The Hog Bait Deck That Got Me to League I
Hey what’s goin’ on guys it’s your boy Muk here with my first Guide ever!
Feel free to comment down below on what you think this deck might be better off with👇!
Ok let’s get in to it!
Pros:
- 3.5 Elixir= medium cycle
- Both legenderies can be replaceable
- Easy to play
Cons:
- Level Dependent cards such as Goblin Gang, Goblin Barrel, Fireball
- Only 1 tank killer
- Only 1 card for Direct Air Damage= E Wiz
The Hog Bait Deck
Hog Rider:
He is a Savage Man Riding a Hog (of course) while screaming through the Arena, “HHHOOOGGG RRRIIIDDDAAAHHH!!!”
One of the best and most used win conditions in the Game.
Also The First (out of 2) Win Condition in this deck.
Electro Wizard:
He Lands with a “POW”, stunning nearby enemies!!
He can stun Inferno Towers/Dragons and is your main Direct Air Damaging Card.
He works well paired up with MR.HOGY!
Inferno Tower:
Your only tank killer, excellent against, Golems, Lava Hounds, P.E.K.K.A.S, and Giants.
Which are all very popular the Ladder right now. So Yes This Is Your Only Tank Killer.
Fireball:
ANNNND….. FIREBALL!
This Is Probably one of my favorite spells. Very popular card used in Hog decks.
Used to kill, Minion Hordes, Wizards, Archers, Musketeers (3) and solo, very good against swarms.
Can be used to take out a tower as a last resort.
Zap or Log :
Also a very popular card in Hog decks (Zap and Log).
It can be used to take out, Minion Hordes, Skelly army’s, Gob Gangs, Minions and will reset Infernos (Dragon/tower).
Very self-explanatory card and are very compatible in many other decks as well 😉
Goblin Gang
Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang oops… I mean Goblin Gang.
These Salty Goblins are great for distracting troops and taking down Hog Riders, Princess, and EBarbs.
Skeleton Army
These mighty skeletons won’t stop till’ they get the job done!
They are great for distracting and taking down Hogs, EBarbs, Giants, you name it! BEWARE OF THE ZAP OR LOG SPELL!
Goblin Barrel
These 3 goblins are great for many things!
They can go directly to a tower, or draw out a zap or you can even use it defensively (not very likely to be used that way tho).
Great synergies to use with Hog or E Wiz. Great to use when opponent is low in elixir. Also your second win condition.
Substitution
Tips:
- Try to do positive elixir trades. Try to defend more than you are offensive. If you don’t defend you cant win.
- Try to let your opponent make the first move then you might be able to counter push
- Punish when you know your opponent is out of elixir! EX: If they just placed a pump or golem in the back try to punish with goblin barrel hog! But don’t over commit or else that will be GG.
- Try to learn your opponents deck, figure out their strengths and weaknesses. Also try to out-cycle your opponent.
General Gameplan
3:00-2:30
Don’t be too aggressive! Try too learn their deck.
Usually I start off with an EWiz in the back or just goblin barrel their tower to try to draw out a spell. You can also split the gang in the back.
Try to hide your hog don’t use it too early and try to get some chip damage from gang or GBarrel.
2:30-1:30
Now you can start to make some pushes. By this time you should know what your opponent is using. If they make a big push you can counter push and hopefully take down their tower!
Also try to punish is they wasted elixir EX: If they zapped your skarmy try to punish with Hog Barrel or Hog Gang. Again, try to get some chip damage once in a while.
1:30-0:30
Up until double elixir try to defend your opponents pushes and try to counter push when you can and stay cautious.
Over defending (in my case) for a super counter push is better than using up a lot of elixir on offense. Also, keep on spamming those goblin barrels once they use zap or log or arrows on something else try to send a Barrel or a Gang down the Lane.
0:30-End
Try to finish off their tower! (if you can) Don’t over commit or else you will pay the consequences.
OT can be a friend or foe it depends how you want to play Offensive or Defensive
This also depends on your Elixir advantage!
Defend Harder. Attack Harder. Win Easier!
Match-ups
Giant:
This Match-Up is pretty simple, just use your inferno tower and kill any support with The Gang or Ewiz
Hog Rider:
Almost like Giant but a bit harder try to use your EWiz on it then counter push afterwards
Royal Giant:
He is absolute TRASH unless he is max level! Depending on the level your opponent has him he will either be easy or hard to defeat. Use your gang and/or skarmy or gang.
Log Bait:
Getting a draw is fine. Try your best to out-cycle them always keep your zap or log for the barrel. Also Don’t give so much rocket value.
P.E.K.K.A:
Use your Inferno Tower on her and kill/distract her support pretty simple match-up since she is distracted so easily.
Try to punish if they place a PEKKA in the back or go opposite lane pressure.
Golem:
Golem is probably one of the hardest match-ups I HATE it!
Always try your best to do split lane pressure so that they have to split their support. Inferno tower will do good but beware of distractions such as, minions, bats, and goblins. Fireball support as a last resort
————————————————————————————————————–
And that’s all guys!
Hope you enjoyed this guide, as this deck is pretty cool, even though it’s not the best but it works!!
Good luck in the Arena! Hope you guys enjoyed the guide. Peace Out!
First after edits
or repost whatever
xD
I remember seeing this deck a lot in mid 2017… brings back memories. sadly I don’t use hog now because of how nado counters it so easily.
Dude, just freeze there nado
oh yeah but they might clone their nado
lol good one
TY
Not claiming second after repost ! Hosting a giveaway for it !!! Reply to this comment to enter lol
not gonna enter
Lol
How do you enter?
Lol it was a joke
#nerfhogmore
Nah I think he’s balanced
NO!
yes<3
YES its way too good for 4 elixir also NERF THE MINI PEKKA
pls no… i use it, only lvl 7…
… mines lvl 8
I am trying to get it to lvl 8, it’s like 160/200 (cuz supercell keeps giving me goddamn barb huts which I hate)
#no
#yes , btw whats your ign ?
I’m pretty sure that his ign is William
This is like the third time I have seen this deck posted. Good deck though.
This is a different one actually xD But same combo
Nerf List –
Golem – Too Op . Would suggest mitigating his damage and hitspeed .
Hog – Hit speed reduction
Minion Horde – Sprawn time 2 secs .Reduces punish effect
Skel barrel – No death damagr , less skels
Spear gobs- less hitspeed
Goblin hit – less hp
Buff –
Lavahound – #lavadamagebuff
Balloon – bomb back to 1 sec
The only nerf I agree with is Goblin Hut less HP
you just want lavahound to be meta
Yay! But we can see it’s present state rn
So you want to nerf SB to oblivion
Yup
these ideas dont work at all besides lava hound damage buff and maybe the balloon buff
Mine:
nerfs:
Mega Knight – less damage
Minion Horde – count from 6 to 5
Knight – less HP
Witch – Hit speed 0.7 sec to 0.8 sec
buffs:
Lava Hound – more damage
Sparky – more damage
Balloon – bomb delay from 3 sec to 2 sec
neutral (partially a buff, partially a nerf):
3 Muskets: deploy time from 1 sec to 2 sec
Electro Wizard: more damage, less HP
YES bring back Oh Short Johnsen!
?
???
youtube.
wut..?
youtube
YYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSS PLEEEEEEZ
mega knight: less hp MORE DAMAGE
thats doubtful, either he wont get affected or will get nerfed
aaaaaaaand… nerfed… WHY THO
No more is balanced it’s usage rate is easily kept in check by inferno d , knight etc
still, i keep losing to MK, which is the reason i think it needs a nerf
Horde wld just be useless then. So much less dps for 5 elixir and spell-able. No one is gonna use it then lol
Idk about that skeleton barrel nerf
You might as well remove the skele barrel instead of nerfing it into absolute oblivion like that
Hog?!? NUH UH! Balloon? Yes plz! Skeleton Barrel! 6 is preferred, but keep the Death Damage. Golem? Less HP and hitspeed. LavaHound? #lavapupdamagebuff! XDDDDDDDD
Hog is too commonly used and untill hog is nerfed lava can’t become meta
NERF THE PEKKA HP AND DAMAGE AND MAKE IT 6 ELIXIR
imo skele barrel is balanced
Not at all
slightly biased list? Lol course u want lava and loon buffed. They are balanced enough. They don’t need bufs
Lava is not up
Lol I don’t see a problem w skele barrel. Although I agree with Golem nerf. Personally I would decrease the death damage. It is too OP and kills like all swarms
Your name is legendary
Thank you
This has literally been my deck for the last 2 months
The same deck Nitrome95 used to win the first ever CRA 2k card tourney. Good guide! Welcome to CRA author club.
Nitrome95 is a legend!
ive seen this deck a lot, and i dont use hog to much
neither do i, my hog is lvl 7 at 3800 – 3900
Mines level 6 at the trophie range 🙁
Imagine if every card in the game was equal, and you never knew what deck you would play against in ladder, and there would be hundreds of usable decks
What do you mean exactly?
Instead of there being good cards and bad cards, every card would be balanced and equal, and there would be a ton of decks that would be usable
cough bomb tower cough royal giant/royal gg cough
*cough cough* mega knight *cough cough* minion horde *cough cough*
minion horde is better than 3 minions offers more value
How? Minion horde is 5 Elixir, so is easily punished with arrows cuz that’ll be a +2 trade, whereas no one would really want to arrow 3 minions cuz it isn’t a positive elixir trade, and those 3 minions can pretty much do the same job for a lower cost
Dats impossible with cards like Royal gg, MK, RGhost etc.
Ik, but I’m saying if it was that way, the game would be about 169.3108 times better
on ladder, I face tons of maxed bomb towers, barbs, barb huts, rages, ebarbs, can’t even name them all
Max rage isn’t much different from lvl 4 rage tbh.
Balance changes aim for this to happen but obviously it can never be perfect.

nice deck bro its easy to play and good guide 🙂
heyyyyyyyyyyy got 8 golems matchups today (me olaying mortar) feeling salty (no IT in my deck)
is there ID in ur deck?
No!
u know my mk hog deck?
my deck has a bit of trouble against golems considering my best tank killer in my deck is a mini pekka…
well I love using golem….
Now I use absolute tank eater (without infernos)deck! Muhahaha
pekka? welp I’m switching to log bait and 3musks
I used this deck for a really long time until arena 10 then i started using princess instead of e-wiz because of the high use of bats i like it what do you think
What do you think guys of my deck? I call it ultimate tank eater
Pekka
Prince
Royal ghost
Zap
Arrows
Pump
Ice wiz
Minion horde
I know that it doesn’t have a direct damage spell
Looks cool, but Minion Horde is weak in the meta-game because of all the usage of poison.
i use poison and yet i have problems against maxed minion hordes
Then there must be a problem.
Hey how do you get the pentagon deck chart?
They put it in the deck guide for you.
Who’s they
The editors (Almost any mod)
Thanks! Is there a way to get this if my guide isn’t posted?
Not that I know of currently, sorry!
