Full art cards, the truth beneath their glory

Am I the only one who smells trolls in the dungeon?

Winning or losing games is irrelevant to the premise. The only variables worth looking at here are shuffling and randomization. There's more bad science in this thread than I can shake a stick at. :/

If you really wanted to do a study of this the correct way would be to use a certain percentage of full art and regular cards. Use brand new sleeves and everytime you shuffle put the cards in a certain order and only use the same technique the same number of times. Then your data would be the entire deck. Track the cards at every position from 1 to 60. Do this numerous times. Then do the same thing but with no foils. Use the data to check if clumps happen more often with foils or full arts. You can't determine it by wins and losses. There's too many other factors involved.

The difference between a regular card and a Rev Holo is only .1 grams.

Reg card typically weighs 1.8 grams
Rev Holo typically weighs 1.9 grams
Full Art typically weighs 2.0 grams

I can't imagine that amount of weight making cards stick together.

Actually it's 1.7 for regular.

EX, holo, rev holo, and FA are all 1.9.

If anyone wants to get rid of all their bad luck full art cards, I'll gladly trade you for lucky normal art cards *wink*
I'll even throw in a free can of snake oil
