In the AB2 Arena thread, I had made the case that sometimes bringing in a large arsenal of spells could actually work against you. Today I witnessed a firsthand example of this. I had used Blues to clear most of a room, and all that was left was a single pig, underneath a stone platform held up by balloons. My next three cards were Blizzard, Pig Inflater, and Ducky. The ceiling was too high above him for Pig Inflater to be any use, and Ducky wouldn’t have been able to break that ceiling or pop the balloons. So I wasted Blizzard, figuring it to be the spell I’d miss the least. The next card up was my Mighty Eagle, which I then had to waste to kill a single lousy pig (or else waste another spell AND a bird on it). When your three cards showing are all spells and no birds, you often end up in situations like this where the spells are either useless or overkill.

Lesson learned: When you bring a lot of spells into the Arena, it’s better to use them early rather than letting them pile up while you use your birds. This means being less precise in the first few rooms than you’d prefer. Usually it’s balanced out by the opponent’s use of spells no longer factoring into the competition, but I’ve still had some close shaves.
