Deck:
Pros/Cons:
Pros:
- Great against elixir-heavy decks as a quick push with a hog and goblins can often wipe out their tower if they don’t have enough elixir to defend.
- Provides a refreshing sight from the elite-barbarian and mega minion flurry in the current meta.
- Fast-paced, and allows you to catch your opponent off guard.
- Anything can turn into a counter push with the addition of a miner.
Cons:
- Weak against air decks. If you encounter an air deck, try to rush the opposite lane with a quick pig push, and then defend for your life with minions and an ice wizard.
- If the opponent has something like barbarians or elite barbarians, it may be hard to beat as your hog rider will get decimated. Try to predict with a fireball and zap.
- Might be hard to get accustomed to if you’re switching from a beatdown deck.
- A bad starting hand can be dangerous, especially if your opponent starts with a quick push.
Strategy/Combos:
- Miner + Anything can be dangerous. The miner can catch your opponent off guard at any time, and if they’re not prepared, the tower will be gone in a matter of seconds.
- Pig push. If they don’t have a hard counter to your hog, you will be guaranteed damage on their tower.
- Don’t rush your fireball. The meta is full of glass cannons right now, and the fireball is perfect to dispose of those.
- There are two legendary cards in this deck. If you don’t have one of them, you can replace the ice wizard with something like a princess or even a normal wizard. The miner, on the other hand, is harder to replace. I recommend a hog trifecta if you don’t have the minor.
Conclusion:
This deck has worked wonders for me in legendary arena, and I hope it will do the same for you. Read this guide along with the other guides on the site to have a good idea on how to succeed in Clash Royale. If it doesn’t work for you, don’t worry! Maybe it doesn’t fit your play style. Try to find something that does.
As always, best of luck on your adventures, and keep on clashing!
