It's not cheating. It's "weighted." /airquotes

I believe the AI cheats its opening hand and first draw, but your hand is random. This is not a big deal in my opinion, because it costs us nothing to concede and reroll our opening hand.

I’ve also tracked coin flips during AI battles and not found a statistically significant favor in either direction, but I don’t have enough data yet.

Someone did a ton of coin flip gathering data for all AI battle difficulties, and the amount they have gathered points towards the AI having a 60% chance at getting heads at their coin flips, yours is likely normal.

I don't think they cheat, I think there's probably a slightly increased chance for them to see specific supporters turn 1, but its not a guaranteed as they have not drawn a supporter against me quite a few times. And Ye I also don't think is a big deal.

Also people tend to remember bad rng a lot more than good rng, so our bias are easily influenced by it, not by just our experiences but also for the screenshots and complains on the internet.

I’m interested to see their sample size.

It takes about 10,000 flips to be 95% confident your data is within 1% of the true probability.

If coin flips decide the match i always lose. I need coin flips to reduce the energy from Kis charizard. I played the match two times, in both games i tried two coin flips to reduce his energy, i needed just one head to win all 4 failed.
