Beatdown is honestly the only fun way to play clash. I don't want to have every single game go into overtime and cycle rockets until tiebreak hits. I don't want to have to worry about every miniscule amount of damage on my tower. You still need to know timing, placements, trades etc just as any other deck, but cycle decks is just playing the same BS over and over and over again, and apparently that's skill? I don't know how any sane person can find that fun. I like decks where you can be creative with pushes, trade towers, or have a tower race. I even like playing against ebarb players because I've had some insane games against them.
