Terrible shuffling on cockatrice? Help?

Online Magic forum

I play a deck with 26 lands. And at least 9 out of 10 games I end up with only one or two lands. I play the same deck in paper and it rarely happens to me. Is there something up with he algorithm?

I find that this happens to me as well on Cockatrice. I play scapeshift but sometimes draw no-land hands. I found that just mashing control+S took away the problem (most of the time)

Yep. The shuffler there has a very bad algorithm

The same happens on TappedOut's playtester. It's got some really funky stuff going on. Starts with 6 land, 3 copies of a card, 2 land starts, etc. occur regularly. These things just aren't mathematically likely to happen that often.

Press ctrl+s a really damn lot of times.... But yea, I always get mana-screwed on Cockatrice and not in real life....
