 <br>If your opponent rushes the bridge and all your cheap defensive counters are at the bottom of your deck, you lose the tower.<br>
 <br>Professional players build their decks specifically to minimize the chances of a truly unplayable starting hand.<br>
 Always include at least two cheap defensive options.Don't panic if your starting hand is bad.Accept that sometimes you will lose to a lucky start.
 Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
 <br>Another subtle layer of RNG comes from the slight inconsistencies in how the game's AI handles pathfinding.<br>
