True Elixir management isn't just about not overspending; it's about gaining an Elixir advantage. Positive Elixir Trades are paramount: defending an opponent's 6-Elixir push with only 3 Elixir. Learn to 'Elixir pump' by playing a cheap card at the back when at 10 Elixir, allowing your Elixir to regenerate while the card slowly walks to the bridge. Don't always play a card immediately at 10 Elixir; sometimes waiting for your opponent to make the first move allows for a better counter-push.
