My deck can't lose when it runs normally — bad draws today, doesn't count

---

My deck literally cannot lose when it plays out correctly — today was just awful draws, this one doesn't count!!

The control archetype I've built has a theoretical counter to every aggro strategy. Front-end lockdown, no deployment for the opponent, then a heavy-cost finisher to swing the board in one move. The logic is airtight.

Today's problem: kept drawing my late-game cards for the first six turns. No early control pieces, couldn't set the pace, looked like I was getting steamrolled. That's not the deck's fault — that's a shuffle outcome. Normal draw distribution and this is a completely different game. Running it back now.

Bad hand situations are where deck construction decisions pay off or don't. A well-constructed deck has 4-5 acceptable bad hand outcomes. A poorly-constructed deck has 2-3. Mulligan policy matters too.

This is actually really helpful. I didn't think about the mulligan policy as part of deck construction. I've been building decks and then figuring out the mulligan after.
