Random Number Generation, or RNG, is a highly debated topic in almost every competitive video game genre.
In the context of lane-pushing arena battlers, RNG is typically minimized compared to card games or auto-battlers.
Initial Deck Shuffling

Once the initial hand is played, the rotation becomes fixed, and pure skill and memory take over.
