Bias selection towards

When choosing auto-match, there is an option to bias the selection towards any of the sets present.

Does this show up when auto-match is trying to match players? Or will it just say "Default card selection chosen" without showing which sets the selection was biased towards?

Here is a way to get answers from knowledgeable people (use sparingly, or only with troll accounts).

Make bold claims about the exact functioning of the system in public.  This will then switch Doug from "not ANOTHER discussion of card selection" mode to "must squelch misinformation" mode.

 ;D  Well stated law of the internet!  We were planning a family cruise and my wife was trying to figure out if a ship had good sushi or not.  She was looking at a cruise ship forum and posted something like "What is the sushi like on ship x".  The topic was read, but never responded to.  So, I suggested she change the title to be "Why does the sushi on ship x suck?"  That prompted 2-3 pages of discussion and gave her multiple reviews from people with vastly different opinions.

It seems to me like it doesn't work.  I used to always ask for bias toward base.  On the other hand, it is up at the top near the automatch options, rather than with the other play options.

I believe it doesn't show anything special. There was one day that I was looking for practice with Alchemy cards and I set my selection to bias towards Alchemy.  I'm pretty sure the proposed game did not say "biased towards Alchemy"--I think it was just "Default card selection was used."

Don't quote me on this because I wasn't paying too close attention, but that's my memory of the day.

No, it doesn't say anything; I think auto-match will always say "Default card selection".

Thanks. I was wondering why Cornucopia cards show up so often for me, when they should be lagging far behind the other expansions in terms of # games with.
