Because it provides 2 of the things mortar decks need in one card, anti swarm killer, like the log, and mini tank, from the barbarian that comes out.

Same applies with X-bow.

Also im seeing Barbarian barrel in synergy with graveyard decks now, considering for them its a 2 elixir card that can get agro on the tower quicker than an ice golem.

I guess thats why they decreased the range now that i think about it, its meant to be a fully defensive card that can compliment counterpushes
