Overall a great utility spell and cycle card. The short stun can give a hog an extra hit too. Use it with a hog or against infernos that are targeted on your mega knight. They can chip a tower alone on offence, or they can defend and distract units on defense. They are decent behind a hog, mega knight, or an ice golem. These high DPS cycle cards can really go anywhere in this deck. He’s also a last resort to try to slow a massive enemy push. If you drop him right in front of a hog rider, then the hog will push him all the way to the tower while the ice golem is soaking damage. He is a great cycle card and is a pro at kiting units all around the arena. This snowman has very high HP for only two elixir. They are also the perfect combo behind the mega knight because if your opponent doesn’t have arrows then the minions are extremely hard to stop before they wreck the tower. If your opponent ignores full health minions, they can deal 500+ damage to a tower!

Their main role is to defend smaller pushes and to get an elixir advantage. Surprising them with this tactic can get you a tower and sometimes even the game! Minions Try to figure out how they defend your hog rider during single elixir, and if they keep countering hogs with squishy troops, then throw poison down around your hog. I generally try to not use it until double elixir, but sometimes the situation calls for it. It’s your main counter to princesses and elixir collectors. He’s pretty easy to learn and pretty useful too. He works well with the mega knight on both defense and offence, as he can take out tanks while the mega knight jumps on support troops and shields for the weaker dragon. His big role is to take out tanks and mini tanks coming for your tower. This mean green dragon melts tanks easily. In double elixir, you can go highly offensive with hog and poison.

He can also add to your mega knight push and deal damage to the tower while the mega knight distracts the tower and smashes defending troops. The zap also works well with the hog because it can take out the swarm troops that your opponent uses to defend the hog. He pairs well with the ice golem, as the ice golem can distract the tower and defending troops while the hog rider slaps the tower. This perfectly tanned bacon-riding menace is your main win condition. In double elixir you can easily defend a big push and then throw everything behind him for a massive unstoppable push! Hog Rider I rarely would deploy him in the back because you need to save his landing damage for defending hogs and other attacks. His main problem is DPS, so paring him with minions is a perfectly devastating push for only 10 elixir. In single elixir I only use him 1-3 times because he’s so expensive. His main role in this deck is defending pushes and then counterattacking with minions or a hog rider. This heavyweight boxer smashes down with the power of 1,000 mustaches. With practice, it’s an easy 12 wins in a grand or classic challenge. It’s pretty cheap and has good counters to basically all of the META win conditions. It also matches well against almost all the other archetypes, as I’ll talk about below. It’s a good balance of offence and defense, and it’s not too hard to learn how to play.

It’s very similar to some of the other Mega Knight Hog decks, but out of all the variations I’ve tried, this one works the best by far. So, without further ado, here’s the deck:
