Is playtest broken, or is it just me?

My issue is as simple as it is annoying. I my deck - Arise and defend my mill! I have 4x Colosus of Akros in order to mill it out into a graveyard and ressurect it turn 4. I did read the card odds, I know what are the chances of drawing each of them in turn X or Y.
But I really can't understand how is it possible, that in ALMOST EACH SINGLE PLAYTEST I'm getting Colosus of Akros in opening hand, quite often in 2x copies.
Believe me, I'm working with this deck since quite a long time and I did definitely over 100 playtest. at least 6 times on 10 Colosus is in the opening hand, defnitely more often than lands or any auto-mill card (let's treat Taigam's Scheming, Commune with the Gods and Satyr Wayfinder as one card x10 - playtest never likes it as much as Collosus).
All I'm about is that it's really annoying and it makes deck constructing and testing really difficult. Restarts, mulligans - I'm still seeing the only card I want to mill in opening hands. Any clues?

Well four of them would mean you get a lot... I tried and got them in roughly half the hands I drew. Don't think that the tester is broken though.

Ok, I know what 4x someting means :) As well as 4x Taigam's Scheming. Or Kin-Tree Invocation. Or anything I have there in 4 copies. Or lands - there are 23 of them. Nevertheless none of those likes me as much as Colossus in playtesting.
I forgot to add that when I'm testing the deck just by shuffling it on my table things like this don't happen that many times. Of course, also then I can see Colossus in hand, but defnitely not as often as here.

Hell, I've been having trouble getting the playtester to work on my computer lately
