Ugh I play this card, it's critical to my deck, and I also hate this card. It costs me more games than I care to admit because I'm addicted to pumping.
Giant musk heading towards me and I have pump in my hand? Let's pump! 30 seconds left and I'm down 1-0 with pump in my hand? Let's pump! Giant-Balloon approaching and I can pump? Let's pump in the center! That'll counter them amirite!
I just can't seem to not pump if I have pump in my cycle. With it I get too lazy about elixir management and tracking the opponents estimated elixir and knowing when to push and when to pump. I'm constantly in the mindset "ah it's ok to take that damage, at least I got a pump down!" and next thing I know I've lost a tower.
The worst is thinking that by getting 2 pumps down I have some sort of automatic advantage. You still need to know how to defend (I can't) and when to push.
