Fix the shuffling RNG

Too often the game has been giving me lousy starting hands and being unable to get the cards I need to get my team going. During the last match I had no less than 4(!) basic energy cards in my starting hand! This RNG is stupid and needs fixing pronto or I'm taking my money elsewhere.

    Maybe your list has too much energy?

    Why are you only running 2 rare candy in a deck with two stage 2s??? If that's where you're having problems making thinga line up you pretty much always want four copies of rare candy.

    @PachirisuFan1 I was going to. I haven't updated the deck list yet.

    Er.................. No, there are definitely several things wrong with this list but that's a separate issue.

    So, to be completely clear, consistency is a problem with Chien-Pao already, and your list made it much worse. This deck isn't going to actually work well no matter how good the shuffling is.

    @TechHog Dude, this is my OLD deck list. I already changed plenty and it works better but no matter how good a deck is the RNG can still screw it up. And I think Chien Pao is a great deck but everyone rather follows the herd playing the best decks.
