Don’t show us where the card was in Wonder Picks

Wonder Pick is a nice idea that plays out in the meanest way. It allows you to see a selection of packs opened by other players, pick one, and then choose one of the five cards at random.

Of course, you’ll pick a pack that has a card you really want in it, and then have a 20 percent chance of actually getting it. So four times out of five, you don’t get what you wanted. That sucks enough on its own, but the game’s insistence on painfully slowly returning you to the screen to watch the rest of the cards flip over, showing you the location of the card you actually wanted, is miserable.

Perhaps some people want it, want to know where it would have been, so they can cry, “That was the card I was going to choose! Why did I change my mind!” But sensible people would rather not, and it’d be lovely to have an option to have this moment of mocking torture taken away.
