Strength in Hectors

I had the most ridiculous Strength In Numbers play during my Ranked Weekend Live stream last night:

Strength In Numbers adds four random war cards to your hand and gives them each +2/+2.
In my case however, I generated 3 of the Legendary War card Hector, Prince of Troy.

Now not only is this improbable, but almost mathematically impossible (Any math wiz on the fact check?). On top of that, (not included in this clip but in the full stream) the next card I drew from my deck was the Hector I ran in the deck list.

All around hilarious moment, and needless to say I went on to win the game with 4 copies of a card that had most, and then all, of the abilities listed on the card across the game. It almost assuredly is a bug, but hard to say for sure.

That's absolutely busted, pretty sure you just got insanely lucky there rather than it being a bug. Humans tend to view randomness differently from how machines view it 😉

Since there are 128 collectible War cards that can be spawned, my napkin math says that the probability of this happening is 4C3 * 127 / 128^4 = 0.0002% or thereabouts. Not too sure whether it's entirely correct but either way this is pretty close to winning the lottery in GU 😂

Ty for running the numbers! I was very curious about this.
