If you are playing a heavy, expensive deck, this constant, rapid-fire pressure can completely overwhelm your reaction time and destroy your rotation.

To defeat them, you must establish an impenetrable defensive rhythm and learn to absorb minor chip damage to build a massive counter-offensive.

The primary win condition of any Cycle deck is out-pacing your specific defensive counter.

By keeping a building alive in the center, you fundamentally slow down the pace of the entire match, preventing them from spamming the bridge freely.
