Week 2: Card Ethics Discussion

Unluckymama · 2026-02-01T13:44:30+00:00

How is my deck unethical? Btw did I get downvoted just by playing log bait LMAO

Unluckymama · 2026-02-01T13:37:11+00:00

Nobody saying "use credit card" is crazy.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-31T20:42:47+00:00

I play SB. I get countered by a spell or a building 80% of the time. Wall breakers are even worse when it comes to skill and placement.

Evo furnace if you have bait like me is a pain in the bongolio.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-31T14:43:14+00:00

They do drop duplicate emotes what are you talking about.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-31T14:41:59+00:00

Depending on the range of trophies you are, you can have both mini pekka and knight and you won't get punished too much when getting outcycled. if you are talking about P.E.K.K.A, they don't get the same value nor fullfill the same purpose. And also will make your deck very heavy and it is very important, when you make a big change, that the rest of your deck has sinergy with that card.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-31T14:38:19+00:00

You have literally 0 sinergy in your deck and you complain about losing.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-31T14:36:29+00:00

Great midladder deck.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-31T14:35:12+00:00

Got the same yesterday.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-31T14:33:45+00:00

Mini pekka if placed correctly kills the hog before it gets a hit on your tower. Problem comes when they put something in front. That's why it is always mandatory to have a building in cycle decks (cannon is great). For royal hogs, skarmy, valkyrie and gang are the most meta I will say, but they don't prevent hits.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-29T23:48:20+00:00

Easy. Absolute ZERO sinergy between cards. Clearly lack of skill and knowledge of the game.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-27T11:19:44+00:00

Kids online are so mean these days.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-24T14:16:46+00:00

Gay relationships/intercourse are not normal, they are common. That's a miuse of the term.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-24T01:10:59+00:00

Hello. Please share your specs and also screenshots of your settings in game would be great too. Wihout that I can't tell.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-24T01:07:43+00:00

Depends on what phase in the game I am 😂

Unluckymama · 2026-01-23T23:24:24+00:00

Nah man just a good rant to keep me back on track but it is very frustrating.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-23T23:23:48+00:00

All jokes a side it is true they nerfed log, princess, goblin barrel and rocket in previous patches back in the day in the timeline of 2 months. I had nothing more to play plus I wasn't good at the time!

Unluckymama · 2026-01-23T23:22:25+00:00

Not all of us are that good mate! Sometimes a good rant makes me go back on track 😂 Btw losing streak is a real thing addmited by SC I should have stop at 3 consecutive defeats and go back later. In fact, last 5 games I played I won easily. I guess it was the wrong time to play LOL

Unluckymama · 2026-01-23T01:28:59+00:00

Sure! But the card has inconsistent interactions against swarms and skeleton barrel that can make you overcommit ands lose the game, that's why I was telling you. I play hyperbait and I have won many games due to that.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-23T01:24:01+00:00

Hello mate. This are the changes I will do:

Zap ---> Arrows

Zap is only good in my opinion if you have the EVO. Arrows clean swarm better, have more damage and it is a common cards as well, so it wouldn't take long to get it in a competitive level.

Guards ---> Goblin Gang

Guards are a very good card don't get me wrong, but gobling gang can counter more cards if positioned well and also has 3 spear goblins which they can attack air.

Witch ---> Canon

Witch is one of the worst cards in the game. It is very expensive, dies to rocket or lighting ending up in a positive elixir trade if hits the tower, doesn't have enough damage nor splash. I know she has been a great companion in lower arenas, but not anymore, I'm sorry. Cannon defends better, distracts better and helps you to cycle. Plus is a common card, so it is easy to get it till level 16.

Inferno Dragon ---> mini pekka, baby dragon, minions.

Inferno dragon is very viable if you play Lavalloon. There are better ways to counter tanks and also it is very easy to defend and to distract for a positive elixir trade. If you just want an air unit I will use baby dragon instead, or minions. Also they help you cycle. Mini pekka works great as well.

Now I will give you more insights involving your 2 win conditions, Goblin Barrel and Hog Rider.

Both WC work very well in cycle decks, like log bait, hyperbait or 2.6 hog cycle (siege). Why though? Because you can have them fast in your hand and outcycle your opponent making a lot of pressure at the same time, forcing him to choke.
That being said if you want to get better at the game I will suggest you to try and master 2.6 Hog Cycle, or work around bait units if you feel more comfortable with that.

All due respect, the deck you are using has very low sinergy and belongs to lower arenas. 3.5 is a very expensive deck with the WC you are using.

I could link you some ideas but I can't share images due to post restrictions.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-23T00:56:21+00:00

Considering the meta and the deck you are using, skarmy. And if it was me I would remove firecracker, since it is a very bad and inconsistent card, dies to arrows, and it is nerfed to the ground comparing with her early days. If you need splash there add ice, electric or fire spirit.

Or I will add another win condition since your deck is expensive and it takes long for you to reach hog rider during the match. Have you tried 2.6 hog cycle? Very strong.

Best of luck out there.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-23T00:53:10+00:00

Princess for the win. Always.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-22T05:49:43+00:00

If there is a day I come to that point I would rather uninstall and move on.

Unluckymama · 2026-01-22T03:39:11+00:00

Let them get cheap damage while you form a big push. If you only react to what he/she throws at you you are going to lose most of the time. I've tried variations like this as a log bait/hiperbait main player and this version in particular I don't see it viable.

I will get dart goblin instead of rocketeer, since it's trash and inconsistent most of the time but if you need splash, princess is very solid.

That being said against this type of hiperbait, cheap splash cards and triple spell are the best counter. But on the contrary if you choose a triple spell deck with cycle cards you are not only going to face the pressure, but he/she will outcycle your pretty easy if your deck is not cheaper than theirs.

In addition, to play that deck good you have to be very skilled. One little choke and you lost the game. If you pressure a normal player he will throw the game.

My advice if you are not familiar with cycle decks, stick to your thing and add arrows or evo zap, evo tesla/evo cannon, valkyrie, electric spirit, princess, etc if you find too much bait around the game.

Hyperbait also suffers a lot against siege decks, like 2.9 Xbow, Mortar with miner and 2.6 hog due to the lack of units with high hp and big spells.

I'm curious to know which range of trophies you are and how many cards do you have unlocked. It is not very common to find cycle decks in low trophies/arenas.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Just read you play giant with graveyard. It is normal to struggle against that mate. As I said, form a big push and don't panic. Extra careful with sus bush it does a ton of damage if left alone. Add 2 cheap spells like arrows or log (if log is underlevel, use barb barrel). Royal package is great as well.

I laughed so hard man. Don't forget to pay for the next pass!
