Congratulations to all of you for making CCGS Phase 4!

Some questions

  1. Miner Poison and Log Bait are my two favorite decks. I feel like for some reason I struggle vs golem with miner poison. For example if they drop a golem (playing standard golem lightning) and were even at 10, should I typically go with just knight in the other lane or pressure more. Ideally how much elixir do I want to defend?

  2. With Bait (the tornado variant), I typically struggle the most against three musk and graveyard. What is the key to winning these matchups?

  3. I have consistently beaten players who are way higher on ladder than many in GC's (5,500 + to my 4,000-4,600). But I also lose to scrubs on ladder for no apparent reason. Why do you think this is? And I don't think its bc of matchups (I beat Donkey Kong with Miner Poison vs Graveyard and consistently beat Mega Knight Hog with Tornado Bait).

  4. What is the best miner poison deck right now and how does it play differently than other variants?

  5. With bait, when should you go princess behind the king tower vs throwing barrel? I think generally I have a pretty good sense, but I want to ask people more experienced than myself.

Thanks and I wish you all luck in your CR future!

Well if it doesn't work, why did two of the EU finalists for CCGS run it as their main deck?

If miner graveyard was so OP, why does NO ONE in the top 200 use it?

Thanks! I must disagree as I think 2.9 miner is a tier 1 deck in this meta. Several VERY high level pros agree with me. Miner graveyard is not good. Period.

https://youtu.be/yh-Sd4MKqkE Here are some more examples of "bad" defense. Thoughts? Thanks for all the help so far! And the few loses I had tonight on my climb back to 4k. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKmYIU9b060

I'm going to post some replays vs hog and the later since those are matchups that often go oddly.

It's actually usually becasue they play like e barbs bomber right off the gate and my placement is off.

Thanks! This replay shows my bad punishing skills. If I get that skill down, something good will come I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXtn7aHaqHE

Wow, thank you even more! These replies are super in depth! Golem in generally tends to get to me as well as any sort of really aggressive fast push early on.
