SIGNATURE SUPPORT
Mega Knight
Mega Knight is the bridge between defence and pressure. Protect its remaining health for the counterpush.
DECK BREAKDOWN
Mega Knight The Log
No dedicated win condition is the tower threat. Mega Knight builds the counterpush, while The Log opens the connection that matters. The guide below explains when to commit each piece instead of merely listing the deck's roles.

THE EXACT 8-CARD LIST
DECK IDENTITY
The three cards that define the list
The name comes from the actual core: win condition first, signature support second, defining spell last. Close variants therefore get different, recognizable names.
DEFINING SPELL
The Log
The Log should remove the answer that stops the push, not be spent automatically for chip damage.
PILOTING PLAN
What to do over the course of a match
A usable sequence for this exact eight-card list, with the commitment point made explicit.
Scout without losing the rotation
Use Dart Goblin as the low-risk opener. Hold No dedicated win condition until you have identified the opponent's cleanest answer and its position in the cycle.
Defend into one counterpush
Take the efficient defence with Mega Knight. Add No dedicated win condition only when that support survives or the opponent has just overspent; otherwise reset and keep the elixir lead.
Force the decisive connection
In double elixir, repeat No dedicated win condition faster but keep enough elixir for The Log. Cast it on the defensive answer and tower together; a spell with no push behind it does not advance the plan.
How it wins
The pressure this deck applies, strongest angle first.
- Spell bait — layered cheap threats that punish a spent small spell.
Where it breaks
Structural weak points read off the deck's own shell, not off a single matchup.
- No dominant structural weakness — this shell covers its own gaps, so its losses come from matchups and piloting rather than a missing answer.
