So much ridiculous variance from even from before you start the game. It's entirely possible to just straight up lose before the end of the first turn, and that means the most efficient way to play is to just keep surrendering after turn 1 until you get a hero placement that's favorable. Why they decided to bake so much RNG into this game is completely beyond me because the alternative to surrendering games where you don't have a favorable starting position is to dredge through an RNG slogfest where you're spending a very long time losing and if you start to creep towards a win, variance can instantly push you back into an unwinnable game state. It's like someone listened to Mark Rosewater talk about how slight variance can give people a chance that makes games intersting, and then implemented it backwards in that every game is a roll of the dice with a slight chance of the better player winning. Every single aspect of this game is randomly decided and as a long time competetive tabletop gamer across many systems including MtG, Android Netrunner, WH: Underworlds, YGH, and PKM. This game has absolutely zero competetive value or long term appeal, Please stay far away.
