*had a 27|27 forest spirit before*
So, what you are saying, 5 dmg. is the upper limit?
No, just an example.
When played, this and Spirit both have 1 atk, but Aether Dagger cost 1 more quantum, and Sword cost 7 more.
Each turn Spirit can +2 atk at 1
Aether Dagger only +1, which is slower, at the cost of 3
, which is higher
Aether Sword +1 at the cost of 1
, which is still higher than Spirit
So, what I am saying, is a Forest Spirit IS easily destroyed, but is compensated by its power. A stack of Aether Dagger/Sword is hard to destroy, but is less powerful than a Spirit
