Clash Royale Deck #1 (Submitted by Altonexus3)iDigitalTimes
This deck can handle a variety of different situations because it combines many different kinds of cards from tanks to range and air attackers to swarms. I usually start slow with this deck so I can see what the other player has and know how to combat. This deck is great for setting up two lines of attack. The Goblin Hut on your “fake out” lane will help you combat a variety of attackers that may come at your tower. Meanwhile, you can save up elixir to deploy heavier combos. I will often throw down a giant behind one of my towers to let it build momentum, and then when it hits the bridge follow it with a witch and prince, witch and spear goblins or prince and spear goblins. Any of those three combined make a nearly unstoppable force. Sometimes it means you may have to sacrifice a bit on the “fake out” tower – possibly even losing it, but you will usually take out their side tower and deal considerable damage to your opponent's king tower. If he or she is really caught off guard, you can often push more troops right behind that power combo and take down the king tower seconds after the first tower goes down.

Deck Strategy/Explanation
This deck is great for two-lane fighting. The barbarian hut and goblin hut combined on the same side can make powerful defense and even crushing offense if your opponent isn’t paying attention. Laying those down can allow you to attack on the other lane without worry too much about what might be happening to your tower over there. Meanwhile, the witch, Giant and spear goblins or baby dragon can be a powerful force that’s difficult to stop from inflicting damage. You can surprise you opponent with this combo by letting them spend all their elixir on the side where the barbarian hut and spear goblins are attacking. You may take some damage on that side waiting for your elixir to build up but it won’t be huge. Once you get to 10, drop your Giant and Witch right at the bridge and quickly follow with the spear goblins. It will catch your opponent off guard and make it difficult to combat since he/she will have little elixir.

Deck Strategy/Explanation
I love this deck. It's gotten me tons of wins. It has a great mix-up but with extreme power. When a goblin hut is in the back and a giant skeleton and a baby dragon combo in the same lane, the attack is ruthless. The witch/dragon/spear goblins take care of any air attacks against me. The Valkyrie helps with powerful troops like the hog rider or prince. The arrows take out hordes quickly. The rocket can destroy a tower in a last second pinch, or do damage a tower and take out 2-3 huts simultaneously.

Skeletons (lv 4)
Minion Hoard (lv 5)
Prince (lv 3)
Arrows (lv 5)

Player Level: 7
Deck Strategy/Explanation
Pretend to be attacking one tower with barbarians or baby dragon. Then, drop the prince on the other side once they drop their troops for the counter.
Deploy barbarians followed by balloons
Deploy dragon followed by balloons
Use arrows to stop the minions from taking down your balloon
Use skeletons and goblins to counter prince, giant or giant skeleton
When facing Witches, must play more carefully. Allow the witch to lock onto one of your troops/towers and immediately deploy goblins/skeletons behind the witch.
Can counter skeleton army, but it is very hard to control mass spawn troops like goblin or barbarian hut.

I have gotten many 3 crown wins with this deck. It helped me push all the way up to 1900 trophies. I usually start the match by placing the giant behind the tower and then reinforce it with witch and musketeer. If the opponent decides to counter my push, I will just reinforce my push with minions or archers and goblins. The knight is a great counter or distractions for the Prince, Wizard or Giant Larry.
