The presence of luck-based mechanics in a strategy game can be both a blessing and a massive frustration.

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.

Professional players build their decks specifically to minimize the chances of a truly unplayable starting hand.
Never run a deck that is too heavy.Cycle your cheapest cards in the back.Move on to the next match quickly. 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.

Focus on improving your timing and placement, and let the RNG sort itself out in the long run.
