Clash Royale - Top 5 best decks for the Clashmas meta (December 2022)


The December 2022 Balance Changes are now live, and with it, the Phoenix and the Monk have finally been nerfed amongst other changes.

So, you will be needing some new decks to match the new Clashmas meta.

Take a look at our top five best Clash Royale decks for the current meta below.

LumberLoon + Double Dragon

The LumberLoon deck has been a classic in Clash Royale for some time now, but the addition of both the Electro and Inferno Dragon takes it to the next level.

Mighty Miner Log Bait

If you are a fan of a Log Bait deck then this one should work perfectly with the current meta! You may want to opt for the overpowered Dart Goblin in place of the Cannon if your levels arent quite right.

Hog Rider + Earthquake Deck

This deck is extremely well balanced with the Mortar providing cover in both defence and attack. You may wish to add in the Freeze spell but we'd go with the Earthquake in order to destroy those buildings and let the Hog go to work.
