Deleting Last Item from Array of String

To remove just the last element use this:

newDeck = newDeck.Take(newDeck.Count() - 1).ToArray();

Your solution removes all Elements that are equal to the last element. For a string, this means, it removes all elements equal to A

You can use Array class to resize:

Array.Resize(ref result, result.Length - 1);

@Flat Eric explained why your solution is not working.

Here is alternate for removing last element:

newDeck = newDeck.Reverse().Skip(1).Reverse().ToArray();

Clarification:

[a, b, c] => Reverse => [c, b, a] => Skip(1) => [b, a] => Reverse() => [a, b]
