Admittedly, the RNG for MP is rather wonky due to the presence of character cards that don't disappear from the pool, kinda like the common item padding the lottery to ensure rare items are always rare. But then, that is the inherent 'risk' of systems that rely on RNG, commons are common, rares are uncommon but not quite, and ultra-rares are frustrating but rewarding.
