Hello everyone! It Azuraith here from Relentless™. I have been a zap bait player since May 2016. Miner was my first legendary and I havn't looked back. After seeing the new balance changes i was quite happy because of the zap nerf. It straight up makes my deck better in every way.

But then i was thinking about making a new deck, one that beats all other zap bait decks that are going to be popping up all over the place. Lately i've been playing control decks with bowler and loving it. So i decided to combine both of them since goblin barrel is so strong now. This new deck i made can deal with ebarb decks, giant decks, zap bait decks, hog. pretty much its only weakness is lavahound, but it has the necessary tools to even deal with that.

Here is the deck:

• Goblin Barrel
• Mirror
• Bowler
• Electro Wizard
• Fire Spirits
• Tombstone
• The Log
• Minions

NOTE: This deck works best in challenges/tournaments. If you want to use this on ladder you will need mirror level 5, goblin barrel lvl 5-6, bowler lvl 5, minions 11, ewiz 2, fire spirits 11, the log 2, tombstone 8-9.

The deck is pretty good, it is quite simple. Goblin barrel is your main tool for damage. If you throw a goblin barrel right as the bowler is crossing the bridge, he will tank for the goblin barrel, and even if they zap with the new zap nerf they will still go to town on the tower.

Bowler, the primary defensive troop in the deck. It also serves as the tank on a counter push. Place it in the lane that has spawners to get rid of furnaces and huts. Then you can push the other lane with goblin barrel, ewiz, minions etc.

Electro wizard is another great card in this deck. It serves as a multi purpose tool that can defend many pushes, be used as a zap spell or do some serious damage to towers. Since the Ewizard health got a buff its a much safer choice for this deck because it can't be fireball killed.

Tombstone is the primary defensive card in this deck. It can pull ebarbs, and if they zap after the tombstone breaks, just put down minions to clean up. It can pull giants and leave the support troops open for your bowler/ electrowizard/ firespirits/minions to take care of.

Fire Spirits. In my opinion this is a HIGHLY under rated card. The reason it is in this deck is to counter other spell bait decks. With fire spirits you dont need to use spells to take care of goblin barrels, minions, minion hordes, balloons. etc. Use fire spirits to defend pushes like barbarians, minions hordes or to support a game ending push.

The Log. Currently the best spell in the game after the zap nerf. Use it for goblin barrels, pushing back large pushes together with your bowler. etc etc. You all should know how to use the log because its amazing. If you dont have it... buy it asap.

Minions: With the megaminion nerf minions have been seeing a lot more play. Also they serve as arrow bait to leave their tower open for goblin barrel. They can take out balloons, lavahounds etc. Very good defensive/offensive support troop.

Mirror: Now this card IS NOT ONLY FOR GOBLIN BARREL. The mirror in this deck is AMAZING. You can even mirror the bowler for super strong defensive plays. Mirror the EWiz for double zap, mirror goblin barrel for strong damage. Mirror minions if they arrow them and you are up against lavahound/balloon. You will need minions to deal with those decks, so saving mirror for ewiz or minions is good. I have even used mirror on tombstone to pull tanks to the other lane near the end of the game when i cant afford damage on my towers.

Please post your questions and comments below.

NOTE: personal best is around 4500 trophies, just in case you were wondering about my credibility.
