Yellow juice is consuming the full stack of div cards on fail and not just half

Sacrifice up to half a stack of Divination Cards to receive between 0 and twice that amount of the same Card

So if the way this is worded is correct then if I have 6 cards and I have a total fail on the roll the worst outcome I should be able to get is 3 right?

Multiple times yesterday I had the entire stack of 7 years bad luck just vanish. I recall it happening with 6 cards and 4 and a few other times when I wasn't paying as close attention. If this is the way its intended to function the wording should be changed on the option but if its correct something is definitely not working correctly.

"Sacrifice up to half a stack of Divination Cards to receive between 0 and twice that amount of the same Card"

A stack is considered a full set of 13/13 cards for example. You can only ever put in half a stack at most. If you try to put in 13/13 cards, the system won't let you gamble it. I forget how the rounding works for odd stacks, so the maximum cards you can put in is either 6 or 7 cards. If you double the cards, you have to remove the excess in order to gamble again to maintain the half stack limit.

Incorrect.
In this scenario, if you have 6 cards and say a full deck is 12 cards.
You have sacrificed up to half a stack of divination cards 6/12
to receive between 0 and 12 cards
In this scenario, you received 0.

Another note, you cannot sacrifice half a stack of div cards if a full deck is 1 card.
If a full deck is 2 cards, you can sacrifice half a deck, in this scenario 1.
To receive 0, 1 or 2 cards.

So nothing about what you guys said explains why the text is wrong. This cannot possibly be the intended outcome with the wording the way it is and if it is then the wording needs to be fixed. The way it is worded right now. It says sacrifice half of the stack, so half of the cards I have in the crafting bench and then gain up to double the starting stack size that I put into the bench or gain nothing. That's exactly how its worded. So why doesn't it work that way? Any explanation other than the words need changed to reflect the mechanics or it's a bug will be ignored because its just ignoring the core problem. Bad wording is still bad regardless. There's no reason to have it worded the way it is. It should say receive up to double the current stack size or get nothing or 0 or whatever. The wording saying sacrifice x makes it miss leading and confusing for no reason.

You're still confusing stack size. A full stack of cards is a full set. You're thinking a full stack as what's in the harvest bench, and half that stack is what gets sacrificed (which is wrong).

It's even consistent with the new div scarab:
"Divination cards which drop in Area have a 20% chance to drop as a full stack instead"
A full stack = a full complete set. If the card that procs is 1/26, it drops as a full stack, or 26/26.

You're welcome to find better wording that doesn't take half a paragraph to explain in the UI, or just accept the definition of stack size is not what you thought it was. But that is how it has worked since Harvest league, except back then you had to find the craft or find someone who saved it and they just dropped on the ground when you crafted it, assuming no poof.
