Graveyard coach

Graveyard drops skeletons right on the tower. With a tank in front and a spell behind, it's hard to stop cleanly.

Updated 14 October 2026

Graveyard decks cast Graveyard on the opponent's tower, usually behind a tank that soaks fire, and follow up with a spell for the defenders that come to clear it.

Against it, the answer is a spell or splash troop ready when the skeletons land, plus pressure on the other lane.

What usually goes wrong

Graveyard aloneWith no tank, the tower and a single splash card clear it easily.
No spell for their answerIf their splash troop survives, the Graveyard does nothing.

Playing against Graveyard

Save a spell or splash defender for when Graveyard lands.

Make them spend the answer, then play the card it was meant for. Skill Defence coach Good defence isn't stopping everything. It's stopping it cheaply, in the right place, at the right moment. Deck LavaLoon coach LavaLoon is an air push: Lava Hound tanks, Balloon hits the tower. It tests every deck's air defence.
