I disagree and find journey loopers much less annoying than teams that can wipe you out entirely in a few turns. Use snap freeze plus some other troop like leprechaun or a weapon like wand of stars, plus the AI often stops looping anyway due to making bad choices. There are other troops that are way worse. Such as goblins, that loop longer as they all get an extra turn and have other stuff like silence, summon, devour etc, hourglass teams, spirit gem teams, trick and treat, various skull bombers and so on. You can also beat journey teams most of the time by just using a journey team yourself, so targetting these specifically is nonsense imo shrug
