Greg is getting 25+ mana average a round.  This is getting out of hand.  A simple RG match now takes 20 minutes becuase you cant keep up.  Not only is this time consuming it makes in impossible to play anything but your best cards.  Of my 1200 cards maybe 200 are actually helpful with this onslaught.

    I've actually been getting less cascades since the 2.6 update, down a bit from the last couple.

    Looks like random bias strikes again!

    It is so bad that I will not be completing my matches for first time in 6 months.  I have actually adopted policies that I read here and just quit matches becuase it is a waste of my time.  Yestersay I tried playing the two training grounds with some unmastered rares and mythics I have to try and get out of gold.  Went 0 for 8 then just gave up.  Guess back to the same cards Ive been using  becuase I have no chance otherwise.

    Thats not a great attitude.  I know its frustrating when the AI gets huge cascades and you get stuck with nothing, but quitting doesn't help anything.  If I'm on a cold streak I just double down on removal stuff for "just in case" and try to work the board better.  It doesn't always work, but it definitely helps.

    If you want to master cards you should just play Heroic matches (I usually go for the ones in the first one as they dont have advantages). They not only master cards very quickly but every win is 250 runes as well.

    Training grounds is really hard to win with random unmastered mythics and rares. Contrary to what it says, it's usually not a great place to test random decks out.

    The ai cascades like it always has . Sometimes it runs hot . Sometimes it runs cold. You mentioned what the problem is , yourself. Anything pvp is going to be a bad place to try and master random jank . I use tg to test new decks . Sometimes I get wrecked. Just means the deck needs work . Stick to heroics for mastering jank. Those matches are really forgiving and you can do things like win with only vanilla 5/3s that cost 17 to cast .
