Why this card had been nerfed in a previous update?
It's one of the less used cards of all time, and I don't think it had ever been considered overpowered.

Comparing it with Trigger trap I think it's too expensive.

IMO it is not that bad... normally you play it when tower x5-x9... that's 5-9 damage for a common and 7 rec.
Comparing with other common tower-crushers, it deals very much damage. Only elven-archer and perfect shot (both also fixed to a condition) or stone-gargoyle (much more expensive) do equal damage.

We should rather think about how to nerf trigger trap ;-) especially as it doesn't use the usual ressources for destruction victory.

btw. I think the main-reason, why it is used so rarely, is that it isn't found with the tower:- filter...

I'm not convinced that removing Far sight and increasing the cost while also raising the damage cap from 4 to 9 was so much a nerf as a lateral adjustment. It's a very different card now, but it can end the game (with Gentle touch) much more easily than before.

It also had Skirmisher. It was fun seeing Royal dragoons being discarded by a 1r common card :D
Anyway, I feel it's weaker from a damage/cost ratio perspective. It rarely does damage >7. Maybe in hidden mode where you have the benefit of "surprising" the enemy.

I said it before and will say it again here. Any damage inflicted directly to tower should be counted as 1.5 (if not 2) points of regular attack. So 6-8 direct tower damage is 9-12 attack. It's actually good for a common, even for keywordless one.

I definitely agree with NG_Beholder. (Though I don't really get why the original card was changed, since I don't think there was anything wrong with it. The new card doesn't seem to be a nerf or a buff really - it's just different).

Skirmisher can also be counter-productive: As it "only" discards the card, each discarded common (unicorn, war wolf, ghost rider...) can help the opponent get better cards... e.g. Royal dragoons ;-)
(okay... only in hidden games relevant)

However... the possible tower-damage is imo also in a non-hidden-game high. As normally tower-crusher-decks give several cards on hand to reduce enemy tower, while the enemy often has no tower+ (or maybe one giving +10), you can "plan" how to get enemy tower to the "wanted" height. (even when opponent has a tower+ not divisible by 10, you can plan it)

Well, as we all said before, compared to another common tower- cards, this one is a bit strong.
I have an idea how to rework it:

Common, 7R
Enemy tower: -N+1, N = #Enemy tower/7.

Enemy tower/damage:
7/2
30/5
45/7
46/8
100/15

So it won't be so effective as finisher and second turn card, but would give tower- deck a chance against tower+ decks.

While that may make the card more interesting, using 7 as a denominator makes it really difficult to do the math without a calculator. 10's and 5's can be done no problem, but 7 just makes the math unnecessarily complicated at a glance.

Fair point. So we can make it -(N+2), N = #Enemy tower/10.
