I like Saying CCS is a deconstruction because this specifically does not happen. But then I dislike the term deconstruction mostly because it's used by people to justify them watching one entry in a genre and nothing else. Not to mention it's typically limited to meaning "dark take on the genre" when there's other ways to play with the expectations of the viewer (though people who watch Madoka with no other experience in the genre or Eva with no other experience with mecha have no concrete expectations to play with). Clamp definitely knew what they were doing when they set up how the typical card confrontation went.
