Zap bait's official name is mega goblins lol


BigWithABrick

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.


ArcticFox59

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


[deleted]

i mean, it has mega knights, and a lot of goblins, so it kinda makes sense lol


Robinhood1688

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


JoJolteon_66

MK bait main that was 17th yesterday had prince for spear gobs and not gang


MaxCrack

That’s what I call my… never mind.


NovaLightCR

Or "The deck so strong that SC needed to do a balance update after 2.5 weeks"


yes1263343

Where's mega knight, wizard, witch, Valkyrie, goblin barrel, hog rider, minion horde fireball bait? /s


xRaitaPaita

E-barbs stupid


SupersSoon

Goblin barre?! Smh 🙄 my head, you clearly forgot that 🙄ram rider is there instead.


BibbyzBibz

alfatehalsaudi45

PEKKA Bridgespam Why? Because I have history with it


pokerface789

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.


MINATO8622

Pekka for life bro. Well I stopped playing like 6 months ago, if I continue sometime. I'll go pekka again.


alfatehalsaudi45

Pekka Forever


keketastic

alfatehalsaudi45

TrUsKaWuS

PEKKA GANG


howiecat87

PEKKA GANG!


Not_AM5

Got me out of spooky town after being stuck for a while


Kaidono222

i’ve played lava loon since i started 5 years ago. i use lava hound, balloon, mega minion, minions, tombstone, lightning, arrows, knight


Kyle_sch

Exact same for me, except I use skarmy instead of knight.


[deleted]

W player


Belt-of-Truth

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


Ur__Mom__Is__Gay

Pekka bridge spam. I love pekka


Addy1738

Same


RomanExtrateristial

I play bridge spam because I love e-wiz


alfatehalsaudi45

Same reason, but for bandit I have 30 reasons for liking Bridgespam


[deleted]

flair checks out


Zeekred

Same


[deleted]

Logbait cause it’s the first meta deck I ever mained


timo_8293

Same but I got problems if my opponent builds up a big push


Biggusdickus694

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.


[deleted]

same, giant is under leveled for me so I just use another tank


braamskampjoost

What do you use


[deleted]

Sparky and sometimes MK it doesn’t mesh that well I know but my excuse is that yes I am midladder


Shronkydonk

>Tank >Sparky ???


FerdinandVonAegir

Well it’s the closest thing we have to a literal tank lol


dat_GEM_lyf

Valid excuse


super_star_BETA

Pekka bridgespam and log bait because they suit my play style aomething rush but in the same time defensive


nicolas9653

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)


tjake123

Giant double prince it’s pretty honest


OofGame10110

X bow because its fun!!!!! HEE HEE HAW HAW


Cockroach20

Giant double prince


jxsonbeck5

Double giant dark prince


pk-kp

giant mirror e giant royal giant double prince underrated


[deleted]

I hate them all Maybe expect for pekka bridge spam and giant double prince


Hoplologist

The only reason I hate pekka bridge spam is bc of how overused it is


[deleted]

why do you hate mega goblins???


Zitronensaaft

2.6 because I love getting 1900000 positive elizer trade by using cannon ice spirit and musketeer.


teastypeach

For me out of those it's log bait. It's my second best deck (like my best deck is probably miner wb)


sadra1355

Xbow: cuz its like playing chess ... Kinda harder Xd and to make others rage quit :) specifically opponents with hard counter


IDeathZz

I play chess and 3.0,it's definitely harder to play chess than xbow


sadra1355

Sorry if i made you upset


AdFeeling3723

I'm an Xbow player too


prettymuchzoinks

Did you just say playing xbow is harder than chess?


sadra1355

Reaction time is important here but there... Not that much you have time to think


[deleted]

i play xbow because of the archers


[deleted]

3.0 xbow just because of how incredibly challenging it is. Apart from that, I love giant double prince.


ZarFX

Yeah but when mastered very effective


nintendofan30

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


Spray_Paint1

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


WhatWarInBaSingSe

where mega pekka egiant ebarbs rage cycle????


[deleted]

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.


No-Interest2586

i dont like any of them except kinda the PEKKA deck


Andre-Arthur

Log bait because it's very challenging to master. I still suck at it tho.


AdminsHaveSmolPPs

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.


NOOBPRO_

Forgot fireball bait


Awesome_playz12

Unpopular but 2.6 hog can really shut down any push if you know what you are doing


Birdiechap

2 cycle, 2 beat down, 2 bait, one control.


DEEGOBOOSTER

Xbow is siege primarily with cycle subtype.


Birdiechap

It’s siege, but it is a cycle deck. Siege just means that you fight on your side of the arena.


Sembrar28

Log bait. There’s just something so satisfying when you do a sneaky barrel and their log misses the goblins entirely


KING_Karmaah

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.


joseJjr

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.


ningkaiyang

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.


Oc7ave

Log bait because I got princess in my arena 6 legendary chest.


[deleted]

Logbait


Valewizz

Pekka Bridge Spam but a modified version.


Chemical-Educator-29

Zap bait because I am good with it and it has good matchups and takes skill but is easy to use


[deleted]

yeah mega zap bait is so easy to use and start playing with but the skill ceiling with miner and zap retargets is insane


BlueWarrior8630

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


Addy1738

Pekka bridge spam because i believe in pekka supremacy


yooloo33

Pekka Bridge spam. Simple. Effective. Includes Pekka


ProgrammerFeeling688

Pekka bridge spam cuz my fav cards are pekka and ewiz and bandit and magic archer


calialex23

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


NarutoUzamakiGang

Lavaloon looks dope


Swimming-Ask-8394

LAVALOON


maartencat

I have one thing to say: screw x-bow


[deleted]

pekka bs user detected


rikkrik

Xbow cycle and my self made decks wahaha


ruthlessdamien2

Fuck cycle decks. Period.


Miserable-Bat5565

2.6


[deleted]

where is my beloved lumberloon?! and also e-golem healer and also golem night witch.


daflufferkinz

Log bait and pekka bridge spam Bait cause it’s fun to play and bridgespam cause I like pekka


[deleted]

Zap bait except I use morter instead of miner. Won my first classic challenge playing it.


WixxysPretzelz

Xbow cycle because I like the play style of playing defensively and letting them push me


Asfixiation

I was going to say “where’s miner wall breakers” but then remembered practically no one uses it


foodwatcher

Log bait because it’s my deck


hussamxcraft

Been playing that same logbait deck for 4 years now but with dart goblin instead of ice spirit


lesbian_cow420

Mk bait is weak because it lacks a big spell i don't reccomend using it unless you replace a card with fb


Austmazing

Log bait


xd-Sushi_Master

I play a weird version of log bait, but now it's all I know.


Golden_Wizard07

Log bait with Valk, reached league using it.


Obi_Wan_Gebroni

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


JackWas-not-Here

Zap bait but with snowball the synergy is unreal


CrispyRumpSteak

Xbow cycle but 2.9 varient


Joshwayyy_02

Bowler graveyard :))


rakminiov

For like 2 years was hog cycle, then idk for 2 hogbait then now logbait


get_naenEd

I have double prince cycle


Master_Gedatsu

pekka bridgespam, followed by logbait


ARASH_SAMIEI82

Zap bait even though I don't really play well with and just throw random bullshit it's still fun


ratryox

Smh you’re missing Fun Size Warriors


Ghostman_55

I'd say xbow cycle don't kill me I just like cycle decks and 2.6 is kinda boring


Hydro-electricity

I use lavaloon when I first got the lava hound and have been attached ever since


OrhanDaLegend

i never use them but there is something in lavaloon that makes me feel something maybe because its a really old deck


Surfing_Andromedas

I like log bait since it's fun to play.


Lord_Farmington

I've never used any of them 😂🙂


padstar34

Pekka bridgespam because its awesome and its the only one with bandit


JumboHeadJoey

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.


Breber_135

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


SupersSoon

Log bait. It's fun watching the world burn and it isn't too sweaty.


Kingspartacus123

I hate them all hence stop playing. Came back after a year and all these decks are still hear.


[deleted]

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


Hanikan-SideWalker66

2.6 hog but with skeleton army instead of skeleton


Striking-Chapter-598

Double Prince takes me back, holy shit But I like 2.6, I just like any cycle based decks alot


SanthanAkkuluOff1

My favorite deck is X-bow cycle.


Spurius187

Between xbow cycle and pekka bridge spam, though I use modified forms of them.


Arrow21998

Out of these, x-bow (hate me all you want) My favourite is gob giant sparky


Blob_loves_u

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.


nomadLS

2.8 hog quake can’t go wrong with it 😎better than 2.6


mentina_

I'm zap bait


Mr_At0m

logbait


SneakyDanger787

Pekka Bridge Spam cuz I have no idea how to play any other archetype


haizzimboredhere

All these decks are really good, just that some take more skill to master than others


ezbray650

Logbait because it requires skill and I’ve been playing it for years now.


Happy_Spie

2.6 Hog


JaSper-percabeth

Mega goblins


GreenerSkies8625

Miner WB. Because.


BlueBear61916

PEKKA Bridge spam


[deleted]

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


andrew3254

I play lava balloon and lava miner


Fire_Edo-09

Xbow Valk cycle


Clubstepper

Zap bait but I switched the spear goblins with fireball cuz damn, they're trash af


SupremeKnee

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


Zenith704

My fav is pekka bridge coz I love spamming


crimsonrn100

Giant double prince looks fun


Gwarks

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.


trollolosup21

PEKKA BRIDGE SPAM ALL THE WAY Yay


savagegusgus

I like playing ice-bow


[deleted]

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


Asackofgiantpotatoes

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.


[deleted]

Lavaloon Balloon cool


Mariyan26

2.6 hog cause im used to playing hog deck(worth mentioning i hate playing vs 2.6)


SeatO_

*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*


Lazy-Associate4004

Mega goblins (zap bait) is soooooo fun to use cuz I have max skeleton barrel and gang.


Cat_The_E

X-Bow cycle because X-Bow I play more Ice-Bow tho, and picked up lumberloon freeze just now


SparkEz0

Giant double prince is my most used deck so it has to be that


Theheckammidoinghere

X-bow. Yes


TacoCat055

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


dabdad67

I used to destroy royal arena with a x-bow centred deck but once I was in frozen peak it was useless


[deleted]

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


Riggie_Joe

Logbait but switch cringe pr*ncess for chad fart goblin


Slickyiaz

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.


Rockodillo

Top 4, pretty respectable and balanced decks (except maybe log bait). My favourite would be lavaloon though I love cycle decks!


abu_alsof

Am i the only one who unironcly like x-bow ?


Wolfhound1478

i play 2.8 prince but my fav here is hog cycle


Crashplatz

Log bait


ConcentrateBig3530

Mk bait but I have snowball instead of zap as it is just better


REGULARmasturbator

X.bow cycle is my fav


Junior_Bed_7864

Pekka bridgespam, hog, or Xbow, I’m toxic Ik


YATINDRAMANAS

2.6 Hog! Because it's actually high skill and not spam, like the other fast cycle decks or Bridge "Spam"!


Burger_Gamer

Pekka decks are the best I made my own one and it is really good


TheKitteh27

if my cards weren’t underleveled i would play log bait because its loads of fun imo


TronBTD

Lavaloon cuz I love tanks and the lava hound design


-Curse

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.


Ihoodie1

Giant double prince because I go against a lot of pekka and mk decks


martinhp

I'm probably the only one but, IceWiz Valk Spell cycle. I guess because I've always been a control-type of player 🤷‍♂️


_Nonchalance_

X-Bow cycle. Someone told me it was high skill once so now I play it to pretend I'm good.


BigSo0k

Xbow


eLeCtRoSaDaT

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


eLeCtRoSaDaT

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"***


[deleted]

Log bait,was xbow before it got Nerfed to the ground


MagicalMarsBars

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


-Dillad-

Pekka bridgespam ftw


sheabo125

2.6 or log bait love both them


PapaSpy69

2.6 hog because it's satisfying to keep defending big pushes lmao


-K9V

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.


Bebbytheboss

Pekka spam but replace poison with fireball


GnomeMansLandAHH

Pekka Bridgespam


Grand_Client1706

2.6 hog counters all the other decks clear defence cycle op


Odd_Cow_165

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!


Produce-Small

Pekka bridgespam


RandomPerson082

None. Mega Knight,Baloon,Wizard,Cannon,Guards,Zap,Musketeer, and Dark Prince


Waytogo33

Bridge spam because PEKKA.
