How to win with Log Bait against Graveyard

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 a small spell ready near your tower, and place it in the middle of the skeletons to clear them fast.

Graveyard costs five elixir, so pressure the opposite lane the moment it is played.

Do not spend your splash card elsewhere when they have the elixir for Graveyard.
