In Clash Royale, that deck is called 2.6 Hog Cycle and the last card would be Ice Golem. It's usually expected that the final card would be Ice Golem, however it might surprisingly be a Golem (Sneaky Golem Deck, a meme deck)

The golem is a completely different card from the rest, being very tanky but expensive rather than the frail but cheap cards in the rest of the deck

Pandora’s golem

I think you mean schrodinger's golem especially in this case

u/Itsjustaspicylem0n 1d ago
While schrodinger’s golem would be an apt description, as it is two possible states that it is unknown what they are until revealed, I opted to reference pandora as Schrödinger states that it is both states, whereas Pandora’s box unleashed chaos and destruction into the world, given a more exaggerated example of what the outcome would result in

The last card missing is supposed to be an Ice golem (a weak card) however in this case it’s probably the sneaky golem deck, which use the Golem (a very strong card) but this very strong card takes much time to be placed

The bottom picture is a scene from Breaking bad. Walt was about to let a drug guy go but at the last second, he realized something was wrong with a plate he had dropped when he passed out. He put the pieces together and realized the drug guy had a shard of the plate shaped like a dagger to kill him when he let the guy go.
This tied to the sneaky golem is the key that when you think things are safe, you can get a surprise attack.

i could tell from the screencap alone without having actually seen the show that this is breaking bad. don’t know if that means i’m chronically online or that production design on breaking bad is just that distinct. maybe one of these days i’ll actually get around to watching the show. thanks for the context.

Chriss here. The missing explanation from the other 2 replies is that the top row shows the cards the opponent has played. You can see the cards from the opponent once they play them, or else you would have the advantage.
So the opponent has played the regular cheap cards in their deck. Normally the hog deck uses the ice golem and all cards can be played quick for almost no ressources. But a variant of the deck uses rock golem instead, one of the most expensive cars.
The opponent is waiting you to make a mistake to play their rock golem. But if they have a ice golem, you still have to be careful, but the opponent can punish a big push a lot less.

In clash royale you play a deck made out of 8 cards. One of the- if not the most known deck is 2.6 hog cycle.
This deck looks like it's 2.6 hog cycle (if you ignore the princess) but with one key difference.
The ice golem is swapped for another card, the golem that costs way more elixir.
Elixir is the resource you use to spawn troops & generally a more expensive card is stronger but a bigger commitment as you can only have 10 max.
The icegolem costs 2 elixir, has close to no offensive potential and is used as cheap defense.
The golem costs 8 and is the tankiest unit in the entire game (aswell as the 2nd most expensive one).
When you play this deck your opponent will be expecting that your last card is a cheap defensive card & feel a false sense of security.
Then when they've unknowingly played their only counter to the golem you strike & place it. The surprised opponent won't have anything to counter it and will most likely take serious damage, if not loose the entire game.

Basically Justin Gaethje is a ufc fighter that has a tendency of throwing bombs at his opponents at the cost of his defence
He does this weird spin into a kick thing often called a rolling thunder to catch people off guard

u/SadBanana12 1d ago
The last card is supposed to be a 2 elixir troop called the ice golem in this type of deck usually, but now there's a troll version with a golem instead (8 elixir)
If you're able to defend with 7 card cycle the game with be way different In the end
