Control is objectively more luck-based than aggro

The top deck Reno.

Drawing into the 2nd board clear.

Getting the perfect curve despite 80% of the deck being > 4 mana.

These are all just the result of pure and simple luck.

Aggro/Tempo is consistent by design.

It’s almost impossible to have a bad curve because the average mana cost is low.

The outcome of the game doesn’t hinge on drawing a single swingy card.

Decisions actually come down to playing around the tools that control has and/or maximizing damage before key mana thresholds when control has the opportunity to turn things around.

Sorry control purists. Just a public service announcement that in the aggro/control matchup, the aggro player is the one making more meaningful decisions.
