DECK BREAKDOWN

Win conditions

What this deck is

Golem Beatdown is a beatdown shell built around Golem, Miner. It sits at 4.0 elixir, which sets how often you can repeat its pressure and how much you can afford to defend before answering back.

How it wins

The pressure this deck applies, strongest angle first.

  • Tank pressure — a heavy push the opponent has to answer with a full defence.

Where it breaks

Structural weak points read off the deck's own shell, not off a single matchup.

  • Thin anti-air: air win conditions get value before an answer lands.
  • Reset-exposed: the key defensive card is neutralized by a cheap reset.
  • Swarm-reliant defence: area damage clears the blockers this deck leans on.
