You guys seem to defend that dumping huge amounts in clams is both necessary & compulsory to be able to compete. I have certainly won more than once without doing that, so I dispute this line of reasoning.

Wendigo is one of the best players I know of, with a good grasp of the early game and a punishing grasp of the end game. I deeply regretted having invested water gems in pearls when losing to him. I lost many to murdering winter, and regretted not having spent them on something as simple as frost resist rings, or summons.

Frankly, you guys have _still_ done nothing to counter his points, and merely repeat your astute observation that Clams can pay off in the very long term, or resort to circular logic.
