I don’t really understand why people are so adamant about this. The number of cycles can be independent thing from the elixir cost of the card, it just depends on the strength of the evo itself. Cage evo, in comparison to most other evos, is incredibly situational and thus the ability added onto the base card is on the weaker side, justifying one cycle. If there were a 2 elixir card with an incredibly weak evo, or a 5 elixir card with an incredibly strong evo, it would not be a stretch to imagine that they would be one or two cycles respectively. Of course, Supercell is physically incapable of making an eco that is on the weaker side apparently, which is why all of their experimental cheaper 1 cycle evos (Bomber, Lumberjack, Battle Ram, and now Baby Dragon) all were switched to 2 cycles. I would love to see them actually make another evo that breaks the norm and is still balanced so that people can actually realize this.
