Why are people still building Cyclops when they aren't facing Dante spam? 0.o
Towards the end Bum had an army of noticeably larger metal value but was very much on the defensive because he sunk 6600 metal into three mostly ineffectual cyclops.
Three phantoms would have done a LOT more damage to his opponent (most games they seem to rack up 3-5x their metal value) and he'd have been able to buy 5 Minotaurs to act as damage sinks with the remaining metal (and with no loss of DPS even!).

thats how I think about you Sparkles : D
