How to win with Log Bait against Goblin Drill

General strategy for these deck types, written by hand. The win rates on this page are measured; this advice isn’t.

Make the opponent spend small spells on your swarm cards, then land Goblin Barrel once their answer is gone, and finish with Rocket in double elixir.

Keep a splash troop or small spell near your tower for the goblins it spawns.

Counter-push when the drill is out, because cheap Drill decks have little defense on the other lane.

How to win with Goblin Drill against Log Bait

Tunnel Goblin Drill straight to the tower, cycling quickly with cheap spells so the next one comes before they recover.

Count their Goblin Barrels and save your small spell for Barrel, using troops to handle the other swarms.

Pressure them so they cannot build a bait cycle, since most bait decks defend big tanks only with Inferno Tower or a cheap building.
