If you do not understand this fundamental interaction triangle, you will constantly lose to players with inferior mechanical skill.

In this digital version, the triangle consists of Swarms, Area-of-Effect (Splash) Damage, and High Single-Target Damage.
Swarm, Splash, Single-Target
The rules of the arena are simple: Swarms overwhelm Single-Target units; Splash Damage obliterates Swarms; and Single-Target units destroy Splash Damage.

Every time you place a card on the battlefield, you must ask yourself: "Which part of the triangle am I playing, and what does the opponent have to counter it?"
A deck with only swarms will be destroyed by a single splash unit.Reaction time matters.Use spells to break the rules of the triangle. Advanced Baiting and Archetypes
If your opponent only has one 'Scissors' (Splash spell) in their deck, and you bring three 'Papers' (Swarms), they literally cannot stop you.

You are no longer playing the cards on the screen; you are playing the player behind the screen.
