Axis by axis

Execution4 vs 4

Even - both lean on execution about the same.

Reads7 vs 10

SpyParty leans harder on reads: Pure 1v1 behavioral modeling; both players adapt endlessly.

Variance5 vs 4

Clash Royale leans harder on variance: Opponent's deck hidden until cards appear

Optimization7 vs 5

Clash Royale leans harder on optimization: Elixir trades and matchup theory are deep
