Mega Knight Miner – The Unstoppable Challenge Deck!
Hey guys! Guess who’s back? That’s right! It’s me, Supermarine who’s back!
And, I’ve returned with a super OP Mega Knight Miner deck played by Surgical Goblin! It has just about everything you need to counter the cards of the Challenge Meta, even countering Miner Poison well! Enough talk! Let’s break it DOWN!
Mega Knight Miner
The Cards
Mega Knight: He lands with the force of 1,000 mustaches, wrecking anything he lands on! Glass cannons, swarms, mini-tanks, you name it!
His jumps are also high damaging, dealing about as much damage as a Fireball! He’s even good against other Mega Knights!
Overall, not much to say about this very good card!
Knight: The Mega Knight’s sibling.
He may only land with the force of just one mustache, but that doesn’t make him any less deadly. His sword gives him the same attack power as an RG of equal level, meaning he annihilates individual splash attackers with ease, and countering Valkyrie, Miner, and even Ebola Barbarians well!
On offense, his tankiness can be use to help Miner in the heat of battle so he can inflict the damage.
Miner: Your win condition. Can burrow to the Arena Tower and start whacking away!
He is tanky, which means it take a lot for him to go down. He is even more dangerous when paired with Poison.
If used properly, there’s nothing the opponent will be able to do!
Poison: Your high damaging spell, and Miner’s best friend.
Overall, very self explanatory: Swarm clear, glass cannon damage and support.
Inferno Dragon: A word of advice: Do NOT use this guy as a win condition.
Instead, save him on defense to kill tanks, let that be a big bad Golem, P.E.K.K.A, or Mega Knight.
You can also counter push with him as you please, making things even better for you, as Inferno Dragon can deal lots of damage if it locks on!
Minions: Minions are amazing air killers and Zap Bait.
They pair very well with the Miner on offense, giving extra support against smaller swarms.
This allows the Miner Poison combo to inflict even more damage, even being able to take the Tower if the Minions survive!
On defense, they bait out the Zap so Inferno Dragon can do work! Roses are red, Minions are blue, they can fly, and will crush you!
Zap: Self-explanatory card.
Ice Spirit: Basically a mini-Freeze. Also great for cheap cycling as well.
General Gameplay:
3:00 – 1:00
Make cheap Miner Poison pushes and defend as well.
ONLY use Mega Knight if you know that you will get a positive trade if you use him.
1:00 – End
At this point, it will be OK to use Mega Knight.
Also be sure that the Arena Tower locks on to the MK before deploying Miner Poison.
Use your Inferno Dragon, Knight and Minions to kill big pushes that your opponent may build. Also be sure to take the Tower before OT, as your defense may deteriorate during that time!
Substitutions:
Matchups:
Giant:
The Minions can be used to bait Zap so the Inferno Dragon can do the work.
Use Ice Spirit to freeze if necessary and the Knight to kill support. Counter push if you can.
Golem: You will want to treat it like a Giant.
Use Minions to bait low damaging spells and the Inferno Dragon to kill the Golem. Inferno Dragon survives Lightning, so don’t worry about it dying! Use Ice Spirit to freeze if necessary.
Counter push and/or punish if you can.
P.E.K.K.A:
Typically, the P.E.K.K.A is used as a reactive play rather than an investment, so you probably won’t get the opportunity to punish like with other Control or Beatdown decks.
Use Inferno Dragon and the Minions to kill P.E.K.K.A, and Ice Spirit to freeze. Knight won’t work as well against support because P.E.K.K.A will attack it.
Royal Giant:
Same as other Beatdown decks, except you may need to deal with more troops.
It is also slightly easier to counter push.
Hog Rider:
Really tricky matchup, since the deck contains no building. Instead, use your Minions to kill it.
If you still have issues with Hog, switch Knight for Mini P.E.K.K.A or Inferno Dragon for Inferno Tower (as mentioned in Substitutions).
3M:
Mega Knight annihilates the Three Musketeers. His spawn damage combined with just one attack can kill them.
Be sure to Poison or Miner Collectors and punish as well!
Siege:
We barely ever see Siege anymore, but you should be prepared anyway.
MK works against the likes of X-Bow, but against Mortar, use Knight+Minions.
Use Ice Spirit to freeze if necessary, and counter push as much as you can!
Miner Poison:
This counters Miner Poison for a reason. We have the Knight, a tanky unit that kills Miner with ease. It’s even OK if you mess up on you placement, as you have Ice Spirit as well! This freezes the Miner for 1.5 seconds, giving the Knight time to reach the Miner!
The best part is, you have a Miner Poison of your own, greatly increasing the counter pushing capability!
Spell Bait:
Cry… you have only one low damage spell, and mostly air troops to kill Bait troops.
If necessary, use MK to kill the Goblins and counter push afterward.
Using Zap and your Minions to distract a potential Inferno Tower will end positively for you.
Mega Knight:
This deck actually fares quite well versus MK, as we have our Knight and Inferno Dragon, and if Inferno Dragon gets Zapped, we have Ice Spirit to freeze or Minions to defense and counter push with.
So that’s all for today folks! Hope you guys really liked it! See y’all next time!

ice wizard is so chill.. he picks up chicks
Yea but then he can’t get them off (similar to my school life). Women have demented and dark minds. 🙁
is this supposed to be kid friendly?
Ok, where’s the “report” button?
wtf will 2nd
3rd?
4th
Great guide btw gotta love miner poison decks!
Knight is my favorite Miner XDDDDDDDD
Same
and u placed knight pic instead of miner
Y no pekka?? Will, I think the “top win conditions” post is too old… I barelly GY and giant! But I do see mortars and MK!
megaknight isnt really used as a win condition more of a defensive support. But you’re right, the top win conditions should be updated
I think instead of GY and 3m, it should be pekka and balloon
Absolutely. The only working push with mk is megapekka
there should be gob barrel in there also
Yea, I forgot about that
and miner
yeah
5th no one claimed. BTW Will plz update my box! Take all the time u need!
NOOOO late.
Wake up will u placed knight photo for miner
Lol no one would use ID as win con anyway. Cool deck tho, although I prefer hog and inferno tower instead of miner and id
Check my deck…..
Miner
Ewiz
I dragon
Pekka?!?
Minions
Tombstone
Poison
Zap
Some times I use miner and some time pekka as win con if they hard counter miner…and also pekka to stop if they come with a big push or I dragon if only a tank…
good deck
Thanks….hey why arent you coming with new guide? Your last guide was over a month before!!
i know. its coming soon
Something like gobs or ice spirit for tombstone or ewiz?
because you’ll need a cheap utility-cycle card
other than that, great deck!
I dragon and PEKKA is too much defense! Replace PEKKA with Hog and Miner with Lightning! Next, replace Poison with Knight! U don’t have enough defense against rush cards
21st!

@windmm:disqus There is tooooooooooo many knights!
tru dat
Dear Supermarine, Update ur authors box!
I am trying mah best!
But dude will does it not you right?
are u supermarine?
Yes I am
Ohhhhh, why the name change?
Is this only for challanges ???
Sweet deck! Can’t wait for the MK to show up in my shop. I have been keeping over 40k just in case he shows up for the past month or so, but still nada.
me too! it seems like everybody has mega knight these days
lol I only have MK on my 2nd account
lucky
Don’t buy MK unless u are skilled, as many people are learning how to counter him! Try using him with Beatdown! He works well with Golem
When it said ”even countering miner poison well” i immediately knew a knight was there 🙂
Nice guides supermarine! is this your 4 or 5th guide?
Actually this is my 6th! And I changed my name!
Wow you wrote the same number of guides as me
I’m working on my third guide, which is a beatdown one
Ohh yeah so you’re supermarine! 6th guide already nicee
Lucky! Mine is 142 chests away. 2v2 helps hugely.
Ok
Spam. *cough*
Lucky! Mine is 551 chests away.
72 chests… pretty soon
Vote for the strongest all time win condition of the game:
Hog Rider
Golem
Xbow
3M
Giant (Quick Cycle Decks)
Miner
Goblin Barrel
Didn’t count for Graveyard, Balloon, RG, Mortar, PEKKA, MK, Elites and Sparky (Sorry Sparky lovers!). I feel they are either weak currently or are not viable as win conditions.
I am confused between Miner and Hog.
I think it’s hog rider, it’s always been in the meta
RG should be counted as one of the best win-cons in ladder imo
Overleveled RGs are pretty common in ladder, you’re right. So are Elite Barbs.
Lol speaking of which my friend has level 12 elite barbs at XP level 9
:/// That’s beyond me. I come across maxed Elites in Hog Mountain so frequently.
Then overlevel your counters to the Ebarbs
My most overleveled card is a lvl 11 zap and I’m lvl 10…
I re-achieved 4k today beating two straight max RG users
Nice! Do u use Sparknado in that trophy range??? Coz I have started using Sparknado in Challenger 3 and it works!
Yep! My current deck is Giant Skeleton, Sparky, Tornado, Poison, Baby Dragon, Zap, Goblins, and Bats.
Royal giant isn’t even popular in ladder anymore.
HOOOOOOG RIIIIIIDER!
Hog rider is the most versatile.
HOW CAN U SAY BALLOON IS NOT A WIN CONDITION
IT’S MY SECOND FAV CARD
siege ftw
Goblin Barrel!
Unfortunately…Hog Rider. Sparky is viable, but only to very skilled players, so you are correct to omit it in this list.
HOG RIDAAAA
agreed
HOG RIDER WITHOUT A DOUBT
rocket/mortar is what i feel are the best
right now level 9 and 10 hogs are destroying me:(
Rg is a win conditon
LH is still good and PEKKA is very strong and viable as a win condition! So are Mortar and Sparky! For me, my favourite won condition instead of LH is Golem as I use Beatdown most
But, for the overall player, Hog is best!
Hog Rider – Yasuo of this game
Miner cuz I use it
hog, most balanced and has not been nerfed for along time and does not need one either
The picture of the miner is replaced by the knight
LOL I noticed
whoa cool
Mine is more than 500 away
How far? Mine is 551 away 🙁
539
how do you know oyu will get a leggy chest
Stats royale
is it ok if i replace zap with log?
Those are interchangable in this meta because of the popularity of bats AND minions
what about knight with furnace?
no, not really
new poll : what do you think is the best common card in touchdown mode? I think, sadly, it’s ebarbs.
probably since it has high speed
nah bro, it’s gonna be those sneaky sneaky spear gobs
Has the update even come out yet??? Coz it hasn’t in Australia (for me)
It hasn’t but haven’t you seen it on YT?
I have
Ebarbs are banned i think
nah
Goblins
i say goblins because they are not cancer and they are only 2 elixir
Goblins cuz ebarbs are always cancer
Fire Spirits, Gobs, Spear Gobs.
I feel like I could write more guides if I didn’t write so much….No offense but I didn’t realize you only needed such brief descriptions for each section.
Don’t worry bro. It happens to everyone.
The photo of the knight and the miner are the same. Fix please.
When he explains the roles of the cards
yup
nice deck!!! sadly supercell won’t let me buy MK for eternity
ikr, been waiting for ages
Mine is 471 away! I got mine 3 weeks ago
i have a miner curse. i dont like it. i got it from a legendary chest ages ago and another one from a free chest
2nd lol
no even 5th has been claimed
nope he said “wt* will 2nd” so he didnt claim … XD
DEAL AVEC IT
lol its a double knight deck (look at the cards)
Lol im a mortar user
when the miner section shows a pic of the knight ;D
lol ikr
ok warning to mega knight users who read that it counters mega knight it doesnt cause either you outcycle there mega knight or you have more win condition or high damage cards to counter them with then just as well as they are almost always split push and and a seven elixir investment into a six eleixir push is a negative trade as well as we usually carry spells to deal with there worst counter swarms
i ment to say it says that it counters three musketeer
or miner poison the other mk player out while defending with MK
WOAH SUPER AMAZING BLONE AWAY BY THIS OMGGG I CANT EREAD THIS SO AWOSMOERL
*cough* good guide
Bro You messed up the knight with the miner
There are 2 knight pics
GG.
You kinda copied my deck.
Do u even MortYard bro? Bcuz that was popular choice from loupanji in CGGS!
lol “ebola barbs”
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
don’t spam
