Go to your badge page and click "How do I earn card drops?" There's an explanation.

Apparently, we got them for voting during The Steam Awards

UPDATE: Extra cards not dropping anymore. Apparently, it was not a surprise gift from Valve. It was a bug and they fixed it :(

UPDATE 2: You can get 3 cards per day, not 2: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/kgRfq/you-can-get-3-event-cards-by-the-discovery-queue-not-just-2

Got 13 cards yesterday... today it gave me 0 cards. I guess the people who got 13 cards won't receive more?

I didn't get any today either. I guess it is only fair since we got 13 in advance!

Yep, you won't get more until you legitimately earn the ones you got yesterday.

Just how? o_O Thought they fixed the bug of getting 13 cards from voting on Awards. I just got 3. :(

Not even sure. It was just like the first day. Got 13 cards from the first discovery queue and nothing from the other 2. Maybe it's because I've bought a few games and received no cards from that.

good advice, I tried one more time, I got 5 cards for some odd reason.

Maybe they really want to stimulate us to use that discovery thingy

yeah, that was odd that it took 4-5 attempts before i got any, but it finally cracked and gave me some. it says i got "6" according to the end of the discovery que after the first attempt today, and every following attempt. so it may crack some more if we keep trying, idk. (will try again later personally)

If you get 0 cards, look at your badge page.
if it says that you have card drops remaining use idle master.
