So I've seen your Lava Hound deck and I'm interested in it. Level 8 (far from being level 9, still lots of exp to go) and standing between 2300-2400 trophies. I normally use Lava Hound accompained by Miner, and sometimes it works, sometimes I am humiliated. My biggest problems are: combos too big to stop and hog. The thing is, sometimes I change the miner for cannon (and then I anniquilate the hog). Although I constantly find myself having problems with lack of elixir and having to deal with the opponent's collectors. So I have some questions (this is going to be kinda long) :

-How do you stop giant and hog combos? I doubt Mini Pekka alone could handle it all.

-I fear the biggest problem with me is the low leveled cards. Examples: My minions, zap and archers are still level 8, mini pekka level 5, while my ice spirit is still level 7. Still level 1 poison. On the bright side, my Balloon is level 2 and almost 3 (2 out of 4 cards). Is that one of the reasons I'm having trouble?

-As I said, my poison is still level 1. Should I use fireball instead of it? IMO it is better against Lava hound's biggest problems (minion horde, wizard, musketeer). Not only that, but if the opponent uses minion horde, you might not be able to kill that thing in time before the hound explodes. Those things drain health really fast.

-Can I exchange ice spirit for fire spirits? I feel like they are a better horde control card.
