BTW if you lose and think it was unfair, watch your replay. Until you understand what you did wrong or where you were not effective. It is a HUGE learning tool.

Clash Royale |OT| Should I keep playing when Im full on chests?

I mean mass building decks...fireball is worth it against 2-3 buildings.
For regular building defense, my main issue is that buildings are use proactively and can aggro both lanes at once, and they cannot be taken out cost effectively. There's no other lane to push when buildings defend both lanes.
Pre-nerf I thought the Tesla was a really solid answer to hut decks. Cheaper than either hut and completely prevents them from doing damage to your tower except for maybe one final goblin unless they drop something else in the lane. I'm trying out the Inferno Tower now instead but obviously it's not as good against spawners. Rocket becomes an efficient counter if they have two huts simultaneously and is especially useful towards the end when they have the mana to drop three huts at once. I really like Witch for pushing against the constant flow of units.
Bomb tower dominates hut decks. So much HP, lasts a minute, does aoe damage with the bombs.
Yeah, I was thinking of using this one but I really like a tower that also helps take out big single targets, and obviously it hurts that it can't deal with air units. Tesla was really good for everything but the Bomb Tower is only about half as good against big ground targets, and I feel like I have enough aoe already with Witch and Ice Wizard. Still it's worth considering.
I switched out my Tesla for Poison. It's actually working better than I expected, and it can be used offensively and defensively. Right now my deck is a last minute guns blazing deck. I posted this the other day as a fun/mess around deck, but it has actually carried me to 1900. If you can get 2-3 Ice Wizards down with Mirror, it becomes an absolute nightmare for someone to defend against with PEKKA/Hog Rider bearing down. Honestly, my only worst nightmare with this deck is an Inferno Tower which decimates PEKKA. I have a feeling I'll be running into them more with the changes.
Current deck:
Elixir Collector
Skeleton Army
Poison
Mirror
Ice Wizard
Baby Dragon
Hog Rider
PEKKA
My biggest challenge is I am hitting a bit of a wall at 1900 because I keep going against level 8 people (i'm level 7, almost level 8). I'm going to play around with some of the newly buffed cards to see if I can make some productive changes.

I personally wouldn't use it because I think it slows down my deck too much. I don't use any defensive structures. As you said though, the tesla was too good against everything which is why it had to be nerfed.
I've been wanting to use Valk since the game launched. She was the first rare I got to level 5. Finally, she's viable...but still leaves something to be desired. Dark Prince seems to have made her somewhat obsolete. I wish she had a stun. It seems silly that she still can't effectively take out a group of barbs...what's the point of using her then?

Having skeleton army and barbarians is redundant: both do the same thing, and the barbarians can't be one-shotted with arrows and can set you up for a counter rush.
Swap your skeleton army out for a card that grants a win condition: a hog rider, a balloon, a prince. Then build your deck around it.
Also, you might want something heavy that can hit air units, so while you might not have baby dragon yet, consider musketeer or archers.
I use rocket, great to finish off towers and take out annoying goblin huts and most of barbarian huts. Don't really like the barbarian hut personally.
I like Rocket. Not sure if this is a good tactic, but I've been getting into the habit of sitting back and waiting to see the opponent drops a dangerous card behind their tower; if it's something like a witch, or barbarians, I'll time a Rocket to take it out and do tower damage at the same time. It's also a good counter to building heavy decks, and when you can use it to annihilate a big push, it's incredibly cost-effective.
Rocket is cool but the issue I have with it is that it's expensive and slow to launch too. Feels like a lot of the time by the time it's gone off the crowd has dispersed for one reason or another (not applicable to buildings obv.). I kind of like Fireball as a middle ground. When I look at the top decks though it's mostly just arrows, a handful of fireablls, and really no rockets. fwiw obv the meta at your level will affect that (for example every single person I play seems to implement minion horde and other swarm tactics so I actually have both fireball and arrows right now just b/c it's so annoying ).
).Finally found the Baby Dragon which got swapped in for my Bomb Tower. Rose 150 points rigth after.
Playing now with...
Barbs
Minions
Spear Cobolds
Giant
Baby Dragon
Skelet Horde
Prince
Balloon
The one card now that's left up to Arena 4 that I wanna desperately try out myself is The Witch.

I don't know how you can roll without musketeer. Too much utility and power

I think a good system is when officers track players with 0 donations for up to a week and monitor their score. If both don't fluctuate within the week, it's good reasons to conclude the player is inactive so that a space may be freed up for others who want to join.

Barb Hut is a semi "build around" card. If youre using it, you should use hut/tower deck. Barb Hut is really good ay pressuring a lane. Enemies cant ignore it. Goblin Huts can do a chip damage, Tomb Stone doesnt chip, but Barb Hut can go all the way.
Rocket is situational in many decks, but aiming it can be difficult.
Yeah, that strategy starts falling off later due to towers and things like Lightning.

I just got to arena 4 and after 1 or 2 wins was matched as a level 5 to two level 7's. I managed to get a draw in both games but it was a bit of struggle to stifle their attack and do enough damage to their towers.

I've not joined a clan yet so if there are any spots open in the clans I'm game for joining one.
How did some of you get to Arena 3+ so quick? I'm stuck at a wall in Arena 2 due to facing people with skeletons armies and witches which I've yet to unlock.

Still my vote for best all around unit, the Baby Dragon. I wish I could level mine up. He's just too low to use at my level anymore.
I checked donations on my clan this morning. Only 4 people haven't donated at all so far this week.
We may not have many spots to open on Sunday.

Last night and today has been rough. Mostly loss after loss.
Hit arena 6 last night. I'm going off a small sample size, but I've wrecked the lvl 8s I've seen, whereas I've had difficulty against my fellow lvl 6s. I remember having that same dynamic as a lvl 5 in arena 4, where for some reason lvl 7s were easier trophies than people closer to my level.
There's a good chance I won't be here all that long, so I'm hoping to get very lucky with the arena 6 chests I have sitting around.

That was my top unit for a while. Bring him in as support for Hog Rider or just to sit back and snipe people. Versatile and strong. Witch is my #1 currently according to the game, which is weird b/c I don't totally love her but if I'm slow playing I'll bust her out so she can get some skeletons to take the hit from charging Knights and the like while I build up a counterattack.
I just got it yesterday.
It's simple but you can only play for a few min then you gotta wait hours to unlock anything.
Just a heads up

1. Save your gems and gold up for chests and epic cards that you don't have.
2. Have a deck with, at most, 4.2 elixir cost (this is more of my own opinion, having too many high elixir cards can cause large gap when your trying to counter opponent's moves)
3. Watch TV Royale, you'll learn some good strategies from those videos.

At least six people in the theater before BVS playing this tonight.
I wound up dropping $20 into this a couple days ago, and I think it's the perfect amount for me. I still rely largely on the chest cooldowns since I only want to play a couple rounds a couple times a day anyway, and I just use gems to open up a chest if I want to play a round when I already have four. At the rate it's been going, this'll last me for as long as the game holds my attention.

We really need to start purging and "uniting the clans" - Braveheart style.
Most annoying thing about this is that it also hurts flying creatures and does no damage to their units.

Matchmaking, Higher level, more cards available.
Okay, if I missed cards in the training camp can I go back and get chests there or am I stuck in my current arena?
You get the cards from future chests. For example, if you win in arena 2 you get an arena 2 chest which can contain cards from arena 2 and any arenas below it. The higher the arena the more cards and gold in the chest so you want to progress as high as you can.
