Yes, it is fully based on luck like any other card game. Lol.
In optimal conditions, card games are a test of strategy dependent on using the cards correctly. When there is only one way to use the cards, conditions are not optimal.
Basically what I was going to say, so instead of that I will give some examples:
This game: Get a shrine element generator thing- play it, get a monster, play it
Other games, take yu-gi-oh for example: Get a monster. play it, risk losing it. play trap cards according to your prediction of your opponents next move, save up low level monsters to get a bigger monster
