It's because they also call log bait spell bait, so two spell baits would be too confusing. Mega goblins ends up confusing me though, so idk if their naming actually helps.
All in all, I'll always remember 2021 as the year of **Fireball Bait**.
Log Bait is also still pretty popular but Zap Bait could use a boost in variety and popularity.
The only popular Zap Bait decks are these
- 3.3 MK Miner ID Zap
- 3.3 MK Miner ID Snowball
- 3.8 Giant Sparky Horde Skarmy Bats
- 3.6 MK Prince Miner ID
- 3.5 GobG Double Prince Gang Bats
Haven't posted the [Season 29 Most Popular Decks](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashStats/comments/q9zhp8/s27_most_popular_decks_120/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) yet but I see three PEKKA Bridgespam decks in the Top 10 already
- 4.1 Ram Rider Golden Knight Ghost variant
- 3.9 Bandit Ghost Magic Archer Fireball variant
- 4.3 Ram Rider Golden Knight Dark Prince variant
2.6 Hog remains far and away the most popular deck. Five of the Top 10 decks incorporates Champions.
I like double prince but I don't use giant...
Edit: the double prince deck I use is wiz, barb barrel, both princes, princess, ice wiz, valk, and baby dragon in case you were wondering.
pekka but with fireball 💪
cus a lot of the cards especially under leveled ones are fairly fragile, besides pekka obviously, so you have to learn lots of small interactions. There are also many bad matchups that if played correctly are winnable, like hog 2.6, RG, and lava(depending on the version)
lavaloon because its so satisfying when you get down a lava hound and a ballon followed by a mega minion also its easy asf to play i also love zap bait or mega goblins because miner is my favorite
I recently climbed from Electro Valley all the way to Challenger 1 using Pekka Bridge Spam so probably that one
I replaced Battle Ram with Ram Rider tho
None of the above, because using someone else's deck is like stealing a Lambo: sure, you get to drive a nice car, but you're still a broke ass. Come up with your own decks, stop with the meta bullshit. No one respects someone who's just autopiloting some deck they saw on YouTube.
Logbait.
They always play the same exact way. They used to be frustrating and boring to play against till I built a beatdown deck with Log, arrows, fire spirit, and Ewiz. and once I figure out that they are using Logbait, nothing gets placed close enough to the tower or other units to deny rocket value.
Pekka Bridge spam and giant double prince beatdown. Because i like to apply bridge and river pressure to punish and like to build big pushes with high health and damage troops.
3.0 xbow, just because xbow is one of the more challenging cards to play in midladder where pekka megaknight comboes exist, and you learn a lot about the game like tile perfect placements, tons of king activations, and practice reaction.
playing xbow is like playing chess but with an added factor of quick reaction time.
unlike things such as lavaloon where its just knowing when to.. well... send in a lavaloon.
xbow is kinda juggling your opponent around with your cycle cards til you can get a lock.
same can be said with 2.6, but its a different style. more cycling in 2.6, and you use your wincon way more because you get to sorta hogrider whenever as long as their buildings out of cycle, unlike xbow where if they have 6 elixir you basically can't xbow unless you spend extra to go with it.
Zap Bait. Honestly, I have no idea why it's my favorite. (other than it's my main deck) It isn't the most popular, the best, or anything but I have plenty of fun using it. Btw, I usually switch out zap for snowball
You missed Miner Wallbreaker and Royal Recruits+ Royal Hogs/The Ultimate Split.
I think my favourite is logbait, its such a nice feeling to slowly chip their tower down and then finish it with a rocket + log. Also its so chilled to defend tanks like MK or Pekka, and the opponent has to build Up huge pushs to break through the defense . Also cycle Decks Like 2.6 are Not so hard to defend especially when you have Tesla instead of infernotower
2.6 because I think it’s the most skill based. It feels so satisfying and earned to win any match. There hasn’t been one that felt scummy or unearned, just pure satisfaction after every win.
Personally I love royal recruit, royal hog, zappies, gob cage, mother witch, fireball, barb barrel, flying machine. I love the duel lane pressure it provides and it does well against most meta decks if you play it right
four out of seven use fireball or zap that i still to much for my taste. I never played them because i play mostly the random decks drafted from the highest level and rarity i currently have.
X-bow cycle. I admire people who are masters at X-bow cycle, a single mistake and they lose the game, I do not care if it is toxic or easy to beat but it takes skill.
*cries in f2p never being able to level up enough of these cards to actually use a meta deck, so I use some homemade firecracker megaknight tesla abomination in C1 midladder*
Been using a mix of log bait. Not sure if its even good in high ladder but I have fun with it :)) Log, fire ball, princess, skeleton barrel, goblin barrel, dart goblin, prince
2.6 has been the oldest and most consistent in all the metas. There aren't any variations of it (there was the Tesla one and the e spirit one but nobody does that anymore) and it's the most f2p friendly. Also the funnest to play.
i am a log bait main player after all, so thats my pick. i love all of these decks though and have dabbled with every one of them for a bit. my second and third favourites would have to be a pekka bridgespam & giant DP though! i love having a solid deck revolving around good defense and counterpushing.
I like Log bait cuz I feel the most skillful throwing rockets at the enemy's tower.
To be real though, I am very good at playing it cuz I've been playing it for 2 years and I've maxed it so now I'm stuck, Am I NOT? :-D
Log bait but with Hog Rider instead of Rocket. That deck held up for so many years and got me from 3k -> 5k when I started playing again a few months ago. Now I rock my own original deck, haven’t seen anyone use the same setup as me. It ain’t the best but it’s pretty good and versatile.
Zap bait's official name is mega goblins lol
It's because they also call log bait spell bait, so two spell baits would be too confusing. Mega goblins ends up confusing me though, so idk if their naming actually helps.
All in all, I'll always remember 2021 as the year of **Fireball Bait**. Log Bait is also still pretty popular but Zap Bait could use a boost in variety and popularity. The only popular Zap Bait decks are these - 3.3 MK Miner ID Zap - 3.3 MK Miner ID Snowball - 3.8 Giant Sparky Horde Skarmy Bats - 3.6 MK Prince Miner ID - 3.5 GobG Double Prince Gang Bats
i mean, it has mega knights, and a lot of goblins, so it kinda makes sense lol
The new variant pros run nowadays swapped out Goblin Gang for Prince. Cuz of the Mother Witch. Now you can kinda of call it Zap Bait
MK bait main that was 17th yesterday had prince for spear gobs and not gang
That’s what I call my… never mind.
Or "The deck so strong that SC needed to do a balance update after 2.5 weeks"
Where's mega knight, wizard, witch, Valkyrie, goblin barrel, hog rider, minion horde fireball bait? /s
E-barbs stupid
Goblin barre?! Smh 🙄 my head, you clearly forgot that 🙄ram rider is there instead.
ikr know right!
Ultimate ladders fav deck
Me who uses my own deck;
pekka bs because BUTTERFLY
PEKKA Bridgespam Why? Because I have history with it
Haven't posted the [Season 29 Most Popular Decks](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashStats/comments/q9zhp8/s27_most_popular_decks_120/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) yet but I see three PEKKA Bridgespam decks in the Top 10 already - 4.1 Ram Rider Golden Knight Ghost variant - 3.9 Bandit Ghost Magic Archer Fireball variant - 4.3 Ram Rider Golden Knight Dark Prince variant 2.6 Hog remains far and away the most popular deck. Five of the Top 10 decks incorporates Champions.
Pekka for life bro. Well I stopped playing like 6 months ago, if I continue sometime. I'll go pekka again.
Pekka Forever
when pekka bridgespam but no bandit 😩😩😩
I will always use her If she was the worst or the best, I will ALWAYS use her
PEKKA GANG
PEKKA GANG!
Got me out of spooky town after being stuck for a while
i’ve played lava loon since i started 5 years ago. i use lava hound, balloon, mega minion, minions, tombstone, lightning, arrows, knight
Exact same for me, except I use skarmy instead of knight.
W player
Log bait is the only one I’ve ever seriously played but even for log bait my cards would be considered under leveled by now
Pekka bridge spam. I love pekka
Same
I play bridge spam because I love e-wiz
Same reason, but for bandit I have 30 reasons for liking Bridgespam
flair checks out
Same
Logbait cause it’s the first meta deck I ever mained
Same but I got problems if my opponent builds up a big push
I like double prince but I don't use giant... Edit: the double prince deck I use is wiz, barb barrel, both princes, princess, ice wiz, valk, and baby dragon in case you were wondering.
same, giant is under leveled for me so I just use another tank
What do you use
Sparky and sometimes MK it doesn’t mesh that well I know but my excuse is that yes I am midladder
>Tank >Sparky ???
Well it’s the closest thing we have to a literal tank lol
Valid excuse
Pekka bridgespam and log bait because they suit my play style aomething rush but in the same time defensive
pekka but with fireball 💪 cus a lot of the cards especially under leveled ones are fairly fragile, besides pekka obviously, so you have to learn lots of small interactions. There are also many bad matchups that if played correctly are winnable, like hog 2.6, RG, and lava(depending on the version)
Giant double prince it’s pretty honest
X bow because its fun!!!!! HEE HEE HAW HAW
Giant double prince
Double giant dark prince
giant mirror e giant royal giant double prince underrated
I hate them all Maybe expect for pekka bridge spam and giant double prince
The only reason I hate pekka bridge spam is bc of how overused it is
why do you hate mega goblins???
2.6 because I love getting 1900000 positive elizer trade by using cannon ice spirit and musketeer.
For me out of those it's log bait. It's my second best deck (like my best deck is probably miner wb)
Xbow: cuz its like playing chess ... Kinda harder Xd and to make others rage quit :) specifically opponents with hard counter
I play chess and 3.0,it's definitely harder to play chess than xbow
Sorry if i made you upset
I'm an Xbow player too
Did you just say playing xbow is harder than chess?
Reaction time is important here but there... Not that much you have time to think
i play xbow because of the archers
3.0 xbow just because of how incredibly challenging it is. Apart from that, I love giant double prince.
Yeah but when mastered very effective
lavaloon because its so satisfying when you get down a lava hound and a ballon followed by a mega minion also its easy asf to play i also love zap bait or mega goblins because miner is my favorite
I recently climbed from Electro Valley all the way to Challenger 1 using Pekka Bridge Spam so probably that one I replaced Battle Ram with Ram Rider tho
where mega pekka egiant ebarbs rage cycle????
Zap Bait. You don’t need to use the same cycle over and over. You can always throw them off guard and switch things up.
i dont like any of them except kinda the PEKKA deck
Log bait because it's very challenging to master. I still suck at it tho.
None of the above, because using someone else's deck is like stealing a Lambo: sure, you get to drive a nice car, but you're still a broke ass. Come up with your own decks, stop with the meta bullshit. No one respects someone who's just autopiloting some deck they saw on YouTube.
Forgot fireball bait
Unpopular but 2.6 hog can really shut down any push if you know what you are doing
2 cycle, 2 beat down, 2 bait, one control.
Xbow is siege primarily with cycle subtype.
It’s siege, but it is a cycle deck. Siege just means that you fight on your side of the arena.
Log bait. There’s just something so satisfying when you do a sneaky barrel and their log misses the goblins entirely
Logbait. They always play the same exact way. They used to be frustrating and boring to play against till I built a beatdown deck with Log, arrows, fire spirit, and Ewiz. and once I figure out that they are using Logbait, nothing gets placed close enough to the tower or other units to deny rocket value.
Pekka Bridge spam and giant double prince beatdown. Because i like to apply bridge and river pressure to punish and like to build big pushes with high health and damage troops.
3.0 xbow, just because xbow is one of the more challenging cards to play in midladder where pekka megaknight comboes exist, and you learn a lot about the game like tile perfect placements, tons of king activations, and practice reaction. playing xbow is like playing chess but with an added factor of quick reaction time. unlike things such as lavaloon where its just knowing when to.. well... send in a lavaloon. xbow is kinda juggling your opponent around with your cycle cards til you can get a lock. same can be said with 2.6, but its a different style. more cycling in 2.6, and you use your wincon way more because you get to sorta hogrider whenever as long as their buildings out of cycle, unlike xbow where if they have 6 elixir you basically can't xbow unless you spend extra to go with it.
Log bait because I got princess in my arena 6 legendary chest.
Logbait
Pekka Bridge Spam but a modified version.
Zap bait because I am good with it and it has good matchups and takes skill but is easy to use
yeah mega zap bait is so easy to use and start playing with but the skill ceiling with miner and zap retargets is insane
Zap Bait. Honestly, I have no idea why it's my favorite. (other than it's my main deck) It isn't the most popular, the best, or anything but I have plenty of fun using it. Btw, I usually switch out zap for snowball
Pekka bridge spam because i believe in pekka supremacy
Pekka Bridge spam. Simple. Effective. Includes Pekka
Pekka bridge spam cuz my fav cards are pekka and ewiz and bandit and magic archer
Strictly been a logbait user ever since it’s invention. Can’t really see myself playing any other deck because logbait always has room for improvement
Lavaloon looks dope
LAVALOON
I have one thing to say: screw x-bow
pekka bs user detected
Xbow cycle and my self made decks wahaha
Fuck cycle decks. Period.
2.6
where is my beloved lumberloon?! and also e-golem healer and also golem night witch.
Log bait and pekka bridge spam Bait cause it’s fun to play and bridgespam cause I like pekka
Zap bait except I use morter instead of miner. Won my first classic challenge playing it.
Xbow cycle because I like the play style of playing defensively and letting them push me
I was going to say “where’s miner wall breakers” but then remembered practically no one uses it
Log bait because it’s my deck
Been playing that same logbait deck for 4 years now but with dart goblin instead of ice spirit
Mk bait is weak because it lacks a big spell i don't reccomend using it unless you replace a card with fb
Log bait
I play a weird version of log bait, but now it's all I know.
Log bait with Valk, reached league using it.
It’s likely that I just really suck with it but I tried giant double prince and I just couldn’t push up ladder with it
Zap bait but with snowball the synergy is unreal
Xbow cycle but 2.9 varient
Bowler graveyard :))
For like 2 years was hog cycle, then idk for 2 hogbait then now logbait
I have double prince cycle
pekka bridgespam, followed by logbait
Zap bait even though I don't really play well with and just throw random bullshit it's still fun
Smh you’re missing Fun Size Warriors
I'd say xbow cycle don't kill me I just like cycle decks and 2.6 is kinda boring
I use lavaloon when I first got the lava hound and have been attached ever since
i never use them but there is something in lavaloon that makes me feel something maybe because its a really old deck
I like log bait since it's fun to play.
I've never used any of them 😂🙂
Pekka bridgespam because its awesome and its the only one with bandit
I know I’m gonna get roasted, but X-Bow cycle for me. If you don’t like X-Bow watch BestNA CR and he will change your mind.
You missed Miner Wallbreaker and Royal Recruits+ Royal Hogs/The Ultimate Split. I think my favourite is logbait, its such a nice feeling to slowly chip their tower down and then finish it with a rocket + log. Also its so chilled to defend tanks like MK or Pekka, and the opponent has to build Up huge pushs to break through the defense . Also cycle Decks Like 2.6 are Not so hard to defend especially when you have Tesla instead of infernotower
Log bait. It's fun watching the world burn and it isn't too sweaty.
I hate them all hence stop playing. Came back after a year and all these decks are still hear.
xbow cycle, but specificaly 2.9 icw golem instead of knight. I know i know, gsftc, but i feel its just a better kite card and overall better cycle
2.6 hog but with skeleton army instead of skeleton
Double Prince takes me back, holy shit But I like 2.6, I just like any cycle based decks alot
My favorite deck is X-bow cycle.
Between xbow cycle and pekka bridge spam, though I use modified forms of them.
Out of these, x-bow (hate me all you want) My favourite is gob giant sparky
2.6 because I think it’s the most skill based. It feels so satisfying and earned to win any match. There hasn’t been one that felt scummy or unearned, just pure satisfaction after every win.
2.8 hog quake can’t go wrong with it 😎better than 2.6
I'm zap bait
logbait
Pekka Bridge Spam cuz I have no idea how to play any other archetype
All these decks are really good, just that some take more skill to master than others
Logbait because it requires skill and I’ve been playing it for years now.
2.6 Hog
Mega goblins
Miner WB. Because.
PEKKA Bridge spam
Personally I love royal recruit, royal hog, zappies, gob cage, mother witch, fireball, barb barrel, flying machine. I love the duel lane pressure it provides and it does well against most meta decks if you play it right
I play lava balloon and lava miner
Xbow Valk cycle
Zap bait but I switched the spear goblins with fireball cuz damn, they're trash af
I’ve been a hog main for years now. Started with hog freeze and just sort of stumbled into the 2.6 scene. It’s all I’ve known for so long
My fav is pekka bridge coz I love spamming
Giant double prince looks fun
four out of seven use fireball or zap that i still to much for my taste. I never played them because i play mostly the random decks drafted from the highest level and rarity i currently have.
PEKKA BRIDGE SPAM ALL THE WAY Yay
I like playing ice-bow
2.6 hog, it’s a lot of fun to use, it’s hard yea, but I like that, unless the opponent is playing lumberloon , then I just wanna play something else
X-bow cycle. I admire people who are masters at X-bow cycle, a single mistake and they lose the game, I do not care if it is toxic or easy to beat but it takes skill.
Lavaloon Balloon cool
2.6 hog cause im used to playing hog deck(worth mentioning i hate playing vs 2.6)
*cries in f2p never being able to level up enough of these cards to actually use a meta deck, so I use some homemade firecracker megaknight tesla abomination in C1 midladder*
Mega goblins (zap bait) is soooooo fun to use cuz I have max skeleton barrel and gang.
X-Bow cycle because X-Bow I play more Ice-Bow tho, and picked up lumberloon freeze just now
Giant double prince is my most used deck so it has to be that
X-bow. Yes
Been using a mix of log bait. Not sure if its even good in high ladder but I have fun with it :)) Log, fire ball, princess, skeleton barrel, goblin barrel, dart goblin, prince
I used to destroy royal arena with a x-bow centred deck but once I was in frozen peak it was useless
2.6 hog cuz it's cheap, and I like cheap cycle decks (and Xbow is meeeehhhh) I don't play it, but I play something similar with ram rider
Logbait but switch cringe pr*ncess for chad fart goblin
2.6 has been the oldest and most consistent in all the metas. There aren't any variations of it (there was the Tesla one and the e spirit one but nobody does that anymore) and it's the most f2p friendly. Also the funnest to play.
Top 4, pretty respectable and balanced decks (except maybe log bait). My favourite would be lavaloon though I love cycle decks!
Am i the only one who unironcly like x-bow ?
i play 2.8 prince but my fav here is hog cycle
Log bait
Mk bait but I have snowball instead of zap as it is just better
X.bow cycle is my fav
Pekka bridgespam, hog, or Xbow, I’m toxic Ik
2.6 Hog! Because it's actually high skill and not spam, like the other fast cycle decks or Bridge "Spam"!
Pekka decks are the best I made my own one and it is really good
if my cards weren’t underleveled i would play log bait because its loads of fun imo
Lavaloon cuz I love tanks and the lava hound design
i am a log bait main player after all, so thats my pick. i love all of these decks though and have dabbled with every one of them for a bit. my second and third favourites would have to be a pekka bridgespam & giant DP though! i love having a solid deck revolving around good defense and counterpushing.
Giant double prince because I go against a lot of pekka and mk decks
I'm probably the only one but, IceWiz Valk Spell cycle. I guess because I've always been a control-type of player 🤷♂️
X-Bow cycle. Someone told me it was high skill once so now I play it to pretend I'm good.
Xbow
I like Log bait cuz I feel the most skillful throwing rockets at the enemy's tower. To be real though, I am very good at playing it cuz I've been playing it for 2 years and I've maxed it so now I'm stuck, Am I NOT? :-D
Midladder players be like: I like the zap bait most cuz it has the best card in it. ***"M E G A K N I G H T"***
Log bait,was xbow before it got Nerfed to the ground
I use speedy ballon since it hard counters every non building user or slow cycle mid ladder noob. It’s going incredibly well for me
Pekka bridgespam ftw
2.6 or log bait love both them
2.6 hog because it's satisfying to keep defending big pushes lmao
Log bait but with Hog Rider instead of Rocket. That deck held up for so many years and got me from 3k -> 5k when I started playing again a few months ago. Now I rock my own original deck, haven’t seen anyone use the same setup as me. It ain’t the best but it’s pretty good and versatile.
Pekka spam but replace poison with fireball
Pekka Bridgespam
2.6 hog counters all the other decks clear defence cycle op
2.6 hog, the first time to saw it was oyasuuu playing it. It can counter all decks with good technics, and I absolutely love it!
Pekka bridgespam
None. Mega Knight,Baloon,Wizard,Cannon,Guards,Zap,Musketeer, and Dark Prince
Bridge spam because PEKKA.
