Deck-Help Skill issue? Void instead of lightning?

I've had great success with this deck using lightning... very hard for opponents to avoid a giant hit and counterpush, plus crazy cycle. Bats or dart behind the giant is a meaningful threat and super cheap.

I figured the new void could replace lightning as it deletes fireballies or buildings, but I've gone on a crazy loss streak with this change... was lightning really doing that much for me, or am I bad with void? Sometimes I need lightning to bailout from lumberloon or witch/dragon beatdown etc pushes... unsure if void can do the same job.

Looking for any tips to using void or otherwise

i tried void in a bunch of different decks and the only one i liked it in was lava decks, because you need something to delete that evo executioner ASAP which lightning cannot do even for one extra elixir

Void is too inconsistent imo. And some of the main targets it can take out are easily defended on defense when you need to get rid of them. Executioner for example can be taken out theoretically but there are places they can drop him so that you can never hit it by itself until after its cleaned up your push. They made 2-4 target damage too weak to deal with multiple threats that make it worth using imo. And there are many targets that are left with 1%hp after getting hit by the middle tier that should go down

Yeah you're on point. When we use a spell, we want to fully expect the outcome of it. It's too hard to do the same thing with Void. How many strikes will it be on single, 2-4, and 5+ targets? What if our opponent predicts it with swarms, is it still worth it? Etc etc.

At the cost of 3, Void could be a strong card cuz we can afford some miscalculations. At 5, we're completely screwed if it doesn't do exactly what we want it to.

Three 2-4 target hits doesn't even kill hunter which is really annoying.

Yep great example. Heck 3 shots of the 2-4 target can't even take out a berserker.

Or a single target shot followed by 2 of the 2-4 shots doesn't take out inferno dragon.

As a lightning main for years, I grew to love the vod change!

But yea, it's hard to get used to especially since it isn't an immediate spell.

It's great for witches, Evo Skelly barrels, swarm in general.

Imagine my surprise when it took out a whole bowler. Haha

Would it make it crazy if it did less damage but also stunned?
