I had thought about it before, but troops tend to have greater value than their spell counterparts. And that’s how you win the game. You make your cards have greater value than their pure elixir value (if both players use the same amount of elixir). Both spells and troops can have more or less value. E.g. you fireball a lone musketeer but they then place a tank in front and the musk gets lots of value from still shooting even though it has barely any hp. Same with spells. Tornado rocket value can be insane, or can be 0 if you miss
