Just thought I'd share this story of,"I'm in hell, the shuffler hates me."

Been losing (badly) at 2 different leagues for the last 4 weeks.  I think I've won 2 matches in total out of the last 20. Zen can attest that the Mirrordin set I started with was pretty sweet.  However, I never got any cards of use, while it seemed like my opponents always got the cards they needed at exactly the right time.  Zen watched one match, I imagine thinking that it was just the way I was playing, and also witnessed my horrific luck.

Well in the second to last match of my BOK league tonight I did what most say is impossible.   Out of a deck of 40 cards, containing 16 lands I managed to draw no lands on the first hand and the next 4 mulligans.  I wish there had been some way of recording this, because it was just surreal.

 

The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.

Just to make you feel 'better' the probability of that happening with 16/40 cards being land is 1.00158 E-6.
