Players constantly argue over whether randomness adds exciting unpredictability or ruins the integrity of esports.

Understanding exactly where randomness factors into the equation allows top players to mitigate its negative effects.

By ensuring a healthy mix of low-cost cycle cards, they guarantee they will always have some form of defense.
