As of now, due to a surge in elixir collector mirror, this deck has unfortunately become unusable, however replacing fire spirit with mirror will keep this deck viable. Despite the many nerfs against it, it is still a very strong deck in the meta, and sees tons of usage especially at 8k+ tropies. It's defensive may seem weak to beatdown decks but with archer queen and royal delivery it has enough defense to defend even lava hounds and golems. The objective of this deck is to out cycle royal hog counters with it's 2.9 average elixir count. You might recognize this deck but with the goblin cage, but cannon is more reliable ranged dps and a strong answer to graveyard which can gives this deck a lot of trouble. This deck has been one of the strongest ever since the release of archer queen and the hog buffs.
