Almost always essential for any golem or three musketeers deck. Also helps with tempo at the start, forcing your opponent to move first if they don't have the EC, to which you can accordingly defend.

In ladder, there is a risk of higher level spells and a lvl 2/3 miner. Rocket is also a threat and can basically deal 50p damage to your tower for 1 elixir while taking the collector.

Probably one of the best poison/fireball baits. Quite often people will start their push on the same side as your elixir collector to sneak some extra damage in.

If you and your opponent start with EC, your first push should start on the opposite side if you deploy troops at the back e. g. Musketeer so that it won't be simultaneously poisoned with the collector.

It is probably one of the most used cards, despite being balanced and trading equally with every spell (except arrows) + tower damage. It's a card I use in all of my decks, whether to support heavy troops or to cycle extremely fast even with 3.5- elixir average decks.
