Drop rate nerf

pineappleing sucks, I was hunting big spider familiar cards, got 1 after a few hours ;-;

And derp, I was all like 'Why aren't mesos dropping?'.

I think I've heard that familiar cards aren't subject to the droprate nerf in any case? It's just bad luck (and a lowish droprate to begin with). I've been hunting Mutant Snail for almost two levels (160-162), always on a minimum of 1.5x (sometimes 3x) -- and I've only gotten one card. Definitely nothing to do with the nerf in my case.
