MTG Salvation

true, but in playing about 10 matches of 3 games each, I had some type of mana problem over 80% of the time. I'm playing RW Burn and only have 19 lands so when I get flooded 3 games in a row it's quite agitating. Oddly enough, after about 5 matches and getting flooded or color screwed (which I admit is most likely due to the mana base because it's budget) I actually put 3 more lands in and ended up getting mana screwed the next few games and on and on. I don't know what the deal is, in a deck with 19 lands you don't want to have 8 lands on turn 9. It wouldn't frustrate me if it wasn't happening over 50% of the time but every time I play MTGO it seems I'm getting mana screwed or mana flooded, no matter the deck, no matter the game. As for real life, personally, in a tournament I begin with a 9 pile, pile shuffle and then I bridge for the rest of the duration of shuffling, present no cards to anyone and maintaining an order that is as randomized as possible. This seems to work so anyone out there take it from me, that is if you don't mind bridging an $800 modern deck LOL but after all, they are just cards.
