As you correctly pointed out, the 2.1 scheduler still doesn’t randomize new cards, only review cards. It shuffles learning cards a bit (i think?), but it still has some system to it. > [@Subdecks - New cards Randomize](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/subdecks-new-cards-randomize/5460): > > Hello everyone, I would like to know when we will get the function that if you are learning with a parent deck, the new cards (and learning cards) will be picked randomized. Of course, for review cards this already applies since Scheduler 2.1. The addons of the Hoochie family have been able to compensate for this up to now (HoochiePapa for new cards, HoochieBaby for learning cards), but the support for HoochiePapa is no longer available and it would of course be nice to finally have the functio… This is because some people want to study their cards in a very structured way (lesson by lesson). Beginning to wonder whether they’re even the majority. _The only option for truly random new cards is to put them all in a single deck_, suspending and unsuspending cards as you progress. If you got any questions regarding that strategy, I’m happy to help. Having the option to randomize the cards when studying from a parent deck **would be the best thing ever**. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/cards-in-sub-decks-arent-random/7802)._
