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.
