Deck:HogValkWitch Power

Strategy

 * Naturally, the Hog Rider+Valkyrie+Witch push is very powerful.
 * If you have somehow forced out your opponent's spell, use place down a Valkyrie or Hog Rider at the bridge, then send out your Goblin Barrel. The Crown Tower will lock on the Valkyrie, which has decently high health, and your Goblins will be able to deal a lot of damage.

Replacements
Sometimes you don't have a certain card or you want to use a different one. Here are some suggestions.

Valkyrie

 * No card really can do what the Valkyrie does, as this is in the main part of the deck.

Hog Rider

 * No card really can do what the Hog Rider does, as this is in the main part of the deck.

Witch

 * No card really can do what the Witch does, as this is in the main part of the deck.

Musketeer

 * No card really can do what the Musketeer does; she's in a class by herself.

Minions

 * Baby Dragon works pretty much the same as Minions.
 * Bats can do what Minions do, though a Zap can easily take them out.

Arrows

 * Zap works, though it is not as effective against Goblin Barrel.
 * Fireball can get the job done, though often using it the way one would use Arrows does not result in a positive Elixir tradeoff. For example, it is a negative elixir tradeoff to use Fireball against Goblin Barrel.

Skeleton Army

 * Goblin Gang is another decent swarm troop.
 * Tombstone is viable alternative for the Skeleton Army. It is a great counter to many single-targeting troops, and it can distract a Hog Rider. However, it can't do anything against a Goblin Barrel.
 * Skeletons can provide some quick damage, and they are a great cycling card.

Goblin Barrel

 * In higher Arenas, Graveyard can work, though Poison is a great counter to it, and this deck is not recommended in such high arenas.
