Log Bait coach

Log Bait is a spell-counting game. Make them spend the answer, then play the card it was meant for.

Updated 14 October 2026

Log Bait decks carry several cards that the same cheap spell answers, usually around Goblin Barrel with Princess, Goblin Gang or similar. The opponent can't answer them all, so once their spell is spent, the next bait card lands.

Playing against it is the mirror: save your small spell for the card that hurts most, and answer the rest with troops.

What usually goes wrong

Barrel into a ready LogIf their small spell is in hand, the Barrel is just giving them a positive trade.
Bait cards with no follow-upBaiting the spell only matters if you play the card it was saving for.
Forgetting defenceBait decks still need to stop a tank. Don't spend everything on offence.

Questions

How do I stop wasting my Log against Log Bait?

Hold it for Goblin Barrel or their main threat, and answer the other cards with troops. Mercina flags spells cast on low-value targets so you can see the pattern.
