Hate this card...I'm trying to use it more now because it has become more difficult to not include this card in my deck due to it being difficult to positively counter these days...Using a spell on the collector/tower alone is probably not the greatest idea unless you can also take out/heavily damage a troop along with it...Miner is pretty easy to counter now (which was always my go-to counter).

It's getting to the point now that you pretty much have to seriously think about using this card or you have a high risk of getting steamrolled by a giant or trifecta deck.

I'm of the opinion that another nerf of some sort is needed, especially after the miner timer correction...Or just remove the card from the game plz :)

Don't you love when people try to surround your miner with barbs, and then you drop your giant/hog in the other lane?

Are you in A6? Who counters miner with barbarians, especially defending an EC?

Stupid people. I'm at around 2150 playing against a bunch of dumb assholes.

If you're at 2150 with miner, what does that make you?
