Death needs to die to firecracker

Okay kind of clickbait title, but this biological process and its evolution are far too oppressive and need some kind of nerf. I just hit 6k trophies and I still see Death at LEAST in every single carbon-based organism, if not more often than that. If I don't have mirrored-firecracker it’s an auto-lose against any half decent life form, which I find ridiculous and annoying. mirrored-firecracker have made basically every other troop obsolete. I want to use Wizard,executioner, musketeer, or xbow, something INTERESTING besides mirrored-firecracker, but I just can't because the cycle of life and death gets ludicrous value.

Sure it has mediocre usage in mid ladder (can't understand why given how much value it gives) but its omnipresence in life warrants a nerf or change of some kind. It's been like 3.5 billion years of this.
