Strongest Decks for the Legendary Challenge
Hey Guys!
What’s up, it’s Unstoppable, and I’m finally back after a long break from the competitive scene after I went to CCGS.
Recently I’ve been back on the grind doing GCs and getting a ton of 12 wins
Because of all the success I’ve been having (farmed around 1.5 million gold already and have an almost maxed account), I wanted to share my tips with you guys on which decks to use, and how to use them.
Grand Challenges/Classic Challenges are the absolute best way to spend your gems, as you get 22K gold/1200 Cards per 12 wins. That’s absolutely insane value, and I highly recommend it.
Top Challenge Decks That Work In The Current Meta
Golem RG
Golem is one of the strongest archetypes in the game, if you know how to play it.
Due to it’s massive HP, you can support it with weaker troops (like mega minion) that deal high DPS while it beats down your opponent’s tower.
The tip for this Golem deck is to play slow at the beginning.
Unlike other players, I do like to play Golem sometimes in single elixer only in specific situations.
You only want to play Golem when you have a significant elixer advantage or when you know you will not get punished.
You can use a Golem on defense to tank your opponents supporting units while you defend against their tank. You can then counter push with that Golem and your defensive units.
Goblin Hut is really great for baiting out Poison so you can stack units like Night Witch and Mega Minion behind your Golem.
Balloon Hunter
Next, we have this Balloon/Hunter deck. I really love this deck.
I have got many 12 wins in GCs with this deck, before Royal Ghost was introduced.
This deck does not as well now because of Goblin Hut. It is very hard to get through the Goblin Hut
A good starting move is to cycle Ice Spirit at the beginning.
The Mega Knight is extremely good on defense and can translate very easily into a counterpush.
Golem decks actually counter this deck because it is really tough to stop Golem and supporting units even though you have Mega Knight and Hunter, it is not enough to stop a Golem.
When you have a lot of counterpushing units, use Ice Golem in front and support with a Balloon. It is very tough to stop this combination.
Hog Exenado
Next deck is an old Hog/Executioner deck but with Guards substituted for Goblins.
This deck is really strong in the current meta mainly because of Royal Ghost. Knight and Guards are excellent counters to Royal Ghost.
You have Tornado and Guards which are invaluable against bridge spam.
This deck also counters Golem really well due to the insane Exenado combination.
It furthermore destroys Three Musketeers as you have Tornado+Fireball for three muskies and Pump, as well as Guards for Battle Ram, and Ice Spirit/nado Executioner for Minion Horde.
You even have Log for Goblin Gang. But this deck is vulnerable to Tornado, so if they have Tornado it will be tough to break through.
You can start off with a Knight or split Guards in the back depending on what is in your starting hand.
Do not be afraid to Fireball an Elixir Pump.
Executioner with Tornado is a really good defensive strategy to use against Beatdown.
If your opponent plays a tank in the back you can punish with Hog in the opposite lane to force them to draw elixer to defend it.
Graveyard Cycle
This deck is Trainer Luis’s deck.
It is a double tank Graveyard deck, but with Inferno as the main defense. This deck is vulnerable to 3 Musketeers but it works really well against Golem, Hog, and many other deck archetypes.
If your opponent places an Elixir Pump you can punish him with Knight/Ice Golem and Graveyard push.
The optimal way of playing this deck is using Archers in good placements to defend an opponent push, then counterpushing with Graveyard.
It is deadly as they have to answer both the supporting units as well as Graveyard.
If your opponent places Golem in the back you can punish them by pushing on the other lane.
You always want to split Archers in the beginning or cycle Ice Spirit so you can push on any lane depending on your opponent’s push.
Giant Royal Ghost
The next deck is a Giant/Royal Ghost deck. This deck is really good because you can use Giant more easily on defense as opposed to Golem decks.
It is great for soaking up damage (for instance from your opponent’s Musketeer or Bats, then translating into a counterpush.
The Prince and Royal Ghost behind Giant is a good combination on offence due to their high DPS or splash.
You can also use Prince and Royal Ghost to defend than counter push with Giant in front.
You have E-Wiz to defend against units like Inferno Dragon, Bats, and the ever popular Skelly Barrel now. And Zap to use on offence against Inferno Dragon or Inferno Tower.
Starting moves are cycling Ice Spirit, using a Giant and pushing same lane as whatever your opponent drops, Ewiz/Mega Minion in back.
I dont recommend rushing with a Prince on offense, it is too aggresive.
Royal Ghost Bridge Spam
This deck is so overpowered right now. The key to this deck is to spam your units at the bridge so your opponent will not be able to counter this.
But do not spam mindlessly, you typically want to play slightly conservatively, then go almost all in when they invest elixer in the other lane.
For instance, if they use a Golem in back or elxier Pump, immediately Battle Ram + Night Witch the other lane. Or use a Ghost.
Night Witch paired with Battle Ram and Ice Golem in front to tank is a really good combination on offence.
Then they will be forced to spend a ton of elixer in defending, whereas you can simply use a Inferno Dragon to defend their Golem easily for a positive elixer trade.
Then you can use the Inferno Dragon for another counterpush as it is still alive.
Ghost is really good at countering Three Musketeers as well.
Here is my video where I play a full grand challenge and get 12 wins using the 6 different decks mentioned below. Live Commentary is included, as well as extensive detail/tips on how to use each deck.
I’d really appreciate subscribing/sharing the videos, as I will be producing videos approximately once a week, each time with a new deck I’ve been having success with in GC’s or general tips on how you can become a better player.
I frequently post the best decks updated in the meta on my Twitter account, so if you want to stay up to date with the frequent meta shifts, please follow. I post 12 win decks almost daily.
I also have Instagram in which I share cool photos, for instance one of my posts I took some pictures with players like Surgical Goblin, Tin2, and other pros from CCGS. Check it out.
Furthermore, I’d like to give a huge shoutout to Team Clovers for sponsoring me. If any of you are looking to tryout for our pro team (which offers contracts, monthly salaries, and max accounts), please follow them on Twitter and join their Discord.
Lastly, big shoutout to Will for helping me get where I am now. Without the support of all of you guys I would not be here right now 🙂
Stay tuned for more deck guides coming soon,
Unstoppable
I currently use miner poison to push on ladder, and spawner deck / lavaloon for challenges (yes my challenge decks are cheap don’t judgeeeee) and I’m finding miner poison to be a really powerful deck.
First after repost
HE’S BACK! Woooow. BTW, there’s my deck which I’m gonna use, it’s very strong and I used it to get 2nd place on 200 player tourney!
Miner
Mega Knight
Skeleton Barrel
Bats
Guards
Poison
The Log
Inferno Dragon
Yay that is awesome, unlike my clash skills right now…
I don’t know if other people are like this, but some days I just suck but other days I rule
Me too bro.
yep that’s me
Nice!
Hey Unstoppable! I don’t think you know me but welcome back anyway XD
Thanks!
I’m always early.. :<
real electrify?
which i have all 3 😀
im using the gyard deck as i like grave yard and i have all the cards
no need to be disrespectful
yes same. im struggling against decks with alot of glass cannons and tanks,
gob gang and knight for barbs
2nd after repost no one claimed?
Can someone join my clan? A troller kicked about 30 members. The name is 1600 with the Belgian flag. We talk French and Dutch. A few players can also talk English.
thats your fault for letting him do that xD, and im in one thats already good,
Bruh. Why is it my fault?
Can I predict the future?
I think he just means it’s whoever promoted him to elder or co’s fault.
It is still not the fault of the guy who promoted him. Sometimes you need new Co’s in your clan and that guy couldn’t that he is a troller.
Well typically you don’t want to just promote people to co because you want new co’s. Usually you only promote people you trust and think deserve co.
I needed new co’s and he deserved it.
(That was what I thought)
Oh. Well sorry that happened 🙁
i was wondering why i was kicked lol i joined right back though
Thanks bro. I thought no one will join the clan.
H-holy Crap. 1st off, welcome back, 2nd off 1.5 million gold? Damn, I gotta try those decks out. GGWP, hope you keep doing good
Thanks 🙂
How is this deck for the challenge unstoppable?
Miner
Poison
Ewiz
Log
Tesla
Spirit of ice
Gobs
Knight
2.9
I would suggest Inferno Tower over Tesla because you don’t have much dps other than the tesla (for golem).. and support troops would be really annoying if golem or giant.
I would also go goblin gang over e-wiz and bats over gobs but that’s me
I prefer skeletons over goblins, mainly to reduce the cycle. B-Rad uses skeletons in that slot too. A zap or log would be a negative elixir trade. Even though it’s just one elixir less than goblins, you would normally be cycling through dozens of those throughout a match and that all stacks up over the course of a match. That’s dozens of times where you have spent 1 less elixir and that allows you to get more ewizes down, more knights, more miners and where needed more teslas.
Seems decent. Looks like the old 2.9 cycle Brad used. If you’re good with it go ahead
3rd after repost
Good Decks without RG?
You have access to every card for this challenge bro 🙂
Wait really?
Yea
Hello, old Comrade.
WHATTT THEN COME TO PAPA ROYAL GHOST
Looking at it now, it doesn’t look like it. Did I do something wrong?

Thanks guys!
link in pinned tweet
I like it 🙂
I’ve never seen it before lol. Probably not that great as two extremely heavy tanks can cause rotation problems
Got you fam 🙂
Nope I accept 🙂
I’d probably use the bridge spam!! luks nice..or the golem one
golem rg …… commence flashbacks
He’s talking about RG as in royal ghost, not royal giant XD
i know but the idea of it tho
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
i actually think you could get 3 wins in a classic challenge withh it. POTENTIAL!
will we be able to use cards not in are collection? just wondering
Yea
just found out we can’t
It switched from all the cards to just the card collection. Supercell’s such a $%#@%@%@#%#@%#@%#%@#%@#%%%#@!
Agreed that was a kook move
Ikr
yeah sad
Thanks for the overwhelming support everyone! So happy 🙂
4th after repost
that’s a lot of gems!!!!!! and gold!!!!!! (didn’t check my account yet, what’s the legendary challenge??)
HOLY COW IS IT SCARLETT!!!!!!!!!!????!!??!?!??!?!
XD
erm yea who else
ok
There’s no gems lol
I literally came down here to see if I was late. Apparently I was 🙁
really nice post unstoppable! I’ve been playing lots of different competitive decks (having success with them too) and I will add a ton over here. They are super viable and have gotten me many 12 wins also, couple of these are some which I’ve seen being played by different pro players and seemed interesting
Xbow Archers cycle
Hog Ice wiz control
Miner machine inferno hut control
pekkaloon w/ ghost
golem hut
mortar bait ghost
giant pekkahut
3m mirror
giant 3m
pekka bspam ghost
giant double minions
log bait w/ tesla
exe-bow
mk hog w/ guards
3m double prince
gy control w/ ghost
2.6 hog archers
classic lavaloon w/ fireball
mk hut skbarrel
giant skelly barrel clone
xbow mk cycle
classic 3m
classic golem
bridge spam hunter
bandit miner cycle
classic mk loon
pekka miner ewiz control

xbow flying machine
miner 2.9
pekka miner hut
pekka bait w/ mirror rocket and furnace
splashyard
giant double spawner
mk double spawner
welp, ask if you’re interested in any of these
Can you make a guide about a splashyard deck? Didn’t see one for a while.
How are you listing all this
Umm either pro players or you got 12 wins with three musketeers MIRROR?
actually i could see it if you managed to get one tower that could be really hard to defend if you have decent counters to noyt get two starred and three starred also a really good surprise card if you split the first three muski youd be surprised
Yea I have no idea what ur saying lol
getting one tower with three muski is op cause you can place them in the center to get the other tower now
Ignore the only strongpoint in the deck is surprise then it’s trash
not really if you have seven really good cards you can really take advantage of certain points and never use mirror unless for surprise like you are supposed to i feel that it should be really good you cant hate a deck simply because it runs a card generally seen as bad
I don’t hate the deck because it’s bad, I don’t even hate it at all. I just think it’s trash lol. You don’t want to go through the whole match only using a certain card once or twice you will get outcycled
yeah lol, what’s your answer to a mirrored pump?
Punish and destroy
omg thats a lot of different decks
Why are u so good? T-T
I never even won a 12 win challenge
Aye just do a classic challenge their easy af
OK so I looked at TV Royale and I found that there were a ton of people using this deck:
Miner
Royal Ghost
Goblin Hut
Skele Barrel
Bats
Zap
Inferno Dragon
Mega Knight
Yea
https://goo.gl/WZaduc&yfjq
yep, I would have been using it if I had RG

Welcome back Unstoppable
Hey guys,question:
Does this deck will work on legend challenge?
Mortar
Rocket
Tornado
Musketeer
Ice golem
Ice spirit
Zap
Goblin gang
Write your opinions
Hmm looks good to me
seems good but needs crowd control card, (tornado cant do everything)
Like what?I aint putting exe,hunter nor bowler in it.
Ice wiz maybe?
But replace what for ice wiz?
I’m kinda sad that they changed it. I went 4-3 in the challenge
Currently 3-2 because one person had a Mega inferno goblin hut deck which believe it or not completely countered my hog exenado deck. The second loss I would’ve won if they didn’t nerf the spell tower damage! Basically the tower was at 149, and zap+log (I used a different variant) only does 140, which before it would’ve done 160. Then the raged mega minion got 2 hits on the 400 hp tower cuz I couldn’t nado it in time.
i have trouble countering mega knight as well whenever i use hog in general its just a really good defensive counter push card that can be really overwhelming
Yea, I use hog, but I run freeze too, so I can freeze the MK and (maybe) get some free damage
that will give you the worst counter push that you have seen in your whole life that is the last thoing that i would suggest unless you are posiive you can get the tower
dang im screwededdd
Went 7-3, first loss was from a misplay with my placement of my ice wiz, 2nd loss was the deck that beats me the most (aka 3m fireball bait) and 3rd loss was from a spam deck
are you talking about the really cycally three muski or the one with gang minoin horde and pump
The one with horde and gang
i run that as well both actually ive never really have troublke fighting it i use hog nado three muski cycle log bait and that very deck as well remeber they have no spells thats the key to betaing those decks
I could’ve considered using it cuz I have all the cards in that deck at tourney standards or higher except pump
All theee if my losses where to the same stupid skelly barrel deck. URGGHHH
Lol I never faced that deck
that meta gob hut ghost MK miner deck?
Yep
i went 5-3
did they change what cards you can use?
Yup
Sadly, yea
I really have no idea how these people get 12 wins in the challenge when there’s the odds of finding a deck that is complete counter to your deck. And of course other than the “skill” factor, I really don’t know how. I was barely able to do Modern Royale, due to some being bologna, some being to my neck, maybe. Also, checked my shop for the Royal Ghost, not even there, so I can’t use him until it shows up. Even worse is I don’t have the Hunter, so those other decks are unusable.
ask for substitutions is there any perticular deck you cant run but want to do to the cards what are the cards you dont have
Pros get 12 wins because they use versatile decks that counter meta decks. There’s certain decks that are really good against certain archetypes and bad against others, (beat down and siege for example) and then there’s versatile decks where they are good against all decks. Those ones require not as much skill and you can get far in the game with those ones.
Where do I find these versatile decks?
Ummm… I’ll give u a hint. ITS BREVIATIONS ARE CRA!!!!!!!

use this deck:
golem
elixir collector
NW
baby dragon
MM
dark prince
prince
arrows(I think zap is better, but arrows help a lot against 3 muskets)
Tried it. I could not get myself to use Elixir Collector. Just because I was simply scared of it being what could kill my game.
The rocket, a heavy push, etc. etc.
Learn matchups. Matchups are the key. You’d be surprised how often you face people who don’t know how to play a counter-deck properly.
You don’t need royal ghost to get 12 wins in this challenge even though he makes it easier. You don’t need hunter either. Quick cycle graveyard, hog exenado, miner poison control and logbait are some good decks that can work for 12 wins without Royal Ghost.
ok in you guys opinion in the decks that has knight ice golem graveyard does it sound understandable to substitute tornado for poison and princess for archers i feel this will give the deck a much better chance at countering beat down decks built around getting massive pushes although the poison helps against pumps it just gives the deck one of the best defensive combos in the game in my opinion
Keep poison. remember that you have two tanks and if you poison their push the support troops will have a horrible time.
yeah but princess poiuson also does a strong effect like that asd well as allowing you to get troops on your tower and keeping troops away from your toper for one less elixir
but princess can be stopped
its a lot cheaper though and doesnt matter if it gets killed fast as much
I got only nine wins in the challenge 🙁
Dude I got 7 and I sorta got trash cards
lol i just got 6-3
Went 8-3 on my lvl 9 acct tho
nice buddy
I have Royal Ghost in the shop but don’t know whether to invest into him. My Ladder deck is: Golem | Mega Minion | Elixir Collector | B Dragon | Goblin Gang | N Witch | Arrows | Rocket.
Maybe same deck but swap Gang of Ghost???
I would swap out night witch tbh if u buy him
Really? But I consider her to be the best Golem support card.
Lol I had debated on a good support for golem on my lvl 9 acct (which has used golem since arena 6) and I was wondering about using archers, ewiz, or night witch. Believe it or not, i found ewiz to be the best support especially if ur opponent places his inferno tower in the anti lightning position
I used to toggle between ewiz and NW but I found that Inferno users were getting pretty smart at countering the ewiz. I just Rocket the Inferno Tower or distract the Inferno Dragon.
BUY!!!! he is super op, if it was up to me I would get it no matter what.
I’ve tried a bunch of different Golem decks today. Honestly, I don’t like the Royal Ghost in a Golem deck. I think he’s more suited for decks that usually have Knight and you just sub him in.
RG just replaces bandit, not knight. and RG is good in every deck imo.
One of the decks I tried with Ghost I did go 7/10. Just doesn’t feel right. Maybe I need to try it a bit more. I see your point on Bandit but I also think it’s a nice replacement for Knight as well. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/66269bbd35d133d29dcd205ef89e5ad049cd8f63bc8e56d7283d8e9df2bd8072.png
if you don’t like RG in golem, then use it with MK
That actually sounds like an awesome combo. I’ve invested too much into my Golem now to switch though.
oh, everyone playing GC uses the combo though
right buddy
Or dark prince
yep
I am afraid he will be nerfed just like sc overnerfed nw and made it trash
at least you can get some 12 wins and push up before the nerf.
So just got my ass kicked again 0-3 with the exodia deck. Bye bye 100 gems… How do you use this deck to win? What do you have to look out for? I didn’t stand a ghost of a chance against mirror hog tornado, lavahound/inferno dragon:electro wizard; pekka hog tornado.witch…
I’ve always found in the Challenges to use something as close to your Ladder deck as possible so the learning curve is a lot less.
I used my ladder deck cuz it’s not crap when leveled down to tourney standards
Yeah that’s the key. If you’re running level 13 EBarbs then they would definitely need to be swapped out.
I use hog freeze lol
I use MK control I went 6-3 in legendary challenge, was 6-0 then lost 3 in a row 🙁
It’s probably the fact that ur not used to playing those kinds of decks, I would suggest playing the decks that use similar play styles to the deck u currently use so that it’s easier to get those w’s, the best way is to look at ur ladder deck and watch replays of how you play it, then think of other cards that match this play style and go from there
Hope this helps! 🙂
what the heck is an exodia deck??
Lol he probably meant exenado
this isn’t yugioh
Wats yugioh???
yu gi oh is a type of card game, it’s like pokemon cards, but more serious(?) I guess.
anyway, you can’t win even a local tour with exodia <(")
leveled up or leveled down?
What do you mean?
card levels
If above tourney standards, then down, otherwise the lvls stay the same
so if u wanna try a new deck that’s below tourney standards, you’ll keep the trashy levels
Basically, yea
nooooooooooo im stuck with valk prince
Lol rip
still using it at 3.6k im madddddd
Ur literally near where I am… I’m at around 3.7k
3.7k is higher and i have a level 6 prince which makes up for my level 8 tower… i pretty much just keep a lower tower cuz i suck and i won’t be too embarrassed when i lose
I only have 1 epic that’s even lvl 5…
yea and im F2P 100%, i just take advantage of epic sunday, also the only deck i can make in the guide is the hog exenado
Wait, you have the log?
yea i have bandit and graveyard which i bought, and two sparkies and princess and lumby
My good acct got 2 lava hounds, 1 ice wiz (I want a 2nd one tho), 1 Graveyard, 1 miner, 4 inferno dragons, 4 night witches, 3 ewizes, 1 princess, 1 bandit, and 1 log
wow that’s a lot
I have 2 lavas 2 ice wiz 2 graveyard 2 miner 2 dragons 1 NW 4 Ewiz 3 princess 1 bandit 2 log 1 MK and don’t have RG. (These are the legendaries I have gotten, not the level of the legendaries)ni also have 60K gold waiting for RG in shop
Have you made it to leggy arena before? If not, hope you get there soon!
I got there a few days ago but I then dropped
why havent you been on discord lately
idk lost interest ig
rip
oh rip
I’m angry. was at 10-0 lost three in a row. My brother messed up an xbow plant and i lost that game. Then I got kinda pissed and began missing tons of fireballs and dropping the wrong troops. RIP. Gonna sit in a corner and cry for a few minutes.
I feel you man… I had similar situation with RG challenge. as for legendary, I got 10 wins too. but at least I can retry
supercell, you said every card… I’m kind of bummed out about that. but above that, I opened a smc yesterday, and guess the results…
same here i opened a smc from quest it gave me 164 elixir collectors and 23 rages and no legendary ;(
sad…
yeah i was so sad
nooo, im so sorry
Sad, I’m like 6 from a smc on my lvl 11 acct, I hope I either get my 2nd ice wiz, royal ghost, or mega knight
hope you get those
I honestly would not mind anything unless it’s lava hound, inferno dragon, or night witch I would hate it if I get those
YAY I GOT 12 WINS ON LEGENDARY CHALLENGE(12-2)!!! I got graveyard out of the legendary chest(expected Royal Ghost, but guess SC doesn’t like me), and nothing out of 12 wins chest. I know I should be grateful, but I’m just disappointed rn
I went 12 – 1 with this deck:
Mega Knight
Miner
Skelly Barrel
E Wiz
Bats
Zap
Poison
Inferno Dragon
Graveyard from leggy chest nothing else. Its now 1/10 lvl 3
skeleton barrel is op if you combine it with miner
I wouldn’t call it OP. Any splash damage counters it. Only time it’s caught me out is when I dropped the spell before the skeletons actually landed.
What should i buy MK or RG?
RG.
This deck I made for arena 9 looks good for challenges or needs improvements? before of poison I used tombstone. I don’t play the challenge yet so I’m not sure https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/74feea615f74b24c331a035fd2ed7c3a4d57a43bb217f978537efbdac7378249.png
Who here remembers when RG meant Royal Giant?
