What this deck is
Elixir Golem Beatdown is a beatdown shell built around Elixir Golem. It sits at 3.9 elixir, which sets how often you can repeat its pressure and how much you can afford to defend before answering back.
How it wins
The pressure this deck applies, strongest angle first.
- Tank pressure — a heavy push the opponent has to answer with a full defence.
- Split-lane — both lanes threatened at once to stretch defensive elixir.
Where it breaks
Structural weak points read off the deck's own shell, not off a single matchup.
- One-dimensional: answer the single win condition and the deck runs out of plans.
