When a mutated creature gets dejavu, they never mutate into the exact same creature... the base creature is always the same, the ability is randomized again, and I think the stats are always better.
The challenge to building a good deck in tcg's/ccg's is to build a deck that works well and minimizes the effect of luck on how your deck plays, if you're getting a lot of bad draws then you probably need to modify your deck. Besides, I'm sure being able to choose your starting hand would just unbalance the game further, it would be too easy to exploit.
The fastest deck to build up may be a life deck, I managed to win a match with full hp and it doubled the money I earned. Life deck is the best at keeping it's hp up so it could probably earn money faster than the other decks...
I don't understand why so many people feel the need to claim that they failed to get the hard badge by 1 second, especially considering that almost none of them actually died at 199 seconds. There's almost always a post on the front page claiming to have hit 199, yet no one has died at exactly 199 in the last week...
hmmm, maybe the computer doesn't get the same draws every time... or there was an update... but I coulda swore that on 1 or 2 levels the ai did the same thing at the beginning every time.
psycoy, most card games allow you to modify the decks and the goal of a well built deck is to reduce the luck factor involved when you play. That being said, I'm pretty sure that on a given level, the ai always draws the same cards in the same order, so once you know how a level will start off, you could just reset until you have a good hand which allows you to control the luck in this game to some degree...
