Fix Random
Use a secure random generator for coin flips. It seems like you don't do this. Having 90% of my "manual" flips landing on tails isn't funny. The game is coin flip heavy so it's important that they are fair 50/50 flips, I can't imagine that any game dev would not use a secure random generator. But seems like you don't. I might be very unlucky but it seems very unlikely that the coin flip is truly random.

How do you know what kind of RNG the game uses? What sample size did you use to establish that the coin flips are not sufficiently random?
Surely it's not one? It's not just you, right?
Because there may indeed be something wrong with the RNG. But you will need better proof than "I lost most of my coin flips, RNG sux!"

I am a begginer game developer and and I think I know what thay did wrong
If thay did it the way I think thay did I know the problem
If thay have It check between 1 and 2 rng tends to pick 1 over any other number

Again, it is possible that there is a genuine flaw in the RNG that needs to be addressed. But you need a bigger sample size to assess that. Or access to the game's code and the functions it uses to simulate randomness.
Humans are really bad at recognising randomness, to the point that ironically they will think a rigged system that achieves a more even distribution of results is more random.
I could toss a coin 1000 times in real life and get tails every time. That doesn't mean that the coin (or the physics of the universe) is necessarily rigged. In a truly random system, 100% of one result is a perfectly valid outcome.

I completely agree, though, the Misty Supporter card is almost entirely useless. I have been playing the game for a month-ish and I’ve gotten around 3 heads with that card. I think there really could be some improvements to the RNG; I have learned to avoid coin flip cards because it seems weighted toward tails.
All statistical talk aside, if they want to keep people playing this game, they should correct (or at least avoid) appearance of preference in randomization.

You do not want to weight coin flip cards towards favourable outcomes. As angry as people are about Misty now, if you made it so that it favoured heads, water decks would be broken.
I hate RNG cards myself, but random chance is a balancing factor, and part of the skill in deck building and play is knowing when you can risk playing a card that might do nothing, and when you need the more reliable, but less impactful card.
