VULKan used this deck in CRL North America and he performed extremely well! This deck works great at countering the annoying Royal Giant which people are encountering a lot more since the buff. The pekka is great at shuting down tanks such as golem, giant or Royal giant. The executioner Tornado also synergies very well and is great at stopping and supporting units your opponent has. When playing offensively with the Tornado you should ideally have a unit to tank tower damage allowing the skeletons to build up. This is usually the pekka, mega minion or even the ice spirit can work. The cycle cards offer a lot of value because they don’t just allow you to quickly cycle to the card you need they can also counter units that cost 2-3 elixir more offering you a lot of value. Your only spell you can use offensively is your poison, if your up against three musketeers then use Tornado to pull them into one lane then use posion, on the tower and 3M for a 2 elixir positive trade while also getting tower damage. When the opponent uses a pump behind their tower you can use the graveyard to chip away at the pump. If the opponent has a pekka then try to battle on your side so the towers can help defend unless they’re also running graveyard then you’ll want to stop her at the bridge so she can’t tank tower damage.
Graveyard is your main win condition, the hard counters are Valkyrie and poison spell. If the opponent has these then try to bait them out. If they have other cards that counter the graveyard such at princess, archer or bats then the posion or Tornado works great at either killing them or taking their HP low enough for the Larrys to finish them off. Check out the video to see the most optimal placement for the graveyard.
Mega minion and executioner are you main air counters and the opponent using an air deck will soon learn this so try to keep at least of of these once cycle at a time. This guy can’t also be used to tank damage for the graveyard is required and will also get one hit on their tower if left unchecked.
This fierce warrior is great at defending then going on a counter push with, she is your best option to use as a tank but she is also easily distracted and kited away.
Early game the best thing to do is to play safe, you can do this by using the cycle cards or just waiting for your opponent to make the first move. I would also try to activate your king tower especially against bait, hog or other graveyard decks, this will help you defend throughout the rest of the match and allow you to spend more elixir on offence. Try to find out what counters your opponent has and then try to keep track of them in their cycle and bait them out if necessary.
Later game VULKan says to defend then counter push unless you know you have an elixir lead. Try to support the pekka as much as possible because if you get her to their tower she is going to get a lot of damage. You should now know what your opponent is running so you know if you can use the poison to support the graveyard or if you need to save it for defence. Use the cycle cards to support units and help defend too. Goodluck running this deck everyone!
