We call that final fantasy 4, actually. Except it was decided for the whole game 8) Also, that analogy was from september ;P way to be belated in replying.

If you don't play with random, it's just boring after a while. The point of games is to CHALLENGE you. If you have a similar card set to your opponent, then winning random battles consistancy is a sign of skill. Edea, for example 8)

Seriously, if you're playing the game just so you can win every time, that's a terrible reason. But maybe you prefer games where you aren't a few potions away from total annihilation the entire time (like I was with ff4 incidentally xD)
