Buff Miner.

I'm not even a Clash Royale player, some how Gratz just hook me into all of his videos.

I love that Wallbreakers work well with Miner. In CoC, that combo is obviously counterproductive.

Goblin barrel: spawns 3 troops that can be placed anywhere in the arena => spell Miner: spawns a troop that can be placed anywhere in the area and has reduced tower damage just like spells => troop At first this confused me but from a technical standpoint this makes sense. The goblin barrel can be placed right on top of a tower. That’s the concept of the card. While the miner can only be placed at the side of one. If they would turn the barrel into a troop it couldn’t be placed directly on towers anymore.

miner is definitely the best card supercell has designed ever imo. also the fact that basically no one has complained about miner despite it being one of the most popular cards for a long time just goes to show how non frustrating he is

Maybe the strange early buffs were just to make the card a little bit better as a temporary measure while people were still leveling it up. It was hella difficult back then and it took a long time.

Miner is designed so well, you can slap it in most decks, and won't be that crappy, unlike for example executioner who needs tornado to be good

I would like a video on the log. It's in the same position as the miner, where it's high usage rate doesn't bother the community, but much more amplified. As such its use rate has been near 50% in top ladder decks and often 100% in top 10 decks.. Yet nobody asked its nerf.

This is like a natural evolution to the Gratz video style; instead of focusing on the balance changes of the unit, Miner's unique history of balance carves a narrative of how he's changed the meta, instead of how the meta has changed him. Absolutely one of your best, Gratz

I always love Miner. It's basically Knight but more versatility.

This aged well 💀

You should do X-bow next which is arguably one of the most polarizing cards ever. Would be extremely cool.

Fun fact: Crusher 21 loves miners

That final comment about reacting to miner palcements is intersting to me as a fighting game player, where to me having some forms of mind games and unseeable mixups that you have tot ry to read your opponents patterns and habits to guess where its going, is really cool and interesting, delaying miner spawn time would take away from that imo.

All your videos are clearly thought out really great, and your editing skills are out of this world! You are easily one of the best CR UKpostsrs out there. keep it up!

Truly the legend never dies, the miner crossed all metas since 2016 and even now one of the best win conditions

Miner could get to heal crown towers and still be a top 10 card imo

dude genuinely love these videos, their like documentaries without any of the fluff a lot of the mass produced ones since they got popular on yt

Alternate title: Gratz searching for 100 different clips of the miner hitting the crown tower or pump. Fr though, great video!

8:22 - 9:06 glad you clarified about focusing on "top ladder" -- was curious too. great video, thank you for researching & sharing! :D

This card has for the majority of its lifespan singlehandedly held up high-skill archetypes on its shoulders. It has rightfully earned a permanent place in High Ladder.

I’m glad you mentioned Brad in this video. It would be almost criminal if you didn’t.

love rewatching your vids man, they're so well made

another great vid Gratz. ive been subbed since your first vid and im super hype for you to pass 100k and get your silver play button. you deserve it. you have a fantastic voice and a great format dude. keep up the great work.

Whenever they kill the miner, he'll dig his way out of his own grave.

I just saw a loading tip that said NERF MINER I think they have gone crazy

LETS GOOO THE BOY GOT A SPONSOR. I was so surprised when I first watched you and realized you only had one video. I subscribed immediately and the quality has always been so high. I don’t even play clash Royale much anymore but god I love these videos.

Could you do a video on the electro giant sometime? I’ve seen it brought up a few times before in your videos so i’ve gotten interested in hearing about it

I love miners

x-bow might b a good card to review next, considering its state..

Holy shit!!! Congrats on the raid sponsorship!!! You deserve it, man. Your videos are always hit for me, thank you for your efforts

You got a sponsership!!! You have come along way, good luck man!

I remember when the "Nerf miner" joke was big. I liked to comment "Buff miner" on random CR videos instead because I think miner needs a buff. Then, Supercell nerfed it again.

I dont know how this guy pumps out such high quality videos so quickly

Gratz, you’re videos are insanely well made. How on earth do you not have 100k+ subscribers? Wow.

I love watching your video Gratz, especially this video. I played this game when it was first released till now so it is very nostalgic to watch yout videos. Keep it up!!! (Btw will you make a video about lvl 15? I personally hate the update since it requires tremendous time to grind)

Miner will always have a special place in my heart. It was the first legendary I ever got from a free chest.

So even in the period when goblin drill was op the miner still had at least 11% usage rate ?

I stopped playing clash royale a while back so its interesting to see how the game is today, I deadass didn't know the phoenix mighty miner and the monk were a thing until I watched your videos but even so the miner holds a special place in my heart, it was my first legendary back in 2017, got it out of a silver chest in arena 6, that was before the animation for legendary cards would play, so it just popped out all of a sudden, absolutely wild. I love this card

Great video but part of what makes playing with and against the miner ineresting is guessing where the miner is going to go based on the decks being played and previous positions

you should make a "worst updates" video where you go through balance changes and updates that had no reasoning behind them and were bad

i love you for having that song list in discription

Nothing hits harder than 360p clips with emotional Minecraft OST, keep it up mate

Xbow.I hate it like 2.6 and log bait but it still a iconic deck in cr history,and it will quite interesting to see it history

I honestly think that miner is just so beloved simply due to how fun it is to play with. If you lose to a miner deck, 9/10 you'll never feel like you lost because the opponent had miner.

Yeeeees another vid, I’ve been binging these lately

Your vids always a thrill to look forward to I may have quit the game but I love seeing these vids

I've personally never had any issues with the miner, rarely played it but when playing against I saw it as a non thread card that you could just ignore for the most part.

I'd love to see a documentary about spawners and why they exist since I don't feel like any of them deserve a separate video

I love your videos dude. Its like watching a proper documentry

I love these vids bro I wish there were more I’ve seen all now 😭

Honestly the quality of these videos is through the roof. I would love to see an Xbow video, I used to use it as my main win con up till it got its fire speed reduction and now it's just....a shell of its former self

20:57 *this* A card's strength mostly stems from its versatility and win rate. Versatility is often overlooked as with the most prominent examples being the Miner -- which you've discussed here -- and the Log. The latter is almost was, and still is the most versatile of any card, with recent exceptions being the Phoenix and Monk meta and the Archers meta; it really has come to be an indication that a card is OP, when it nears Log's use rate. That's the reason that it comes to me as a surprise when a lot of casual players and even some pro players think that it's okay the way it is. It's not so versatile because it counters Log Bait, and other swarm bait; it's not because it has a knock-back; it's not because of the damage to towers before the nerf (it's almost as good after the nerf). It's versatile because it's all of those things: it deals 1.5 times the damage of other 2-elixir spells, has 2 times the area of impact, and has a special mechanic that knocks-back any ground troop (and that compensates well beyond the fact that it doesn't hit the few air troops in the game). That makes it strong, or at least usable in most decks (it even appeared in beat-down and bridge-spam some times even though it's not suited for that archetype), and that is the reason that it's so prominent in most cycle and siege decks. #nerfthelog

Gratz I’ve been loving your content and have learned a lot about metas while I took about a year break! Have you thought about making a discord for your community? I’d love to help make one for your community to grow even more than it has in the passed few months!

It’s crazy how many different videos you can overlay octopath music over and still have it feel right

You should do sparky next, she’s my favorite card!

We need more of these videos 💯

i havent been able to sleep lately but these videos help? thank you grantz 😭 i have never played clash royale ever yet im entranced by the content

Thank you gratz for so much nostalgic content

About the often mentioned vanilla state. Getting a 6% buff and later getting a 6% nerf is a nerf, because the later 6% are more than the first. If im wrong please tell me, but that is how i think it works

Hot take: they should give miner an indicator of where he’ll show up. You can tell where a goblin barrel is gonna land by its trajectory, so it’s possible to see a tricky barrel coming. However, miner gives no indication of where he’s gonna pop up, so you pretty much have to hard read where he’ll go to prevent taking damage. Of course, this would be a huge nerf, so it could be counterbalanced by giving him a damage increase or something like that.

Dude, i played this game when it first dropped, hated it, and left, yet somehow, this dudes content is just so good i listen to it while driving or grindig a game or something, he just makes it sound interesting. Keep up the great work man!

Congrats on the sponsor Gratz! I know must of us would roll our eyes at Raid Shadow Legends, but I'm happy you're making money off this youtube thing, you deserve it!

Gratz, I am so glad that your channel has come so far. I started watching at around 5000 subscribers, and I was baffled by the low subscriber count. These videos were so high quality and entertaining. Whenever you clicked, you knew what you were watching and you wanted to keep watching. I’m so glad that you are so close to 100k. This video just came out, so it might be able to push you to the threshold. I really hope that you make it!

I just started watching. I hope B-rad will be mentioned.

Amazing video as always. Love your work

Miner looked everywhere underground but still couldn't find my father.

a history on the electro spirit, the only card with no balance changes, would be kind of funny

Gratz can you please do a video on the Valkyrie, Firecracker and the Princess.I really feel like these cards fall in the same territory of area control and would really love seeing you point out their similarities and how their presence affected each other.This was a really insightful video like always , 🙏. Ps. Nerf Miner.

FINALLY GRATZ UPLOADS AGAIN LET'S GOOOO

Royal Ghost is one of my favorite cards in Clash so I think a video on him would be really cool. Besides that, really great video, I don't even play CR & yet I love your vids & find them super interesting. If that isn't signs of somoene maing great content, then I don't know what is. As for the Miner since the only nerf it seems to get is a reduction in Crown Tower damage, I fear that at one point they'll nerf his damge so much that he'll be practilly worthless.

I haven't played Clash in a couple years now, so my perspective may be off, but I have an interesting comparison on Miner. I play competitive singles Pokémon, and the Pokémon that the Miner reminds me of is called Landorus-Therian. Like the Miner, it is an incredibly versatile pick for your team that can serve a variety of roles; bulky support, speed control using a Choice Scarf (a speed-boosting item), or even a set-up attacker, due to great stats, a fantastic ability, and awesome defensive typing. Despite this, Lando has some key weaknesses and most teams are going to have a built-in answer for Lando--you don't have to prep for it specifically. The problem is what it enables the *other* Pokémon on the team to do. It reminds me of how Miner can be used on several archetypes, but never felt overwhelming to play against. One more thing they have in common is that competitive players love them, but more casual players seem to dislike them. The thing about Lando existing, though, is it serves as role compression. It beats certain powerful Pokémon, it sets Stealth Rocks, it can remove the opponent's rocks, it can spread status conditions, etc. Miner does this as well. It can serve as a pseudo-spell, a mini-tank, or a win condition on the same deck depending on the matchup. No big conclusion, just thought it was an interesting comparison. Lando brings variety due to the role compression it brings--I'd argue that, to a degree anyways, Miner does the same thing.

I’ll be honest. I’ve never played clash royal, never even gone near it. But I love your videos about the game. The way you examine numbers, metas, and give so much context to the game, and how troops effect it, make your videos a great watch even with no knowledge of the game at all. Keep up the videos!

Never stop making these videos we love you

Stickerbush Symphony at the beginning... Sounds so good...

Honestly I still think the miner nerf we got a while ago was unnecessary. Poison was the main reason it was so obnoxious, along with some support troops that allowed it to be unusually strong. Had we given it another couple of weeks given what changes were made, I think it would have been fine.

I love miners! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

the music you use in your videos are so relaxing please do not change them😌

this calls for a card removal, replaced by the miner spirit

This aged like milk

Nice to see you getting the bag feels nice :)

Im glad you went over why you use top ladder stats, I did often wonder

Miner should do sparky damage

Buff mirror

YES NEW VIDEO LESS GO seriously though i love these videos and the history of the cards i cam Just play these vidoes angwhere and ill enjoy them

Im a miner main, and this card is not overpowered at all, just so flexible and versatyle.

Will you talk about the clone spell? There was a time at which i played clone golem night witch, even zappy in mid ladder and had a lot of fun and then they made the clone spawn to the back instead of the side and i never saw it ever again, and it was already rare to go against

Clearing the schedule. My new favourite CR youtuber just dropped another video!

31:38 its not always random though. if the match has just started, the enemy will place the miner in a position that the tornado cabt pull, which is in the diagonal part of the tower, if you search it up youll see it, its hard to explain lol. and if you're mid match and the enemy has cheap swarm cards, such as bats, goblins, and others, he'll place the miner on the bottom of your tower so it makes your card go the opposite way, and allowing the swarm cards hit the tower. again, its quite hard to explain on a comment, but you can find multiple videos about the best miner placement and how to counter it. great video as always!

Great as always. What would you think to doing a video on the Xbow? It sure has a reaction from veterans.

I’ve been using Royal Giant since the day it got that initial buff and haven’t stopped using it since. I’d love to see a video on its history

So much i can't wait for this channel to cover, Prince, Dark Prince, Golem, Elixer Pump, Elixer Golem, Pekka, Mini Pekka and Sparky

Can't wait for the electrio Spirit video

0:14 the way the wizard gets pulled away is way too funny to me

Hooray new Gratz vid!

love your channels content, great documeantries

Deploy time nerf is a nice idea, but there are problems either way. If it gets a deployment nerf to the point where you can drop something before it even targets the tower, then it loses basically everything that makes it what it is. If it's still basically impossible to time it, then a damage buff with your troop killing it a little faster would just result in the same thing we have now. I think in a modern meta, the problem with miner is that it's basically a poison cycle deck. And that doesn't feel right. Made even worse by the fact that you can 3 card cycle with a champion in your deck. Every match vs miner cycle players feels like a fight to death, wether the player is good or not. There's just something really weird about that archetype.

I think they should add something to tell exactly where the miner will be placed(like goblin barrel shadow) the card will be less annoying to deal with and people will stop complaining miner nerf 😂

Only UKpostsr I sit through an ad sponsorship for
