PLAYING RUNE GIANT for the 1ST TIME! - Clash Royale

[@SirTagCR]

Will Rune Giant ruin the meta? Here's a buffed deck for the new meta that doesn't run rune giant: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJKZfGx9oqmJn9Usi=2Yeme8PIcFXxHTZ3

[@jeremydean7084]

Can't stress how much I enjoy your videos and appreciate your advice and the fact you explain so much as you play to show your thoughts live as they play out, I have played so much better since listening and watching your videos. I love this game as well and don't like yo lose, knowing it's just a game, yet it pushes me to become better at the game. And on top of that, I keep a better attitude when I do lose, and try to learn from it. Thank you so much for doing what you do!!

[@lae-j9k]

same here deck is not that op in my opinion, I am an okay player and play a lot. However I lost 80% of the games and I am sure that I do not play it completely wrong I watched the whole strema and played a lot before jumping into ladder. I feel like already everyone built a deck to beat it. I mean it's also good

[@thelegendarylawyer2562]

@lae-j9k practice in classic arena you won't have to worry about levels and you can actually learn the interactions

[@zacharydegraeve5264]

I think rune giant behind the gob giant makes the most sense and I’ll explain my reasoning. You treat it like a support card that buffs the gob giant for its entire lifespan. Then it tanks for and rune upgrades the spear goblins and any support cards you play behind the push and it is already on tower due to the gob giant. I’ll add that I believe you did it accidentally but if you watch it back I think you’ll find that two of your most destructive pushes were gob giant in front. (The one that crushed the log bait deck and the one that took tower in the balloon freeze match that you lost)

[@JoeBlow_4]

Played 23 games with it against mid-ladder menaces and had 5 wins and 18 losses. Just kept getting beat and i play a lot of decks..

[@SirTagCR]

100% it's really hard to make work with dart goblin/ firecracker bait versions. Play the goblin giant one I played at the end and copy what I did in the last 5 games in a row. If you play THAT version of the deck (not the others) you'll win most of your games. Suboptimal midladder decks get 3 crowned by it (the ppl I played at start got wrecked instantly) and the better rank 2000 in world ultimate champ players I played in my last 5 games lost too

[@ChaYang-y3z]

Its very niche. It sounds good, but the unit itself is just so ass. A waste of 4 elixer right when you drop it. if they are playing beatdown then you cannot do a counterpush because it has ass stats and ur units who synergize with it get farmed by small spells. If its log bait, its kinda useless to do more dmg on the third hit when everything in log bait is supposed to die in 1-2 hits or log or small spells. So its counter inuitive. Against other control decks its okay, but your units on drop have no impact since control decks are more defensively oriented so your units wont get more than a hit due to poison, log, tornado, etc. Its nice to have a tank support unit but the body is really bad and if it procs on 2nd hit, it'd be better

[@osborneconnor]

Juicy Js troll deck was an immediate hit for me. Win roughly 7/10

[@blowoutbrad8115]

i’m thinking potential card combos. Rune Giant with the following. Magic archer or little prince for good dps! and i do wonder if xbow or cannon cart could scale well

[@dcwbob8163]

Sadly doesn’t work on buildings

[@beastieboy313]

Goblinstien is epic too sirtag! Activating the electricity cause the extra damage almost constantly 😊

[@matteospaine]

Top 6 player literally one second away from winning- but he used the new card in substitute for a elixir golem

[@mib3329]

Mid ladder is full of lumber loon or mega night + pekka decks or elite Barbarians , how do we escape mid ladder it’s so toxic

[@SirTagCR]

I did in this video with the rune giant goblin giant deck. Hunter deletes balloon and mega knight easily and guards fisherman counter pekka I showed how to climb up and 3 crowned all the midladder ppl while going up ranks with it (and won 5 in a row vs ult champ ppl for final games of this vod). Option 2 is playing a more skillful mortar deck that'll always work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGW9mnekhM2jgtEsi=my8mxdSW8Ao-1q4e (if you don't have gob stein can replace with rascals or skele king / can replace miner with skele barrel / can replace fireball with skele dragons.

[@mib3329]

@ perfect thank you so much!

[@bbbyzde4d947]

Hey man happy birthday !! 🎉 I just wanted to say real quick that i always know I can rely on a Tag video when I’m feeling down. And also I want you to know that you are very appreciated in your community and to keep doing what you’re doing man ! I hope your day is full of love and joy ! Peace ✌️ and love ❤.

[@SirTagCR]

Appreciate the love ❤

[@nickwaters8113]

Sir Tag, Happy birthday. I enjoy your content so much I watch your past lives, and I watch your videos while I eat. While at work I am too busy to watch your livestreams, but I like to listen. I really enjoy your personality. You've taught me a lot and I thank you.

[@pythonzzzzz]

great comment

[@SirTagCR]

Thank you for the kind words - appreciate the support!

[@CharlesEdelstein]

27:11 gob stein lightning did boosted damage on every tick of the lightning for my first two games, then went to normal every 3 iterations of damage

[@alexrobinson3960]

Gob Giant FIRST, then Rune Giant. When the GG dies (after being boosted the whole time) then you have the RG supported by the spawned Spear Goblins which are also boosted. You basically get two boosted GGs, compared to one half boosted GG when the RG is first. 🤓

[@bbbyzde4d947]

9:10 “If he arrows this im going to crash out… *Milliseconds later* *gets arrowed* okay I’m gonna crash out 😊 “ 😂 love you Tag !

[@davidyoak131]

Idc what anyone says you can run a deck and the game will match you up against people running cards that counter yours and if you switch so will your opponents

[@SawyerJensen69]

Yeah Fr I completely relate to that!!!

[@pizzaforever69]

fr, l got my as whooped by evo pekka deck and l was using royale chef. l was just getting opponents using tanky decks like meganut + tanks. When l switched to cannoneer, omg, l just played 4 matches and all of them were swarm decks, including 3 log bait decks.

[@joshymcdaniel9233]

Sir, 1 million % FACTS! Noticed this 2 months ago started testing theory. Just 1 card being swapped changes your matches it absolutely matches u with counters!

[@mmhyesboykissies]

they say there is no matchmaking like this but I swear to fucking god... you can play a deck that hardcounters another deck and you never face it but as soon as you switch decks you magically do..

[@JuliusNovak_]

Love the videos Tag hope you have a great day

[@bbbyzde4d947]

Hey Tag maybe you should try incorporating the little prince in this deck to his fast attack rate I think it would be a great turnout !

[@Michael-ql4yc]

This is practically OG conference call bee shield from borderlands 2. Crazy OP

[@carterwells2144]

Gotta love the nuking of uncounted projectiles😂

[@bhaktsharad]

Jake try that rg deck that looks quite broken , i watched it in eragons video it was destroying everything!

[@Moonlitskies101]

What do you think of this deck? Evo Pekka, E wiz, bandit, evo battle ram, bar barrel, fire cracker, poison, and zap I used to play skeleton dragons instead of firecracker but I guess firecracker gives more value. Last season I did manage to push to ultimate champion with 1649 trophies. (Btw I used to play the game before the champions release and quit when they got released at 6300 trophies, and got back to it a couple months ago and reached this far) Happy birthday 🎉 Wish u the best.

[@sebcamacho1064]

I think it would be good to watch you play on stream going try hard like not speaking during games and fully focusing for the full stream to try reach top 800… love the videos!!

[@Frost.7xx]

Try out 2.6 but with rune giant instead of ice golem. They’re both able to kite, but for 2 more elixir it buffs your musky and hog 🤷‍♂️ (Might not work cause the cycles slower.. but.. y’know… what if 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️)

[@robertjackson2142]

Mighty miner, inferno dragon, freeze, rage, dart goblin, goblin curse, ruin giant and goblin giant

[@anzai5552]

By the way, it's kind of weird seeing so many negative comments on all your livestreams because you are one of the most positive creators in the CR community

[@JakinEpp]

I don’t have fisherman, what would you advise using in its place in this deck?

[@Doctrine-j1t]

I jolt every time you scream into the mic when I’m listening casually cause you’re so calm for most of it lol

[@SirTagCR]

😂 too true

[@Kaspar4225]

What are your thoughts on evolved dart goblin instead of archers?

[@jarpper]

three streams in the last 2 days sirgrind

[@chillypiplup2347]

The deck I’ve been testing is Skeletons Evolution Mortar Poison Miner Bats Hunter Rune giant

[@soniabegum9135]

SirTag,I love your videos.

[@oviovi4255]

Lava deck is ok , I've saw Dominik playing in the final and he got a contra deck with goblin and log bait and he somehow he manage to win it...

[@Seth_hahaha]

u look like loki 💚

[@SirTagCR]

Lol 😂

[@alanmunro3490]

Thanks for this livestream Sir and enjoy your birthday celebrations.

[@bloodwalker9648]

So the new balance changes aren't out yet? Just Rune Giant & Evo Dart goblin????

[@jinlu7927]

“Best rune giant deck with 99% win rate!” I’d coming up

[@SirTagCR]

I played with it 10 games for a video... and won them all after this live stream

[@blakkoutt3201]

What about rune giant evo musky that 3rd shot might 1 shot tanks

[@lanceisanewby]

Happy Birthday Tag 🎂

[@SirTagCR]

thank you

[@barbarajeanpertile4572]

It's almost birthday time!! Hope you stream on your birthday tomorrow!!!! Love you!! XOXOXXOXO

[@mib3329]

How to escape mid ladder any good decks?

[@SirTagCR]

I did live with the rune giant goblin giant deck - it's in this video

[@1BeardedGuy]

I’m trying giant double prince with rune giant, evo firecracker, evo ice spirit, arrows, log. I want to switch ice spirit for evo dart goblin but I don’t have it yet

[@codemaninflatabledisplays2116]

33:47 he was using freeze it was deserved

[@michellechen4101]

I tried it last night and forgot royal chef was selected. It was so toxic I haven’t used it since.

[@jenzo97]

What about Rune Giant and Golden knight. High attack speed and dash ability could be good

[@SirTagCR]

No golden knight is unfortunately the worst champion in the game BY A LOT

[@jenzo97]

@ that’s really unfortunate. Could be such a good card. Thanks for the response you are the best!!!

[@robertjackson2142]

Also found a bug in the game where Valkyrie can walk across the river is there a way I can get u the vid

[@HardyVille]

what happen to the birthday stream tag? i was a few minutes behind and it deleted

[@kipling9977]

I don't understand 1 thing where does mid-ladder start and where does it end and does it mean on trophy road or ranked ??

[@willow2069]

mid ladder ends when ur cards get to 14/15. when ur cards are under leveled youll be stuck mid ladder, usually around 6000 trophies where the game is pay2win

[@SirTagCR]

Everyone has different definitions but for most people it's anything before ultimate champion; midladder is where you play against weird mega knight wizard decks with 3+ spells

[@willow2069]

cards like mega knight, gob barrel and witch are examples of mid ladder cards, cards that are op when overleveled

[@kipling9977]

Ah okay thanks guys

[@Vuldriel]

Does the firecracker do 800 damage at 1 hour into the video??

[@IckyStickyRicky123]

dang dude do you have a shiner?

[@MonkeyDStone-hg8cl]

This pay to win game just needs to die already.😅

[@anzai5552]

Happy birthday yo

[@brycehuff]

Rune giant with 3 musketeer?

[@bloodwalker9648]

I HATE HOG RIDER with a passion & still @ClashRoyale doesnt Nerf instead makes 4 Evos for 2.0 decks

[@uliveindarkness]

Happy birthday

[@joshymcdaniel9233]

Me when trying to run this… I Drag…. MK…Oh fun look inferno tower…. And I loose 🫨

[@BrettMartin-hs9tv]

Rune doesn’t work on buildings bro so no xbow

[@BrettMartin-hs9tv]

Holy cow it got melted by I tower was that faster than normal lol

[@darkkebab7785]

royal recruits really find it's way in any deck huh?😂😂

[@SirTagCR]

nah didn't work too well in this one; gob giant one is 10x better

[@Almighty_S]

Sighh so this with e golem night witch is gonna be broken

[@Frost.7xx]

2:37 the fact that this absolute clown can play like this, And beat a player of your calibre…. Proves how broken this game has become 😂😂 Unbelievable 😅 I miss the old days, where you can actually punish bad players for making stupid plays

[@yaboi1981]

Probably the worst card in the game ngl 😅

[@This-w7o]

This game has become a joke, it's just a bunch of changes to cards and new tower buildings to cater to all the mid ladder players who put random cards together like mega night, valkc e glom, you literally played against one every game or peka with a bunch of random cards, there is no more skill decks , Little kid spam bridge with peka game

[@lae-j9k]

I correct thus deck is awful and sucks. thanks

[@PUBG_Daylight]

Rune giant is so broken

[@ChaYang-y3z]

Nope lol. Its actually kinda bad. The support dmg is good but the body is horrible. The unit provides nothing. It needs units to play with it to synergize so if your other units get killed, the body is useless. You cant say the same for other tank units. Tank units like pekka, electro giant, etc, needs to be prioritized to be killed. With rune giant, u just log the firecracker, and focus all on the dmg troops and ignore the giant entirely. Shes just not good

[@PUBG_Daylight]

@ChaYang-y3z My fault. I tried to mean it's broken in some cases.

[@SirTagCR]

@@ChaYang-y3z She's not broken but she makes this hunter/ goblin giant deck broken. Not reliably good with cards like firecracker or dart goblin cause they die too quickly to spells and then you're left with rune giant alone...

[@Tazerect]

Happy birthday
