any deck will be, because of such delightfully irrational factors. And they can’t predict how powerful scissors will be when they have no idea how many people are going to play rock and paper.
Nothing about the development of the meta is predictable, because free will.
This is why most of my wild decks use dredge
Something that very naturally confuses people is that humans are VERY BAD at intuition about how randomness works. E.g. when we think 50 percent chance we think “well one every 2 things in a row will be something or close to that”.
Nope: TRUE randomness does things like EIGHT things in a row being the same but the total of 1000 things being closer to the expected 50%.
1000 is a pretty low number, 10000 mighy be better to use
Perhaps, but people should at least wait for 60 or 80 matches in the context of this game to start getting a sense that starts becoming useful.
Most do the mistake to see 10 matches only and think they know everything about a deck’s behavior.

You don’t have enough good cards in your deck. Stop playing with so many bad cards in your deck.

I don’t believe in conspiracy theories or stacked RNG but I just had a game where I had THREE headless horseman heads in my deck (1 ran and 2 discovered) ALL in the bottom 3 cards of my deck. I finally drew one then died to fatigue lol… unreal
Nothing about that suggests rigged behavior
I did not say it was.

Good because unlucky stuff happens to everyone
Lol, after 10 lowrolling games where Reno was in last 5-10 cards, now I lose a game because my Reno was the last card, and it got burned because I drew Zarog’s Crown before it, and it got auto-played because of Surfalopod, so it clogged my hand by 1 more card.
Epic luck is epic. But oh well, just go next.
You need some targetet draws which can draw those cards by a good chance… but I don’t believe they are always at the bottom… you just don’t want to realize when they are not.

Idk about the card he wanted to draw, but there’s no targeted draws for Reno, unfortunately
EDIT: Actually, there is one, but it’s not applicable in my deck
