These Evolved units often possess vastly superior stats, unique attacks, or the ability to survive spells that would normally kill them instantly.

The ResultNew TacticsMakes cycle decks exponentially more dangerousHeavy beatdown decks must play hyper-aggressively before the cycle player unlocks their overpowered formsRequires much deeper knowledge of every single interactionYou can no longer rely on muscle memory for spell damage; you must check if the unit is currently evolved What Will They Think of Next?
The game you played three years ago is not the same game you are playing today.

Embrace the new mechanics, learn the updated math, and exploit the fresh synergies before anyone else does.
