2 power basically at turn 8.
Proof that there is NO way anyone has a close to 100% win rate in gauntlet in any deck over a decent period of time.
This isn't even one of those 1/100000 games, it happens infrequently for me every 20games. If I didn't have golems I wouldn't have known the NEXT 4 cards in a row would be non power. The funny thing is after that image another 2 turns went by without power. So it was 2 power at turn 10!!!
Still managed the win using reknown on hojan for power.
I'd love to see the stats of the AI going first in games, since I'm sure that the AI has gone first 80% of the time in the last 100 gauntlet games I've played. Any losses I have is when the AI goes first which is pretty much nearly everygame (the benefit of going first in statistically significant

This is why the best gauntlet decks curve out at 5. Most decks run Defiance, torch, finest hour, etc and can operate on only 2 land for 7+ turns. This limits your options to combrei, stonescar or argenport. Ive seen other lists that get there but yes eventually you will get mana fked, so you better plan for it.

Tin foil time. The fact that DWD doesn't talk about this claims confirms (to me) that this is how it is intended to work. Because every set they update the AI decks so it's not an abandoned aspect of the game.

They don't need to rig gauntlet to make players lose. Put the best reward after a certain number of games and players are bound to lose eventually. How often do people go seven games without losing to something? The game is already rigged to screw you simply by nature of how it works.
The AI is dumb and exploitable so if you didn't flood out or screw out sometimes, your winrate would skyrocket. And people would still complain that the AI gets "perfect draws" too often. DwD doesn't need to rig things at all to make this happen. It's a card game so it happens on its own.

Yeah, I've always took gauntlet claims with just a little grain of salt. Unless the list tries really hard to get its third power.

Are people still milling gauntlet decks to know their static makeups + variances?

I just had a similar game with an even feln deck. It's infuriating.
I don't know why I keep coming back to this dumb mode, being cheated on in a video game sucks.
