“Knowing how quickly you can get back to your defensive or offensive options is what makes some decks easier to play. Some decks cycle so quickly that you are able to attack / defend with the same card before your opponent can put in another card.”
I agree with your post but this paragraph very inaccurate the classic 6 elixir (4-card-cycle,log icegolem,a spirit,skelitons) let’s use 2.6 your previous muski is dead you need to deploy another one you have icegolem to tank her log to deal with swarm.
Also the way you put those four cards before you get to the card you need is also very important like there is a difference between throwing cards randomly and placing them well.
