The concept is devilishly simple: fill your deck with multiple fragile, high-damage swarm units that all share the exact same weakness.

However, because they only have one Log in their deck, you can manipulate them into using it on the wrong target, leaving them defenseless against your true attack.

Forcing the Error

You play a Princess at the bridge; if they ignore her, she will slowly chip away their tower from a safe distance.

Because their Log is now out of rotation, the Goblin Barrel lands directly on their tower and deals massive damage before they can cycle back to another counter.

• It is a waste of 3 elixir and gives them a massive advantage.
• Use the Princess defensively first.
• Protect your bait until it works.

The ‘Tricky Barrel’ and Advanced Mind Games

When this happens, you must employ the ‘Tricky Barrel’—intentionally placing the Barrel a few tiles deep behind the enemy tower rather than directly on top of it.

You must condition the opponent; throw three standard centered Barrels early in the game to establish a pattern, then use the Tricky Barrel in overtime to secure the win.

The Frustration Factor

When executed perfectly, the opponent will feel like they never have the right cards in their hand at the right time.

The bait is set; wait for them to bite.
