However, there is one unavoidable element of pure, unadulterated luck that infects every single match from the very first second.

This article explores the controversial role of starting hands and how to survive the chaotic first fifteen seconds of a match.
When Luck Fails You
For example, imagine you are playing a deck with a Cannon and a Log to defend against Hog Riders and Goblin Barrels.

You are forced to awkwardly defend a fast, aggressive threat using heavy spells or expensive win conditions, resulting in a terrible elixir trade and massive tower damage.

Conversely, the RNG of starting hands creates opportunities for massive, immediate advantages if you are willing to take a calculated risk.

They will then launch a massive counter-push with a significant elixir advantage, likely resulting in you losing a tower immediately.
