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

Understanding exactly where randomness factors into the equation allows top players to mitigate its negative effects.
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.
Always include at least two cheap defensive options.Cycle your cheapest cards in the back.Accept that sometimes you will lose to a lucky start. Troop Movement Quirks
While developers strive to make AI as predictable as possible, the physics engine can occasionally create chaotic results.

Leaving a slight margin for error in your defensive placements is the best way to handle AI unpredictability.

The most important skill regarding RNG is learning how to control your emotions when luck inevitably turns against you.

If you are stuck in a lower arena, it is because of your fundamental mechanics, not the random number generator.
