The presence of luck-based mechanics in a strategy game can be both a blessing and a massive frustration.
In the context of lane-pushing arena battlers, RNG is typically minimized compared to card games or auto-battlers.

Professional players build their decks specifically to minimize the chances of a truly unplayable starting hand.

The Unpredictable AI
