imo i think edrags have an amazing place in the game, i play qc hybrid and it gets countered by really compact base layouts with multi infernos. And i really like that edrag spammers make the number of these bases really low
The only reason I use e drags is for the exact reason you said no use of brain. I play casually I just wanna collect resources do event attacks then make actual armies for war or cwl. Then do raid weekends just casual play for progression
