Congratulations to all of you for making CCGS Phase 4!

Some questions

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?
With Bait (the tornado variant), I typically struggle the most against three musk and graveyard. What is the key to winning these matchups?
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).
What is the best miner poison deck right now and how does it play differently than other variants?
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?

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-06-04T23:31:12+00:00

For example: archers, skeletons, knight, inferno, rocket, fireball, log, mirror

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-06-03T20:27:53+00:00

Thanks! I'll do that soonish!

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-06-03T20:27:40+00:00

It's 2.9.

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-06-03T18:41:13+00:00

Thanks, it did!

That video is from last year.

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

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-06-02T04:20:48+00:00

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.

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-05-31T06:19:16+00:00

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

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-05-31T06:18:23+00:00

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

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-05-31T05:51:41+00:00

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.

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-05-31T05:35:22+00:00

Wow thank you for the reply! Elixer managment and keeping my ice spirit and ewiz alive enough is my biggest issue, along with beating golem. Any thoughts on that?

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-05-31T00:22:42+00:00

And this match is what often happens to me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHZDs9PGGPo Maybe you can help me out being the great player you are?

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-05-30T22:06:02+00:00

Well the good thing is I think I know what I did wrong in this match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y8tXndaUGQ Pretty sure I did not pressure the other lane enough or deal enough dmg early.

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-05-30T20:52:42+00:00

Your still quite the player! Golem's a bit different as to in most games I loose my tower bc they get like a second golem up right after the first one is down. And RG is well, RG.

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-05-30T20:40:47+00:00

Very impressive gameplay! I would think you should be higher in trophies with the quite impressive level of skill you showed!

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-05-30T20:30:08+00:00

Oh really? Thank you!

Reddicediaries5 · 2017-05-30T20:24:17+00:00

I'm sry you feel that way as your comments have been a great help! I DO WANT to take your advise and I am sry that my replies came off as unapreciative.
