The tornado has always been one of my favourite cards in the game and I love it because of it's versatility and the many different ways you can use it. I believe that it is still a sorta strong card even after it's multiple nerfs.

King activation
This is probably the most well known way to use the tornado. It is extremely useful against cards like the hog rider, the goblin barrel and the miner. Once the King is activated against these cards, it can deny most if all damage from these cards. However, there are some very unorthdox ways to activate king towers. One of these ways is to activate the King using the E wiz. Use the tornado to pull the E wiz two tiles away from the arena tower so the Ewiz splits his attack and hits the King Tower. This way, your crown towers will only take one and a half shots from the E Wiz. Giant and Golem can be use to activate the King too, but your need to be wary of support troops behind the tanks as they might destroy your crown tower anyways after your you pull the Golem/Giant away. This will be extremely bad for you as you would've taken a lot of damage to your king tower making it easier for them to three crown you. By pairing an Ice Spirit with tornado, you can activate your king tower when the opponent uses a balloon against you for a positive elixir trade with no damage on your tower. In 2v2, it is actually possible to activate your King tower with Executioner. You can pull the Executioner one tile to the right/left of your crown tower, and the Executioner's axe will incidentally hit the King tower. This impractical in a real match though as your tower will take over one thousand damage. In 1v1 games, this doesn't work however.
