I do not like stacked decks

When there is a reward somewhere (heist, blight) and it has a card icon my enjoyment going down. I know it will be a stacked deck and I will just draw a random card. It is so boring.

I wish there was more types of mechanics coming from card icon rewards, giving stacked decks is so dumb.

give ma 10 cars of the same type, give me cards of the same rewards theme (armours, currency, uniques), make new type of card box where I pick what card I want to pick or what type of card rewards I can get, give me card token that I can then exchange at some NPC for another card related rewards, a map with enchantment that give some divination card rewards...

Why? This gives them value. Every single one is valuable which is the point.
It's my favorite item in all of Path of Exile.
It used to be my main income, lol. I would do Heist and Expedtion and open stacked decks and i would always hit sth big sooner or later. Unfortunately you can't farm them as fast anymore that way, so i do sth else.

Plz more stacked decks again GGG, revert the nerfs ;P
I love spending my divs on a few thousand of them and opening em in Kingsmarch, that's one of my fave chill activities later in a league. And if I get a big card I can harvest gamba it too which is even more fun.

Though I agree that they should drop much more from certain mechanics, its just sad that the wish for cache of stacked decks in Mirage only drops like 2x of them when I was expecting 10x+
Lifelong NEET, loud and proud about it.
While I personally also dislike stacked decks (and card gamba) I am aware a lot of people love them so I wouldn't want to see them removed for that reason.

That said, your suggestions are pretty interesting and I don't see why they should be mutually exclusive with stacked decks. I'd like to see a system like this implemented (kinda like the Breach Tree in a way) where you can get stacked decks but also more interesting types of card rewards. I think it would be fun for us non-deck-enjoyers.

Have you tried cloister scarabs? I think that strat still works and it can give you 40+ stacked decks per map. I ran that in Mercenaries and did 50/50 sell and open (because my hands couldn't handle opening them all). It was good money and got me a Mageblood ;)

@OP: If you don't farm them and just get a small number randomly, maybe saving up and selling them in bulk is the best use for them. They usually go for a few chaos each, but it's probably better to save up until you have a divine's worth. They might even go up in price later in the league where more people buy tons of them and open them for fun.
