Sure, getting a prefect combo is rare, and some runs you just get screwed. Player control can alter the probabilities though, and the player skill really comes through when you're balancing a more complex deck with multiple combinations. There's a lot of little decisions to make, and once you get good at them you can win most of the time - until you start piling on ascension.
