Which Six Clash Royale Deck Archetypes Does the Meta Guide Cover?

The six archetypes named in the supplied draft are PEKKA, Hog Rider, Miner Poison, Balloon Freeze, Graveyard, and Royal Giant. The source describes the video as covering six decks after balance changes, but the material here does not include complete card lists or evidence to verify a current ranking. Use the names to identify the archetypes, not as ready-to-copy decks.

The six archetypes

1. PEKKA control: The draft describes using PEKKA defensively, then supporting it on a counterpush. It identifies Monk as a possible support card.
2. Hog Rider cycle: The draft frames this as repeated Hog Rider pressure, with Cannon or Tesla as possible defensive buildings.
3. Miner Poison: The stated plan is Miner chip damage supported by Poison and defensive cards.
4. Balloon Freeze: The draft describes pairing Balloon with Freeze to pressure a tower.
5. Graveyard control: The draft pairs Graveyard with a tank such as Knight or Ice Golem.
6. Royal Giant: The draft names an evolved Royal Giant supported by cards that provide splash damage or air defense.

These are archetype descriptions, not six complete deck builds. The draft does not specify all eight cards for any deck, and its reference to a “current” meta is not independently verified or dated. Before building one, find the video’s full card lists and check that they match the balance version you are playing.
