Don't over react to the new poison spell

It seems that some clans are completely abandoning the war castle compositions that were previously used prior to the implementation of the poison spell.  It is true that the new poison spell is very effective at killing archers, wizards, and witches.  You must remember that they still have to pull the castle and group the troops in order to kill all the troops effectively.  If you position your castle properly they will still invest good troops in order to do the castle pull.  If they don't pull the castle they run the risk of taking high damage prior to deploying the spell.

The reason I am mentioning this is that we have been seeing predominately level 5 dragons and valkyries.  Both of these troops can defend well when they surprise the attacking army, but are not extremely effective when they expect them to be in the castle.  This has led to some bases being much easier to three star than before.  Remember to always try different combinations and don't be consistent in all of your war castles.  Make them use an attack on a base to find out what is in the castle, as opposed to them already knowing because all the bases on your war map have the same troops.

In our current war, they were so worried about the new poison spell that they even tried putting a healer in a castle:
Perhaps they were just trying to be funny, but this was a complete waste of resources and provided no challenge to the attacker resulting in an immediate three star attack.  Just remember, don't panic about the poison spell and have castle diversity amongst all of your war bases.
