Daily Discussion: Why Has Fire Spirits Seen Less Play?
I have personally been wondering why this is for awhile now.
Fire Spirits used to be incredibly popular, Hog Rider, RG, Mortar, decks used to run this card a ton, now Hog Rider decks rarely use them anymore.
I think a big reasoning for this is Electro Wizard, as dropping an Electro Wizard behind a unit that the Fire Spirits were behind is devastating, and can completely ruin a push.
Why do you think Fire Spirits has a drop in play? :D




A couple of things. Log/Zap are common to most decks, as well as Electro Wizard which play a role. I think it might be more effective to spend the extra 1 elixir on Goblin Gang as well. More chance of getting to the tower.
I don't know if it has anything to do with it either, but it used to be fire spirits were the natural counter and positive elixir trade to Minion Hoard. I don't see it played nearly enough due to risk of losing such a large elixir investment and volatility. Perhaps we'll see a comeback if minion hoard does.
That's a really good point, it was such a good counter to Minion Hoard awhile ago.
