There is a distinct, panic-inducing feeling that occurs when you realize your opponent is playing a hyper-fast Cycle or Bridge Spam deck.
Fast decks prey entirely on players who panic, over-defend, and leak elixir.
Establishing the Rhythm
If you use a Cannon to defend their Hog Rider, they will play four 1-elixir cards to cycle back to a second Hog Rider before your Cannon is back in your hand.
By keeping a building alive in the center, you fundamentally slow down the pace of the entire match, preventing them from spamming the bridge freely.
Stay calm.A perfectly placed Skeleton Army will instantly melt a charging Battle Ram before it hits the tower.They have no heavy defenses to stop a massive push.
The Inevitable Crush
You will take chip damage, you will be constantly reacting, and you will feel like you are losing the entire time.
You can now afford to drop your massive 8-elixir tank in the back and still have plenty of elixir to defend their desperate Bridge Spam attempts on the opposite lane.

The Calm Before the Storm
Fast decks rely heavily on causing panic and capitalizing on the clumsy, expensive mistakes that follow.
Speed is an illusion if it crashes into an unmovable object.
