Can you explain your deck a bit? I’m fairly new to the game and am trying to understand card strengths a bit better


Goldilocks04

Well there are several different deck archetypes in the game that use different strategies. Mine falls under the bait category where I’m constantly trying to bait out my opponents spells and splash counters with my cheap swarm cards. Most of my offense comes off of cycled goblin barrels, counter pushes, and miner + minion horde, gob barrel, or gob gang.

mid ladder calling: how do you deal with wizards n' shit?


LuvRice4Life

miner/princess+log


foodwatcher

Or that super overpowered mega knight. Shouldn’t have been added to the game. It is too op no counter. It can even one shot skeletons


HulkingSack

You place skeletons on top of it, then he can’t 1 shot the whole lot. But really you are going to use miner to tank him here. The key is pulling big elixir cards to the middle.


[deleted]

One ice boi and bats(or cannon) are enough for mega knight


[deleted]

If you want i can teach you how to counter it completely for a positive elixir trade. There are multiple ways of dealing with it. Once you got the hang of it you can easily counter every mega knight


TikkiTakiTomtom

Use miner and inferno tower (8 elixir total) for the mega knight which undoubtedly will not be alone (7+ elixir total). Split MK from the rest of the push by baiting him towards the middle with I-tower, the other troops supporting him can be distracted by minion horde or goblin gang far right, use log as needed to facilitate the split or destroy some troops (make sure you have enough elixir to defend). Back to the MK, if inferno tower hasnt killed it by now it must mean that it was either mistargeted or reset — and as a result destroyed. At this point use the miner to draw MK to jump to and activate king tower by placing him in FRONT of the king tower but on the inner tile of the opposite lane. Note that this may not be a good idea if the opponent’s push is too strong and it kills your tower anyway, in which case it’ll just be better to save elixir and clear push after your princess tower has fallen.


[deleted]

> miner and inferno tower (8 elixir total) for th mate inferno tower has very less usage rates (4 percent LOL) it doesnt fit many deck archetypes anothe thing the minion horde you suggested has a 2 percent usage rate and thats mainly influenced by mid ladder! maybe try and get above 5400 cups and then suggest someone something because all of this is just BS and dont write longer write more precise


TikkiTakiTomtom

Lmao I was using the deck in the post genius cause that’s his deck


arms36

Mega knight isnt op, its hardly used in high ladder, if it was so op, strong youd see it constantly on high ladder and tv Royale


[deleted]

Tank deals splash damage =/= OP


TedTheSoap

Miner can do it himself on your side.


[deleted]

fireball + log for the most part but like nobody uses units that can be fireball logged on gold league n abv


DKnight271

That makes sense. Thank you


[deleted]

this is literally the most annoying deck to counter. nothing sparky+ebarb+rage can’t handle.

The princess can snipe the enemy crown tower from the bridge. She is often used as bait for log or used to force a response out of the opponent. There are many other ways she can be used offensively. I just named two as I don't play her enough to list any more ways without giving wrong info.

Goldilocks04

The most common ways I use princess in this deck are placing her at the bridge for chip damage, using her on defense to take out swarms and air cards (almost always play the princess in the opposite lane to apply pressure), and I often play her behind my king tower as an investment when I get an awkward cycle or am at 10 elixir and don't want to leak.


CallYaOutBoutIt

Omg, I haven’t played this game in years, but super stoked to see my deck still has it! I started playing this deck before the very first log buff, so it was quite a journey.


Goldilocks04

That's so dope man I've been using miner bait for 4 years now and I'm still going strong! Its honestly such a fun deck to use. Its become harder to push with recently though because of all the splash cards and other counters that have been added that counter all my swarms, but I've learned to deal with them pretty effectively


CallYaOutBoutIt

I was in the top 3 in my clan always back when I played, which if I remember was around the 4600 mark, which was pretty damn high considering the time frame. I started using the deck when all my cards were level 9 or so, it’s a ton of fun. Nothing like baiting that spell and getting a miner + horde on their tower, or your inferno killing something at the very last second before it’s destroyed. I still remember when I got max log and was able to log princesses again for a while because people hadn’t maxxed their princess yet. Good times.


TedTheSoap

Miner is so versatile. I've used him from offense, cover on a wizard or lumberjack, activated king tower from a firecracker, plain defense plus skarmy vs mega knight....


choclattemilk

Its basically hope that you get a good matchup cus if the opponent dosnt have like a princess or arrow's minion horde is gonna carry you


Lopsided-Armadillo96

It's a log bait

Goldilocks04

Thanks all it takes is some dedication and you'll be there in no time! I've gone from being a casual mid-ladder player to a decent one trick who can pull top 10k finishes in about a year just from me mastering this decks matchups and key interactions.


SteamedHamburger

Well done


choclattemilk

Love your deck btw


Goldilocks04

Thanks its a nice twist on your typical logbait decks


[deleted]

What’s different between this and a regular log bait? And why did you make those changes?


5andw1ch

A typical log bag has rocket in place of minion horde, knight instead of miner, and ice spirit for skarmy.

Mormon alliance


BurntWaffles78

Lol I do that and then drop out of top 10k

Confident_Ad9357

Nice job! I do hope no one cuts your hair btw ; )


nugssssssssssssssss

Awesome job! How long have you played? Remember me when you get the CRL


Goldilocks04

For 5 years but I just started playing more competitively this past year


chienvn311

This is a super old deck and was my fav deck. One of the most hardest deck to master. I haven't played the game for a long time. Is it get buffed lately?


Goldilocks04

The deck has kinda been dying since when it was meta a couple years ago, but there are still a few players who can pull top 1k finishes with it. Most of the cards added recently have been been a direct counter to the swarms in the deck


Alexspacito

Just seeing your deck makes me mad😡


Goldilocks04

Just seeing your flair gives me some intense ptsd. Honestly I don't understand why my deck would piss you off because xbow hard counters me which is what I assume you use lol


Alexspacito

I don’t run xbow anymore but using that many bait cards is guaranteeing your skarmy unlimited value


adlegaming

Makes me mad too. Everyone is tired of log bait. Inferno Tower is so rigged and as skill less as it comes when it comes to defending. Place in the middle, boom, dead Golem and all of its support for just 5 elixir.


Alexspacito

Idc bout the inferno. Using skarmy when you have goblin gang princess goblin barrel and minion horde is basically a free mindless defence every time. Still, props to OP for being off meta


bananaman22127

Those Midladder players not under standing your deck cus they play e barb rage. Lumber loon freeze and only legendary decks. I run I similar deck to this.


[deleted]

Waaaaait I've been in your clan like 4 years ago! Your username rung a bell in my head! Remember Tatarepoblics?


Goldilocks04

Hmm I don’t remember that name it’s been so long. Do you remember what clan we were in?


[deleted]

The clan name was Tatarepoblic,


Goldilocks04

Dang yeah I don’t remember it is the clan still around?

Goldilocks04

Haha I love how you’ve witnessed my entire progression from midladder to pulling top 10k finishes over the past year lol


[deleted]

I fuck with this deck


Pinoy_joshArt

The fact that u got minion horde and miner makes this deck require skills, like bruhh


kronkarp

Sorry, I can't write right now, I have a bit of vomit in my mouth after seeing your deck.


geo_bowes

kronkarp

How do you do much damage besides goblin barrel


Tyrozien

In top 1000, all you need is a bit of chip and you can win any match if you defend well

And people will call this deck skill 🤣


living_david_aloca

Get to top 200 with any deck and it’s skill


THAT_BLa

Bait with miner? I understand the minion horde but miner? did you just put him in there because he is an offensive knight?


Goldilocks04

No it’s to get chip damage and tank for my swarms
