Several popular deck archetypes dominate the meta. Beatdown decks focus on building a massive push with a heavy tank (e.g., Golem, Lava Hound) and supporting troops. Siege decks aim to destroy towers from a distance with X-Bow or Mortar. Cycle decks rapidly cycle through cheap cards to repeatedly deploy a win condition like Hog Rider or Miner. Control decks focus on defending efficiently and then launching small, effective counter-pushes. Each archetype has its own playstyle and counters.
