A perfectly constructed Spawner deck abandons the traditional concept of 'pushes' and instead relies on creating a relentless, automated engine of infinite pressure.

If you enjoy slowly suffocating your opponents and watching them panic as the map fills with your troops, this guide is for you.

The Foundation of the City

The Furnace provides massive splash-damage value, instantly killing enemy swarms and forcing the opponent to respond to the fire spirits before they connect with the tower.

You must stagger your building placements perfectly; never place two huts touching each other, or a single enemy Poison spell will destroy your entire engine.

• The Tombstone is an excellent cheap addition.
• Always know the opponent's heavy spell cycle.
• Your goal in single elixir is simply to set up one or two buildings and survive.

Protecting the Engine

Because your buildings cost so much elixir, you must fill the rest of your deck with incredibly efficient, cheap defensive support units.

You also need a heavy spell of your own (usually Poison or Fireball) to destroy the opponent's defensive units that get stuck trying to clear your massive swarms.

The Slow Crush

Playing a Spawner deck is not about making massive, flashy plays; it is about slow, methodical strangulation.

Build the city, protect the infrastructure, and watch the endless wave wash over them.
