How to Play & Match Strategy
Step-by-step game plan to secure victory in the arena
Patience & Elixir Scouting
Start conservatively by cycling Skeletons or Bats behind the King Tower to scout the opponent's deck. Never drop a naked Graveyard at the bridge without counter-push momentum or a confirmed elixir lead. Rely on Knight and a centered Cannon plant to shut down early aggression for positive trades.
Evolution Pressure & Pushes
Once your defending Knight crosses the river, drop Graveyard on the tower and blanket defending swarms with Poison. Deploy Evo Bats to shred beefy tanks while your Hero Ice Wizard slows the push down to a crawl. Exploit the 3-card cycle while the Hero Ice Wizard is active to rapidly recover your Evo Cannon and cheap spells.
Poison Cycle & Overtime
In triple elixir, lock down your side with central Evo Cannons while applying constant dual-lane chip with Bats. Stack Poison on top of every Graveyard push to guarantee tower decay while Barbarian Barrel handles bridge defense. If the opponent turtles with splash defenses, transition directly into Poison cycle to finish the match.
Pull enemy win conditions like Hog Rider or Giant into the middle kill-zone using Skeletons alongside a 3-4 plant Cannon so both towers fire. Position your Ice Wizard wide with anti-spell spacing to prevent opponents from collecting heavy Fireball or Lightning value. Clean up residual bridge support using a rolling Barbarian Barrel and clean up air threats with Bats.
Against Mother Witch, never drop Graveyard or Bats until she crosses the river or is eliminated; delete her using Poison paired with Barbarian Barrel chip. Facing Lava Hound, your Cannon cannot hit air, so push Knight opposite-lane to split their elixir while Ice Wizard and high Bats pick off the hound and incoming Balloon.
Knight and Graveyard form the classic tank-and-strike core, absorbing tower hits while spawned skeletons rack up massive tower damage. Defensively, Hero Ice Wizard and Evo Cannon create a formidable blockade, severely slowing advancing tanks while Cannon outputs rapid single-target DPS.
❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Evo Cannon Graveyard Control
How do you open a match with this 2.9 Graveyard deck?
Cycle Skeletons behind the King Tower or roll a Barbarian Barrel to test your opponent's opening response. Never initiate an offensive Graveyard until you have scouted their spell counters and established an elixir lead.
How do you defend against Lava Hound and Mother Witch?
Poison the Mother Witch along with the crown tower immediately to stop her from converting your Skeletons into cursed hogs. Against Lava Hound, deploy Knight on the opposite lane to force defense, then anchor your Ice Wizard deep with Evo Bats picking apart the air push.
What is the best way to utilize the Hero Ice Wizard in this deck?
Keep the Hero Ice Wizard protected in the backline to slow incoming pushes and maintain a rapid 3-card cycle on the board. This allows you to cycle back to Evo Cannon and cheap distraction cards twice as fast.
