22 lands in my deck my last game. I started with 1. The other guy finally killed me on turn 8. I would've drawn my 2nd land on turn 12.
Seriously. Why are all my games a mana flood or mana starve? Like, are they ******* hacked and can't do ***** right? I do not believe their randomizer is random. For it to be, there needs to be a guy who is top-decking the nuts every single game. Someone shoot that son of a *****.
But in all reality the randomizer is seriously skrewing me every single game. Every single one. I can't even have fun.
First thing to realize is that a computer can't actually be random. And another thing to realize is that humans are bad at telling if something is random. Think of it this way: there is only one amount of lands to draw that is perfect, but the majority of ways to have a randomized deck will result in slightly too much, or slightly too little, lands. And a perfectly random deck order can and should result in nut and horrible hands/draws at times.
Now your example is an extreme case, but it is probably more likely that you don't usually get screwed that badly. In our minds, being a land or two short may make us scream "MANA SCREWED" when in reality, we were only slightly unlucky. This goes the other way as well, "I drew three lands in a row? I THOUGHT THIS DECK WAS RANDOMIZED!" It can be frustrating when these things happen, but sometimes it is helpful to step back and calm down. Nobody likes being unable to play magic in a game of magic, but the essence of randomness means that these things will happen. Maybe add 1 more land, you may be surprised at how that stats of your deck change.
There is also the, unlikely, possible situation where you get 1 land in the first 15-20 cards every game. Although unlikely, this happening is still perfectly possible. You could just be getting unlucky. It may not be the randomizers fault.
