Let's roll a d20. Highest to lowest will be the order. I roll a... 20! (Honest!)

On a side note, what do you guys use to keep track of your decks? The old Excel spreadsheet or something else? I'm not happy with the Excel one, the shuffling seems off - I seem to get clumps of mana no matter how many times I "shuffle".

I use Excel, despite the frequent feast/famine effect. I'm too lazy to make a physical deck of proxies or anything like that.

Also, I will roll a physical D20 tonight at home. I don't trust Excel to roll a die for me.

Oh, I'm too lazy to make a proxy deck also. I just didn't know if, after all this time, something better came out than our Excel spreadsheet.

And I rolled an physical d20 for that! Double damage, yo!

I use the excel file I created. Not sure about the mana clumps you are complaining about, I just use the rand function and then sort lowest to highest.
I rolled a 5

Rolled my die. Got a 15. Spidey, you're on the clock for the first turn.

I'm using the rand function and I *think* it's doing some sorting, but it doesn't seem to be from low to high or high to low because the rand numbers are all over the place, as far as I can tell. Does yours have the Shuffle button? How can I see what that actually does, like the "code" or function?

Every time you perform an action in Excel, it re-randomizes the numbers. So it sorts based on the existing values, which then get re-randomized post-sort. Yes, it seems very stupid, but that's how it works.
