Players constantly argue over whether randomness adds exciting unpredictability or ruins the integrity of esports.

However, it still exists in subtle ways that can completely alter the outcome of a very close match.
Initial Deck Shuffling
Your starting hand is entirely random, which can immediately put you at a massive disadvantage against an aggressive opening.

Once the initial hand is played, the rotation becomes fixed, and pure skill and memory take over.
Never run a deck that is too heavy.Cycle your cheapest cards in the back.Accept that sometimes you will lose to a lucky start. Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
Sometimes a unit will retarget unexpectedly due to a micro-movement by another troop, completely ruining your defensive setup.

Relying on a unit's aggro range down to the exact pixel is risky because tiny bumps can alter their trajectory.

Getting angry at a bad starting hand only causes you to make further mistakes and lose the match entirely.
