Random Number Generation, or RNG, is a highly debated topic in almost every competitive video game genre.

However, it still exists in subtle ways that can completely alter the outcome of a very close match.
The Luck of the Draw
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.

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.
