Deck Spotlight
(01:08:25)
Quake City (2.8 AEC)
Cards: Hog Rider, Archers, Skeletons, Ice Golem, Snowball, Barbarian Barrel, Inferno Tower, Earthquake
Decksplanation: This deck has been a favorite of the CRL pro players, so we figured we’d give it a shot! This deck is the definition of a cycle deck. The cycle-ability of the deck is insane. The deck is very easy to use, but very hard to master. The high ceiling of the deck makes it difficult to master quickly, and so you’ll have to give yourself some time to learn it before you’ll feel comfortable playing it.
Simply speaking, your offensive push can be boiled down to the Hog Rider, supplemented with whatever you need to. If your opponent has a building, earthquake it away. If they have small troops, snowball them to allow your Hog time to get to the tower and get a hit or two off before he dies. If they have goblin gang, or smarmy and like to play them at the bridge, you can use either the barb barrel, or the ice golem in front of you Hog when you do your push. Because the cost of the support cards are so cheap in elixir, you’re effectively supplementing your Hog while at the same time cycling back to your Hog!! It’s like the Hog never leaves the Arena.
This logic also works with your two other main defensive cards, in the Archer and the Inferno tower. When defending, you can cycle back to whatever you need, while also distracting your opponent with the Ice Golem, Barb Barrel, Snowball, and/or Skeletons. By the time you finish distracting, you are effectively back to your defensive troop! And you’re ready to start a counter push. Small Tip: The Inferno Tower paired with the Snowball is amazing synergy. The snowball pushes things back and delays damage onto your Inferno Tower, so you have time to build up damage on the offensive threats and stop them in their tracks! Late in the game, don’t stop your Hog pushes, and be sure to use Earthquake and Snowball to damage buildings/troops AND the opponent’s tower to ensure you’re getting the chip damage you need to win the game. Ultimately, you have no huge spell – so late game, this is all you will have to end the game. Boom!

I know how much of your time you spent working on the podcast, and I have fallen back on the podcast when I was at my breaking point, and you have made me laugh even when I am “raging.” I wish you the very best in all that you try to do and keep booming on. I will always remember you and your podcast will always have a special place in my heart. Two questions:
1:My parents are preventing me from doing anything to support you in any way, but I want to support you in any way that you need. How can I help you without access to social media or clash?
2: How will you express your clash feelings and how can we keep you booming on without social media or clash?
Hey guys. It’s your old pal DiggerDerrik. Haven’t played the game or listened to the podcast for 2 years. For some reason I looked you up last night. Sad to hear you’re hanging it up. I know when I played I really enjoyed the show and your company. Looks like you had a heck of a run. Your show was always a great listen. I listened to this whole episode and still entertained. Real life always gets in the way of the fun. Congratulations on an excellent show fellas.
Digger!! Thanks so much brother we really appreciate you reaching out. Funny how sometimes the stars align – you randomly looking us up the other night. So happy that you liked the episode and grateful to hear from you. Take care of yourself bro. Boom!
