This just doesn’t happen in the end-game. Here’s what happens when you get there.

To help, also, let’s define a comparison ratio: cheese 🧀 being kills per mana point spent.

As someone else said - none of my troops has less than 40-odd Armour, so Bone Dragon puts a _minimum_ of 18-20 _extra_ skulls on the board, and will one-shot whatever I have in front, and typically chain to kill the second troop too. Having left my third troop with no Armour. That’s 2.5 dead troops for only 14 mana. That gives a cheese ratio of 0.179 🧀

By contrast, the other super-kill spells / over-powered spells:

- EK: 25 true damage to two troops, so two casts is two kills, total 28 mana: Cheese ratio is 0.071 🧀
- Maw: eat one troop and let’s charitably say create enough mana to half kill another: 1.5 kills for 24 mana, ratio is 0.063 🧀
- Mab: four casts will usually clear the board: 4 kills for 60 mana, ratio is 0.067 🧀
- Gard: three casts will clear the board: 4 kills for 72 mana, ratio is 0.056 🧀 (he gets a stilton-ish 0.083 🧀 if you manage it in two casts)
- Famine: timed right, is one kill for 20 mana, ratio is 0.05 🧀
- War (yeah, havin’ a laugh), two casts will kill anything, thats 1 for 48 mana, or only 0.021 🧀

TLDR:

- BD is the most efficient killer in end-game by a very long way
- understanding cheese 🧀 is the key to success
