Instead of massive, chaotic battles, you see them slowly playing one-cost cards at the very back of the map.

In a game where knowing the opponent's counter is the key to victory, playing your main card blindly is suicide.

Testing the Waters

You achieve this by playing 'cycle cards'—extremely cheap units that require some sort of response.

If they respond with an Ice Golem and a Musketeer, you can immediately deduce they are likely playing a fast cycle deck.

• They are likely running a heavy, slow deck.
• Keep track of their rotation in your head.
• Information dictates your offensive timing.

The Invisible Math

Information gathering is not just about knowing what cards they have; it is about knowing how much energy they have.

If you successfully defend a massive push and know the enemy is sitting at zero energy, you have a perfect window to attack.

Reading the Mind

When executed perfectly, a prediction looks like pure magic, but it is actually the result of meticulous information gathering.

Knowledge wins wars, both in the real world and in the digital arena.
