However, there is one unavoidable element of pure, unadulterated luck that infects every single match from the very first second.

This article explores the controversial role of starting hands and how to survive the chaotic first fifteen seconds of a match.
The Nightmare Scenario: Getting 'Starting Handed'
The term 'starting handed' is used by the community to describe a situation where your opening four cards offer absolutely no viable defensive options for the opponent's immediate attack.

In these scenarios, your only goal is 'damage control'; you must accept that you will take a hit, minimize the bleeding using whatever cards you have, and focus on fixing your rotation immediately.

If your opening hand contains your primary win condition and a supporting spell, you can launch a full-scale assault the exact second the match begins.

However, if the opponent happens to have the perfect hard-counter in their opening hand, your aggressive first play will be effortlessly destroyed.
