Rocket Barrel Deck (Detailed Guide)
Hey guys! It’s me HSNA here with my third guide! This time, it’s about my most used deck, the classical spell – bait!
My main deck on my first account was this version of spell bait, whilst second and third were LavaLoon. I recently got Log on my second account to, and I pushed for 3000 trophies to 3400 in a day, whilst losing only ONE battle!
So, this deck is also very good against those annoying Elite Barbarians, that are amazingly common at this trophy range.
I know that someone posted a guide about this deck, but (no offence author of that guide) it wasn’t as detailed as you would like it to be!
So, here I am! Let’s get started!
Disclaimer: I know that this exact type of spell – bait has been posted twice, and some people are complaining about it. Please try to remember that this isn’t just a normal guide, it’s more like an encyclopedia, so it is also very long. Sorry once again to all those people who hate spell – bait.
Ok. First, let’s have a look at the F2P version of this deck.
So, now that the F2P version is out, let’s bring in the real version of this deck.
The real version of this deck is actually much harder to use than the Classic deck, so if you don’t have much experience with spell bait or chip decks, Adam strongly recommends using the F2P version as it has better defense against combos such as Golem and Minion Horde! (He said this in one of CWA’s channel).
The real version of this deck requires great skill and a positive attitude! Before I get deeper into the guide, I will give you two times when NOT to play this deck:
- If your chest slots are full and you did your first battle after filling your chest slot. Then, you lost! Don’t continue with this deck as matches become harder after your chest slots are full.
- When you are on a losing streak of 5 or more. This is proven to mentally stress you and makes you feel miserable until you win. I recommend that you do some 2v2’s or Touchdown games to refresh yourself. Alternatively, play COC (Clash Of Clans)!
So these are the cards in the deck:
So, let’s go a little bit into card specifics:
As you can see, this deck has two win conditions which are the Goblin Barrel and the Rocket! These two win conditions are your primary damage dealers, but one of them is almost always use for tower damage (Goblin Barrel), and the other one (Rocket) is only used in two situations:
- When you know you’ll get insane defensive value (during bot 2x and 1x elixir time)
- To chip away their tower (only in 2x elixir)
You guys probably all know what to do in those clutch situations right? Well, if you don’t, try the ‘Hidden Barrel’ trick! Use this trick only once per match, when their tower has 1000 HP or less.
For tank annihilation, you’ve got Inferno Tower (although Sparky actually worked for my friend instead of Inferno Tower sas the both bait Zap).
To distract/ take care of the supports, you have your one and only non – squishy card: Knight! In my opinion, it is a much better option than Mega Minion as it is more versatile and is a common!
Your two spells are obviously Rocket and Log! Log is the most versatile card in this deck in my opinion as it offers so much value for just 2 elixir!
The other cards you have are Princess (to take out enemy Minion Hordes, Minions, Bats etc. and to chip on their tower), Goblin Gang (for defense against cards such as Hog Rider, Mini PEKKA etc. and to get chip damage) and Ice spirit (as a cycle card, to protect Princess, to get chip damage and for great synergy with Goblin Gang!)
This deck is level independent! What you need with this deck is pure skill and PATIENCE!!!
You might lose 300 trophies at first, but after that, it will be hard for anyone to beat you!
I have seen a top 200 global with only a Level 9 Knight and a level 8 Inferno Tower! His only high levelled card ( Common – 12, 13 Rare – 10, 11 Epic – 7, 8 and Legendary – 4, 5) was his Ice Spirit which was maxed out! He went by the name of Duney Noon! (Haven’t seen him in top 200 for a month but who cares!)
Most of the top ladder people use this deck, so it must be good!
General Gameplan:
Hog Cycle
It is a fairly easy matchup and the winrate is 80%
In this matchup, you want to constantly pressure your opponent and make sure you don’t fall into any of his traps!
One of them might be luring you to use goblin Gang on something else and then get you to use Inferno Tower on his Hog Ice Golem Goblins push!
All he has to do now is zap your Inferno Tower! If he decides to support Hog with Goblins, Bats etc, don’t worry as your strong Hog counter combo will still prevent a hit!
In the early game phase, all you want to do is create a little bit of pressure on him using Goblin Barrel and Princess!
If he uses Minions (might) or Minion Horde (very unlikely), don’t waste you Princess on offense! Instead get him to use his spell and then use Goblin Barrel!
During midgame, you will have a solid understanding of his deck, so you can go a bit more aggressive using Knight and Goblin Gang/ Goblin Barrel!
Keep on countering his Hog pushes using Goblin Gang + Ice Spirit combo and once you use it twice in a row, place the Inferno next time in case he prediction logs!
During double elixir and OT, constantly Rocket their tower, whilst defending as much as you can!
Use Rocket, then place Goblin Gang in front of your damaged tower! Next place an Inferno tower in 4-3 plant then use Ice Spirit and Rocket again! This can all be done in the space of 20 seconds! (That was just an example!)
The key to this deck is to keep on doing chip damage with Goblin Barrel and Princess and taking in minimal damage!
Golem Beatdown
Being another fairly easy matchup, I’d give it a 70% winrate.
In this matchup, your objective is to constantly rocket their pumps and when they use a Golem at the back, pressurize the other lane with a quick Goblin Gang/Barrel.
Don’t use Knight, as in this matchup, you need him to take out the supports and tank for the Inferno Tower. This will either force them to take significant tower damage or force them to use a card that they were planning to use on defense.
Next, you want to wait for 8+ elixir and put Princess on the other side SO THAT IT TARGETS THE TANK/SUPPORTS!!!
Use your Inferno Tower in 4-3 placement and use Knight to take out supports. Ice Spirit for additional support.
Due to the fact that you will have minimal elixir, you have a Princess on one lane and a Knight on the other, don’t waste anymore elixir.
In the early game phase, all you want to do is Goblin Barrel, defend, Goblin Barrel etc. Once they start using spells on your Goblin Barrel, switch up the placements as you want to ideally start off with the non – tornado placement. I’ll tell you what it is later on…
Anyways, you really want to get a feel of their deck. In most situations, they will not use Golem in the first minute, which is great for you as you can get that chip damage in!
During that mid game phase, your opponent will use Golem 65% of the time. By now, you should have a feel of your opponent’s cards.
If his support is likely to be a splash damage and is spells are Arrows and Rocket, use Goblin Gang AND Goblin Barrel at the same time, as he will suffer a lot of damage even if he arrows everything. If he has Log, then use them separately..
If his support is likely to be Night Witch or something, pressurize him with a Knight + Goblin Barrel combo on the opposite lane.
Counter their push with Inferno Tower for tank and Knight / Goblin Barrel for supports.
During the late game phase, pressurize and defend, like during the mid game phase, but quicker.
Poisoned Gravy and Miner Poison
Although it is difficult, you will still win 60% of the time.
Definitely two of the hardest matchups for this deck, unless you have Knight in hand. Knight for Miner and Graveyard, and then counter push. This is what you need to do for the whole game, as they always do the same thing (most of the time).
If you don’t have Knight in rotation, be ready to take some damage.
LumberLoon
If Poisoned Gravy and Miner Poison were 5/10 for difficulty, LumberLoon is 10/10. Very, very hard matchup, due to the fact that Rocket saves your life.
So, you can’t really get that tower damage in double elixir or OT.
Also, the Balloon’s death damage almost always hits the tower, pressurizing you.
Your best bet here is to pressurize him as much as you can, but you will see that most of the time even that doesn’t work.
So, the winrate is a meagre 16% (Me and my neighbour combined have versed LumberLoon 50 times in the past 2 months, and we only won 8 of them. My neighbour is in Challenger 2 currently.)
Other Balloon Decks
Surprisingly very very easy, especially Miner MK Balloon.
Rocket once again and Ice Spirit for additional support.
Most of the time, they will not have an efficient counters to this deck, giving you a huge win rate of 90%
Sparky (without Giant)
Very easy as well, as you have Rocket for Sparky and there really is no use using Sparky for a Goblin Barrel.
Winrate: 95%
Giant Sparky
Win rate: 80%
Slightly harder, but still easy to beat. Just use that Rocket and Inferno Tower for Giant. Say GG afterwards. Knight or Goblin Gang on supports.
Giant:
You will win 99 out of a 100 times.
Easy. Very very easy. Knight on supports and Inferno Tower or even Goblin Gang on Giant.
P.E.K.K.A
Win rate: 75%
Basically same strategy as Giant decks, but much harder, as you don’t want that P.E.K.K.A going for the Knight (which is meant to kill the supports).
So, you need that Goblin Gang to protect Knight. Inferno Tower rarely needed.
Lavahound:
Win rate (LavaLoon): 30% (Lavahound): 85%
Easy. Pressurize other lane and Inferno that LH. Princess for Lavapups and Lightning doesn’t matter much in this matchup.
However, LavaLoon is much much harder. Luckily it’s not in the meta anymore. For LavaLoon, pressurize, Inferno Tower, Princess, Ice spirit and then Goblin Gang. Knight to distract supports.
Royal Giant
Win rate: 60%
GG Giant, the annoying one. Once again, Inferno Tower, but BE VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE INFERNO TOWER LOCKS ONTO THE RG!!!!!!!!!!
Mega Knight:
Win rate: 75%Basically the same thing as P.E.K.K.A.
Siege
Win rate: 90%
To be honest, very easy as well. You have Knight, IT and Goblin Gang, along with Rocket. Enough to cause a migraine???
Tips:
- Use Inferno Tower in 4-3 placement
- Use Goblin Gang + Ice spirit for an incoming Hog rather than IT
- Use Goblin Barrel in anti – tornado spot (so that the Goblins get stuck on their Crown Tower)
- Switch up your Goblin Barrel placements
- A goblin Gang can completely shut down a MK
- Rocket those Elixir Collectors
- Rocket anything that costs 4 or more elixir if you can also get the tower
- Princess and Ice Spirit for that Minion Horde.
- Never, and I mean never overcommit or wait even when you have 10 elixir.
- Always be confident to start off with that first move.
- Try to pull that MK or something else using Goblin Gang to the King Tower
- Remember how much tower damage Rocket and Log do
- Try to use as many other decks as possible, so you know your opponent’s mindset.
That’s it dudes! You have survived a very looooooooooooooong guide.
Below is a video of me playing (sorry about poor audio and my voice is just CRINGE).

well

I understand that you’re trying to make ftp versions of Bait decks, but if you have the Legendaries, the original version still works best.
The Tesla version is better because you get a neutral trade versus the Hog and as for the Golem; you’ve got other troops like the Goblin Gang and the Knight to chip it down
Yeah, you can use Tornado or Inferno Tower in place for the Tesla as well.
Agree. This site is mostly for already quite skilled players and most people have the legendaries. There are only 2 legendaries in the original version and they do so much better job than the replacements. Also, dart gob is not so good in this deck. I’d use archers instead. More value and DPS and health.
The idea is to bait out the log; the archers don’t give Log value because it doesn’t kill them
Oh yeah. Good point. xD
Fire spirits could work in that type of scenario
I use ice wizard in place of princess lmao
Yes, you’re right in that way. But at the same time, not everyone has access to all of the Legendaries like I do.
yeah that’s true. Free to play versions of legendary heavy decks are always welcome.
4th
4th
nope
5th lol
How is my deck? It has:
Miner
Barrel
Poison
Inferno Tower
Knight
Ice Spirit
Mega Minion (Could place on top of an Hog Rider from the opponent in addition to my Inferno Tower and doesn’t die if they pig push with melee attackers)
and The Log
The idea of the deck is the same as the classic Miner Poison but there is a goblin barrel instead of the bandit because the Bandit isn’t reliable in my arena when people over-commit in everything (defense and offense) and the Barrel baits out the Zap so my Inferno Tower won’t fear a zap
The Mega Minion is better than the E-wiz for this because you can’t build up a defense against a P.E.K.K.A beatdown push or a Golem push because these are slow kinds of pushes and the E-wiz is too fast.
Also the E-wiz can’t be deployed on top of big pushes so it’s harder to make sure it attacks the card you need; with the Mega Minion you can use the “tank and spank” thing that you can’t with the E-wiz. Big Pushes will also kill the Electro Wizard easier than the will the Mega Minion because cards like the Night Witch or the LJ in golem pushes or the P.E.K.K.A itself will kill the E-wiz, but they won’t kill the Mega Minion.
So it basically is a new version of Miner Poison that is a bit similar to The Logbait
(I’m at 3500 trophies but this deck is meant to generally be used in the ladder as long as you see the E-Barbs)
Would replace Mega for Minions. More threat and synergy with Miner.
But they are really spell vulnerable and I have enough offense with miner, barrel and poison
You could give a bait element to the deck. Minions, Inferno Tower, Barrel. See the pattern?
No need for a bait element, I haven’t got enough bait cards so I would just get rekt by having someone fireball my minions or arrow them
Damn i’m late
Very nice guide! However I suck at bait and it’s my least favorite archetype. A lot of cards are too level dependent.
Well, we have different opinions. I like Bait, it’s my fave, but I enjoy Hog control as well.
I love hog cycle and control too!
How would you guys like to see this f2p miner arrow bait deck guide? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/878b5224753e6355b483e669c68bdd711f9f903193918b1ff75ea4d9fbfef2e6.png
I would rather use something like a knight instead of the ice golem
like the only reason to not use the knight instead is kiting, but kiting isn’t necessarily needed when you can just use the tank and spank thing for P.E.K.K.A wizard thing that exists in lower parts of the ladder
I would replace the archers with the ice spirit and the ice golem with the knight, maybe even fireball for poison because this way you can catch in the ladder people that over commit with multiple splash troops on defending the miner. it also does more damage (and kills the electro wizard)
Agree with Poison. But I like Fireball’s imediate damage. E-Wiz gets severely damaged anyway. Also Fireball is easier to level up and this is a f2p deck.
the only problem i see as a trouble is exenado
Agreed
Poisoned=DED
looks good, but maybe replace archers with princess for that extra bait? and no offence, but I prefer the original miner poison
Happy Halloween guys! Don’t forget to watch the new Stranger Things season!
what’s stranger things??
A TV Show 😀
It isn’t halloween yet xD
it’s on oct 31
Yeah i know xD
Kk. Celebration in advance?
Binge watched half the season already 🙂 Do you know why one of my guides I submitted a couple weeks ago did not post? It was called something like the new and better lava loon
I can check the database. Which day was it posted? Try resubmitting the guide.
I really do not know 3-4 weeks ago maybe
I am checking rn. Wait a sec
ok thanks
I think it was becaue Supermarine’s deck already posted. A similar Lavaloon deck possibly
ok 🙁
yeah 🙁 don’t be disheartened, write a unique or off-meta guide! It will be posted i’m sure!
I never watch that show lol XD
Lol as a challenge for Halloween, I decided to try to win a match with an all skeletons deck (which I have already finished lol)
did u win?
I won 1 match with an all skeletons deck
just now?
That was like 2 hrs ago
How do I post a friend request in chat?
just copy the link onto clipboard and paste to here
Ok I really need a deck for arena 9, can someone help? Have miner as leggie and can play hog/miner with some sturdy defense (Like the Tornadoes Tower deck)
Here:
Hog
Barrel
Gang
Ice spirit
Fireball
dart goblin
tombstone
Arrows,
really strong, and cheap, you van try knight instead of ice spirit if you think it’s too squishy
he might not have a high level gang or dart goblin…the gang will just die to zap
yep, my g gang is lvl 6 right now. My dart gob is lvl 3
How many legendaries do you have? If you have a good level mortar and are good at siege, try mortar rocket cycle.
Have only miner and my mortar is lvl 8. Come to think of it, only my x-bow, arrows and miner are even leveled. And yes, I’m good at siege, but x-bow not mortar.
What lvl is your hog?
Lvl 6. Its amazing that I even made it to jungle.
that’s decent. Request him to lvl 7. Do you like hog cycle with ice golem, archers, and tesla or slow control with pekka and ewiz?
kinda in between. The deck i used to get to arena 9 is:
Hog
Valk
Baby D
Fireball
Zap
Inferno Tower
Minions
Mini Pekka
You don’t need mp and inferno tower. Ditch one. You need another swarm card
The problem is that my ice golem is underleveled. I will try Knight though. Both the mini pekka and the Inferno tower are important as mini pekka allows me the freedom to use my inferno on tanks. I could replace the mini pekka for an ice spirit or fire spirits though.
Knight works very well. Mini Pekka is a tank killer itself. Use Knight to distract support and kill tank with MP. You don’t need two tank killers in a hog cycle deck
So replace the Inferno for tombstone or cannon?
Replace inferno for another swarm card. Goblins or Gob Gang.
but then the problem is that I will have no buildings.
You don’t necesssarily need a building.
ok then. Thanks a lot!
good luck making it to a10 🙂
Praying for u
1 like = 1 prayer xD
yeet yeet
Also valk doesn’t really cut it, for better cycle and value, use ice golem. Or if you want more solid defense use knight. Baby D is sort of awkward, replace with a cheap air defense.
Here’s a really good hog cycle i used to get from a8-3200 trophies:
http://216.194.165.92/~clashroyalearena/deck-building/ice-hog-rider-deck
You don’t have E-Wiz so replace with Musketeer.
Well done!
But I got to a10 with my lv5 hog and lv2 goblin barrel LOL
It’s definitely the classic hog log bait with no legendary and right now I’m at 4.2k
You can use the immortal x-bow deck and replace electro wiz mega minion and log with zap
or instead of e wiz use musket. Instead of log i’d use arrows.
I guess but the problem is that I don’t really have good x-bow support then. I’m used to x-bow poison. Maybe I should write a guide on it.
Maybe write a guide if you get good successes with it! Tell me if u get to a10!
I got 6-0 with Misplaced Rockets and 5-1 with Salty Goblins!
congrats
Thanks! But I did go 2-4 with Viva La Sparky…
I got 6-2 with Vitamin C.
I went 3-3 with that
well I gtg now
Bye
I am really bad at 3m decks
Viva la sparky has like no defdnse
sparky, mega minion, goblins, tornado, ice golem, desperate defensive barrel.
Try this one. It’s not a Hog Deck, but I think it will do.
Mortar
Miner
Ice Wizard/Wizard
Bowler
Tornado
Guards
Mega Minion
Ice Spirit
use xbow, it’s good. there are plenty of xbow decks in cra, just use whatever deck that suits you best.
People add me!!!! https://link.clashroyale.com/invite/friend/en?tag=GJQLRCP2&token=d7cf62bc&platform=iOS
wait a sec
Gotcha
-Inflictro
i already added u!!!!!
oh lol
2v2?
maybe I should make a guide about my mortar elite barb deck
Hmm interesting
No please don’t xD 😉
how does it work? I personally like miner mortar, but this is just too much…
basically you play it like a normal mortar deck, defend with knight, musketeer and ice wizard and usually they spend( the opponent) a ton of elixer like rocketing and putting an inferno tower, then the fun begins because they are down a ton of elixer you can rush with elite barbarians and destroy their tower then you put down a mortar on the other side and laugh as they realize they spent all of their elixer defending the E Barbs. I will try to post this guide and submit it tonight, if I have time
the deck looks really cool except for one problem… IT HAS FREAKING EBARBS. could you replace them with hog?
U CHIEF PATTED THAT ROCKET in the 2v2
ik omg that sucked
yeah lol
I missed the executioner and furnace
XD
does anyone have a good golem deck that can get me back to challenger 1? im having a bit of trouble right now
golem ram 3m? if you’re good at super heavy decks
might try that, but 3M is lvl 8…
do u face lots of lvl 9 fireball? Bet u do probably…
go to nickatnytes youtube channel and check out his golem lumberjack deck.
Yeah golem lumberjack is good. But, legit skill, don’t get influenced by us! Use whatever golem deck suits you.
lumberjack is the only legendary i dont have besides mk :/
use log bait, it’s pretty good in the meta. or you can use the lj-nw-bandit golem deck
Classic golem beatdown?
Ill give this deck a test drive
I’m so conflicted. I have been saving up for the mega knight in my shop but I got my favorite legendary the ice wiz in their and it would be level two if I bought it. I get gold pretty frequently from challenges should I risk it and buy the ice wiz and start saving up gold for the mega knight?
I would go for MK since Ice wiz is level independent but meh you’re choice
thanks for your opinion
actually ice wiz is kinda lvl dependent lol (at least from my perspective)
i would say it depends if you want to master a new deck archetype
would mega knight work well in a hog deck?
MK protects Hog against swarms, but I think P.E.K.K.A Hog is better.
yea I use pekka hog
I like Mk hog better. Better synergy with hog. Also destroys Huge ebarb pushes like they’re nothing just as well as pekka. One time I killed ebarbs, a wizard, an ewiz, a bandit, and ice golem with a mega Knight and log. They gave me a crying face. I use Mk purely to counter ebarbs
I’m running Mk hog ID ewiz at 3.4k. All good.
can u gimme that deck? trying to get past 3200
Mega knight, e wiz, inferno dragon, hog, fireball, ice spirit, zap, goblins
Same here except 3300
get MK
what is the clan name called
Ghetto Prophecy.
May i sub it for ht?
what
What’s he saying?
If he could sub inferno tower for something
Not recommended
Tornado is just as good as IT in logbait
Mirror maybe?
Ok so mirror would be to duplicate that extra knight or goblin gang on defense, and more pressure with rocket and goblin barrel on offense(makes it less f2p friendly though)
Ht is hidden tesla -_-
oh lmao
Yes you can use tesla
nice deck and guide supermarine bro
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9bc6da3e53aeb35ca8e5d7118268cf0f9dfd521d5271f46319a5fd174976ced1.jpg
when did ultra-heavy decks become meta?
Srsly…xD
New meta
their not meta its just some imbecile trolling
Y DU I SI THEM OFEN?
new meta confirmed XD
whoa that deck brought him to 4k!! i must use it since it does better than my knight log bait and hog cycle!!
really? Mine or his?
nah joking
🙁 check out mine btw (play it like bridge spam but with beatdown eleement)
I’m so triggered rn, just played the elite challenge for a 100 gems to get 8-2
I never do replays. Too risky to pay so many gems when you can easily lose
I did it cuz i felt confident and i was sure i could do it, and i could’ve doni it, but i was just unlucky
Do u mean 8-3?
Yes
I feel bad for you
dude i went 5-3 in the elite challenge…
But you got 5-3 on your free entry didn’t you
yea but i dont have enough gems
yes bro me too i also went 5-3 lol in elite but got a night witch from that challenge chest
lucky… my legendary luck is just trash right now…
oh sadness i also got a legend after so many months 🙁
I went 2-3…
I went 8-2 and cried for an hour..lol
xD
dont worry got 7-3 for 100 gems… I went for it cus i got an ewiz for my first 8-3 chest…
Okay, it really feels bad
?? the challenge was pretty easy imo. I got 9-1 in elite in the free try, and got EWIZ!!! unfortunately I don’t use him that much
Not when you face people that are really good…
yeah, I mostly faced people below legendary arena
Guys shut up. I went 1-3
if you’e having trouble in jungle arena i have a deck that got me to 3.1k as lvl 7 if anyone is interested in it
I’m not, but there are many who are struggling in arena 9, so go for it!
the real logbait got me to legendary arena
Same, but I got to challenger III using LavaLoon
Up LavaLoon
ikr
Basically a original log bait just instead of princess dart gob
Log replaced by arrows
and ice spirit replaced by minions
That’s almost half of the deck changed
Well, if I took a meta deck and replaced the Legendaries and changed one other card I would also have half the deck changed. What “Lol mate no idea for a name” means is that this is just the OG deck with Legendaries replaced and then Ice Spirit replaced with Minions.
F2P doesnt mean there shouldn’t be legendaries in a deck
Arrows and log is quite level independent so it doesnt change much(log is more versatile anyway)
Also We need princess to snipe other tower without being attacked
legendaries are hard to upgrade and when you’re trophy pushing your’re legendaries will be under leveled if you f2p
Yeah but Level 1 Log kills Level 12 Goblins. So all u need is a level 2 Log
true
princess is level independent.
hey will, i have an idea for the poll: what is your favorite legendary card?
(although i think i would be the only one who would vote ice wiz lol)
sorry to say this lightning but log
nah im with the ice wiz
I like Ice wiz as it was my first legendary and I use it a lot, but for me I love the Log or the Sparky currently
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYY

Guys I have a discussion: Is rocket a card that require the least bit of skill? Are there other cards that require less skill than rocket?Let me know!
Clone
not that low skill I think. Need zoo watch out for poison etc
rocket requires low skill because…..you have to time it perfectly to hit anything?
Honestly, lightning Pre-nerf was the lowest skill spell in the game.
Rocket needs precise timing, even ChiefPat finds that hard.
Rocket does require skill
Rocket=Skill
new poll : what coommon card do you think should not have been introduced to the game? RG completely.
Yes i agree. Also elite barbs
Should I list all of those Commons?
Rg, Eb…anything else?

I completed friend in need II just in time before achievements get taken away next update!
That’s such a wow!
Hi dad
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
what?
Wow!
Why minions instead of ice spirit? They’re both commons aren’t they…
ikr
Better air coverage/MORE BAIT!!!
Sorry Supermarine, but this deck isn’t a very good version of the NORMAL SPELL BAIT. I can see that you replaced Princess with Dart Goblin and Log with Arrows.
Firstly, DG doesn’t work very well in this deck substituting Princess, a splash damaging card mainly used to take out those Minion Hordes behind the tank.
Secondly, arrows for Log doesn’t work well at all. In situation such as Knight, Goblin Barrel, Dart Goblin and arrows, with your next card as Goblin Gang, many people Log the Hog. But due to the fact u have arrows, it doesn’t even save you one hit from the Hog and it’s more expensive. Replace Arrows with Zap.
Finally, Minions for Ice Spirit??? Why?? Yes it’s spell – bait and yes it’s an aggressive deck, but you still want that cycle! On addition to that, Ice Spirit synergizes very well with Knight and Goblin Gang.
Other than that, it’s a really good, detailed guide. Sorry for the criticism mate! Just my thoughts!
The arrows are there because the dg doesnt do splash…..
Honestly the deck is usable if you sub minions for ice spirit. That one scenario you mentioned doesn’t end the game. Usually, good players save their hog counters for the hog and never allow for such a bad cycle. In general, your cycle lines up with theirs and barrel shouldn’t be in your hand when their hog is in theirs. This game is full of alternating offense and defense so if your cycle is that screwed up you did something wrong.
Yeah I use arrows instead of the log in my log bait too
I’ve seen A LOT OF players using log bait(log verson) at 4000+ and my arrows verson didn’t lose a match
That is true, but most of the people here are people in arenas 9 and 10 and even 8. People in arena 11 most likely won’t even need to use it.
So people in arenas 8,9 and 10 aren’t very used to card counting and stuff like that
Why else did I put the Counting Cards guide in there?
idk
Arrows can kill minion horde!
Don’t worry bro! Everyone’s opinion is different!
Ok thx
ice spirit also has good synergy with barrel
Exactly
Guys uv gotta watch this:

It is so sad that I am decently good at The Log Bait based on playing on friend’s account, yet on m-y main account I have no princess. And literally Princess is one of the few legendaries I haven’t unlocked (I am at Challenger 1) Username: xX_BGCuber_Xx Clan: CHILLwithSHANE. And now while it is meta is when I don’t have her.
Just use dart gob
I posted this exact same deck like 2 weeks ago with just as much detail LOL wow
Well you posted this exact same deck which someone else also wrote on before. Also you said it was a rocket chip deck. It shouldn’t be called ‘Rocket Chip’. It’s a LOG BAIT deck.
1st?
after repost u mean
first reply to the first person after the repost
So? It’s just the most popular bait deck in the game! Everyone knows how to use it already!
yeah bait has been around for a long time now….
hm… im running a variant of the original deck but with zap/arrows instead of log
anyway, great guide (although this deck has been posted like 3 times)
B-b-b-b-bAIT?!?! Shoulda noted that X-Pump beats bait.
Yes it is. It’s in the dictionary
I put is not being used correctly…
???
Reload page
Umm… I reloaded Page and your comment disappeared…
How’s F2P friendlies going?
Too hard to find decks that will work well and I don’t have a lot of motivation
wat about hog trifecta?
I guess I could try that…
2nd after repost???
Title: Can I master bait?
There is either a lot of innocence or this wasn’t thought through properly.
innuendos ftw
Wow. I get that now
#feelsbadman
3rd after repost?
For lavaloon I can also rocket the loom, just make sure it does not become chief pat’s rocket
Lol
Bruh stop posting logbait and maybe do a guide on 2.6 hog cycle or 2.9 miner poison
or maybe off-meta or hybrid decks
yeah
I’m doing mortar cycle next probably
Sorry dude but did u read my disclaimer??
im using trifecta, how bout that 😉
4th after repost
I have 3 more versions of good bait: miner bait, and the real knight bait with tornado, and the original spell bait with bowler. and there is hog bait, but it’s not that good right now. you should have included all those bait variants in your guide, but you covered all the meta ones anyway.
ps: bait is sometimes hard to use on ladder because of stupid decks with 3 light spells
Ah, the tornado variation of the logbait. It’s good against hogs, but terrible vs beatdown. So I would stick to the classic logbait, as it counters beatdown (most of the time) and is good vs hogs.
Hello
The two siege decks (Xbow and mortar) should be separately discussed. Logbait can beat Xbow (skills required), but it is hard countered by mortar (especially mortar rocket cycle). Logbait beats mortar only when the mortar player doesn’t know how to use it.
not true
yes it’s true
I never faced mortar when I played spell bait, but something tells me you are right…
For this deck wasnt long but nice,detailed,unique encyclopedia though
5th after repost,maybe?0
Worst spell bait matchup: other spell bait decks
True for me
my worst matchup: mortar cycle or MK
For me it’s mega pekka
(Not giant anymore! I got 11wins in classic challenge with my own giant deck! Now I know how to counter/use it lol)
do you mean in general or with this specific spell bait deck?
How do I make my own guide?
Do I have to put images of the cards or will the guy that checks the article do that?
Pics are added for you. There is a guide submission tab at the top.
does ice wizard fit in siege(xbow) decks better than ewiz?
Yea I think so
Ice Wizard is slower and can be put in the back as an investment play. Ice Wizard also has more health than Electro Wizard. Generally Ice Wizard is considered better in X-Bow decks, But I’m using Electro Wizard. It’s up to personal preference.
dont forget the fact that ice wizard costs less 😉
greater health pool for its cost. Indeed.
except my ewiz is lvl 2 and my ice wiz is lvl 1, and then its FLIPPED on my other account (lvl 2 ice wiz and lvl 1 ewiz)
the game is so evil to me
3 spells??
yeah, Fireball, Zap, The Log is a common spell combination in Giant decks.
Fireball zap log
HIYA!! ME IS BACK!!!
cool.
And why has this been posted again? I get the fact that this is a comprehensive guide, but unfortunately I was unable to find something(major detail or helpful fact, not new words or stuff) new in this guide that was missing in the previous ones.
Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn’t we wait for the opponent to make his(or her) move first?
unless you have barrel throw it or gang i split or cycle ice spirit
usually I throw a barrel to bait out the log so i can defend
shouldnt rocket barrel deck be shownwith rocket
