well you seem to be a special case. The real reason most of us want is a random deck option that makes both people use random decks. As it stands right now only a handful of decks get used on a regular basis and it makes the game stale and repetitive. Random decks would be invaluable to adding to the replayability of the game.

Well, I can see your point :P

@Sean,

Why has the community been ignored on this point?  I get the feeling that ideas are held back from implementation, to be put into future games instead.  Probably done in order to continue the development of the game slowly and hence secure it's future sales in the long term by demonstrating (and selling) the evolution of the game year-on-year.  Plenty of ethical ambiguity here should this be the case.

Is a random deck selector scheduled to be a big selling point of DOTP 2021?

Cheers.

I can't speak to any future releases or content of any kind, but I can assure you that I've passed on the request for a random deck option. It's been made multiple times in the past, and I was sure to let the design team know there was such a high demand for it.

Thanks for your response, it's good to know you're passing this stuff on.

Although, mindbogglingly and frustratingly, I'm unsure why you're unable to talk about future content.  I'd be grateful if you could elaborate on why Wizards won't let you discuss possible future features?

Damn, still no word on the next expansion? Im a little surprised, I thought we woulda heard something by now.

At the rate they've been giving us information, I'm not expecting to hear anything about another expansion/deck packs until 4 days before they're released on the official site. Then Sean will announce the same thing on here 3 days before. Needless to say, I'm dissappointed on the rate they're giving out info. The product itself is great and well worth it value-wise. What a shame.

1. Bring back the count down clock from the first Duels game.  Once everyone in the room lights up green a clock counts down from 5 and when it hits 0 the game starts.  I been staying this since 2012 it needed to be brought back cuz just waiting on the person to start the game can take forever especially when they not even there.
2. Bring back the ability to Side Board while in the game lobby like it was in the first Duels game. Made it so much easier to go into your deck to redo what you wanted to do quick and then be able to start the game.  Again im not sure why you took these first 2 things out from 2012 and 2013. These 2 options listed above did not make the game worse and most ppl liked the way it worked so to just take those out didnt make sense.
3. Random deck select.  Really how hard would it be to insert another "deck" space in the current list to select in the lobby room.  The deck would just have a big ? on it and you just dont know what deck you playing till your in the game.  What you could also do is just make an option in the room to turn on random decks only so no one will cheat and say they did random when they didnt
