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.

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.
