Not really a thread to argue about such things, but 20 gold is not really small potatos for a newbie. And using slayer wand to kill him is probably the most optimal play unless you can kill him, or move him out of the way... He practicaly IS the map, to me bombing him with the wand is sort of like prepping Binlor to remove all walls out of a level, only cheezier.
If the newbies really need to be able to one-click kill him, then he is simply too challenging and could be toned down. After all it is supposed to be a HARD map... Without him it's just doubledoom with one boss who you can stack protections against and 150 CP, and if you pay him, at least it's Double Doom with 20 less gold. And doubledoom's can be harder than this simply by spawning the "wrong" bosses (and having the same layout as Dragon Isles).
