The Summoning Salt music feels so nostalgic and is excellent music for these videos. The summaries you've been doing are so thorough and a lot of fun to watch. Something that may fit into these videos and calls back to past videos you've done is including commentary from great players and content creators in the community who are known for playing/discussing the various decks you cover
I was 16 when i started watching this channel im 25 now and Ash has an awesome ability to build up a channel that encapsulates the attention of the majority of clash of clash royale after being a delivery driver and going through mental up and downs regarding his brother that he was very close to who was disabled. Ash normally posted "down to earth" videos where he would share personal and emotional content which all of his community loved. He is an OG and an Unc that the younger generation can relate to and his community can trust him. I love ya Ash never change!!!!!
As someone who created their own how gob bait deck when I first started and as someone who has been playing this archetype since the beginning through the highs and lows this was an incredible watch. All these nostalgic decks for me especially some like mighty miner being one of my favorite was cool to see decks that i long forgot about. Thanks for the video Ash! Shoutout to all my log bait players!
One on a specific deck type 🤔. I like this a lot. Its not a particular focus on one card but a focus on a group of cards that, when combined, create the monsters we know them as. Genius ash. You took a winning formula and you put a fresh new twist on it that is very watchable and interesting. Keep it up :D . My only critique would be to up the audio quality and spend more time recording your lines. You still sound like Talk Show Ash. Almost like a quick fire script reading. Draw it out just a bit more :). I love it dude
There's a few interesting bits of extra trivia that I think are worth mentioning. 1: Goblin barrel originally cost 4 elixir but did tiny impact damage to crown towers, but got reworked to 3 elixir without impact damage. Since zap was in every deck and hard-countered it for +1, this made barrel impractical to run without some zap bait element. 2: Barbarian barrel was borderline useless on release but when it got many buffs, especially to 2 elixir, it boxed out log bait not insignificantly. The key nerfs to barb barrel that let log bait breathe again were damage nerfs preventing it from straight up killing princess-health units, and a width reduction, which meant tricky barrels on the sides of the tower would preserve 1 goblin against a typical centered barb barrel. 3: Skeleton barrel got reworked to have less health, but move much faster, which gave it more of a light and quick pressure role, perfect for the log bait archetype. 4: Normally goblin gang is that card that shuts down everything if not spelled off, but they performed horribly against all 3 launch champions. Golden knight would wipe them all out with a 1 elixir ability, no questions asked, archer queen could 1-shot them (could get more than 5 shots off during ability), and skeleton king could (eventually) 1-shot them with a big splash radius. Hence the switch to guards (gk would only remove their shields, aq needed 9 shots in total, 3 per guard, and sk wouldn't quite wipe them out as efficiently) 5: Dagger duchess at its prime killed the goblin barrel aspect of log bait, and most cycle archetypes. However, it turned princess at the bridge into a real win condition, since it almost guaranteed tower damage unless predicted or very quickly reacted to. It also never crossed the bridge, making it not suffer against duchess like most troops, and any single card used to counter her would either not counter-push or be very easy to stop thanks to how broken the duchess was (often not needing to spend anything). This led to the rise of a rocket cycle deck that had no other win condition besides princess at the bridge. In the season it debuted, it would finish 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th among the top 10. 5.5: Ryley, the top log bait player, finished #1 with that deck, and the very next season, goblin barrel evo would be added. Kinda funny coincidence. Goblin barrel evo on launch was also kinda niche since it performed very poorly against duchess, but it quickly gained traction after duchess was nerfed to the ground. Bit of a long read but these were some points that I thought would be worth mentioning to add onto what was already covered. Pretty nice and comprehensive video from someone who's been in the scene since the start (and I'm sure this deck holds a special place in your heart because Surgical Goblin used it in the final final game of King's Cup 2 to clinch 60k)
Love the new format. You are a big part of CR history and I'm happy to see you telling it. Watching this series and Arcto back-to-back. Both great story-telling.
Loved this! I'm glad to watch your videos again :) In a future video you could talk about the history of monetization or ways to make progress in the game. How in the beginning you could only do it through chests and gems but then they started introducing more chests, wild cards, the pass royale, the infamous X10 value offers, etc. Hope to see more of you!
Playing classic Log Bait to this date. I love the play style so much Also holy crap you brought some memories back with the tornado and tesla variants!
Ash, i ve been a fan since you started the channel, been here for "pro vs pro" and all the amazing players you brought for our enjoyment. Could you do X bow next? Much love to you and your family bro. Clash Royale community will never forget your dedication.
man seeing a documentary on the history of lavaloon would be cool asf. i also think a little 1 to 2 minute section talking about how the deck plays for people who dont play the game anymore would be very useful.
I was just thinking about your channel earlier, wondering if you’d make a video about the new update, 2v2 ladder leak, etc… I always loved watching your videos the most. Had to find other creators to watch when you stopped posting as much
I love your new content. I look foward to these. Very well put together! Would be great to see you play some of the decks. Like how log bait 2016 would fair today vs the new log bait decks.
Im sure that goblin barrel is single most hated card by clash developers. not a single buff, just a little bit of love, nothing, just counter after hard counters after counters... and to top it of, it got the single worst evolution... was my favorite card and deck type for years, but last two years is unplayable... makes me sad
I like the gob barrel evo! Yes, it's not the strongest evo, but the concept embodies exactly what log bait is: playing mind games and forcing the opponent to make lose-lose decisions. Also, I personally think it's a decent evo. It's not the OP or anything but definitely usable, I use it and am peaking right now (UC 1700) in POL
I just read controversial and ash and clicked thinking it's one of those videos again, thank goodness i quit quite sometime ago. Loved the classical post prod though. Rock on!!
Hey ash! love the new format. Couple things to note: 1. I think the music is a bit loud at times, often overshadowing the actual video/content itself. 2. Having a couple moments where there are a few seconds of breathing room would help, the video very much felt like it was go go go the entire time. otherwise, love the video, well done! i very much look forward to seeing more of this kind of content from you!
Pls bring In a guest to talk about strategies. U can do 1 hr podcasts and upload it in 4 parts. No other major youtuber talks about the strategies and meta strategies as you did regularly and thoroughly. Even worse no one does clan war decks content.
You know the game has a problem when it revolves around an archetype win con over 7 years. There's barely any positive trade towards the direct counter and the defender has to play their cards perfectly, nerfing the zap to can't kill goblins and turn an inferno useless is like playing rock paper scissors but the rock can't beat a scissor. 🤣
Hope you're all enjoying the new format! Open all any/all feedback :) We'll definitely imrpove as we go!

godzilla: battle line >>> Clash

Enjoyed this. Haven’t played in three years but love the summoning salt style videos.

History of night witch would be good 🫡👀 Great video btw
Love that idea :)
@@ChatWithAshyou should also do one video on bridgespam. It has been there for a long time and still very relevant today with the Evo Pekka etc
I was thinking it's been so long since I watched one of your vids yesterday. Really enjoyed watching you back in my high school days!

you made me go back in time great video Ash💚
you are the goat!
I still watch your 4-5 years old videos because it brings back old memories. Thank you !
loving these 'essay' type videos. wonder if they would work on your other channel
Keep up the great work, good stuff Ash 🔥

Love you Ash. I’m excited about you posting more again!
Great to hear it! Appreciate you bring part of the notification squad!
I thought this was a ad
Actually, SirTag was talking how you can identify which log has the real goblins on evo goblin barrel. It's the barrel on top that spawns the goblins.
Please do history of golden knight or maybe history of royal recuits maybe? I love this new format and your videos man glad your back!!!!
Playing classic Log Bait to this date. I love the play style so much
Also holy crap you brought some memories back with the tornado and tesla variants!
Ash, i ve been a fan since you started the channel, been here for "pro vs pro" and all the amazing players you brought for our enjoyment. Could you do X bow next? Much love to you and your family bro. Clash Royale community will never forget your dedication.
Awesome video Ash. Love this series mate, brings back a lot of memories. 👍👍
You're a legacy in Clash Royale ash. Love watching these videos when they come out.
CWA the GOAT of CR is back!
man seeing a documentary on the history of lavaloon would be cool asf. i also think a little 1 to 2 minute section talking about how the deck plays for people who dont play the game anymore would be very useful.
Missed you man and it's cool to see you trying new things. Can u do 2.6 or 2.9 x bow next
The clash royale and clash of clans OG who else remembers red elite clan war days
Oh man! I LOVE that you commented this! Thanks for watching and the continued support!
I was just thinking about your channel earlier, wondering if you’d make a video about the new update, 2v2 ladder leak, etc… I always loved watching your videos the most. Had to find other creators to watch when you stopped posting as much
Congratulations Ash! Great video!! Make more videos like this one, maybe about the archetypes, strategies, placements, ...
10/10 🔥🔥🔥
This is a Clash Royale MasterPiece!
TY Ash, good to see you back!
good video overall. Imo, make them longer, add more stats and examples. Excited to see what you can do with a series like this.
Love this CWA EVO!
Phenomenal! The music, the lore, the storytelling! So, so good!
AMAZING VIDEO! More of this format, please. But also take care of yourself, I can get that these higher quality videos probably take a lot to make
I love your new content. I look foward to these. Very well put together! Would be great to see you play some of the decks. Like how log bait 2016 would fair today vs the new log bait decks.
Man these videos are nice as hell I just wish they came out more often
I need a best of 3 challenge with oj, molt, and shane. Or make it a tournament/longer video where there’s a 1st-4th place. Make it happen 🙂
Classic Pekka Bs , Next ? Btw great video! Keep doing all decks and all archetypes! I loved it Bro ❤️
Keep these up even once a month love too see ur videos again
So happy to see the Clash Content coming up again!
Great, Great vídeo Ash
Lot’s of work but it became an excellent one!
I enjoyed watching some log bait history from you Ash. It would be nice if you also do the history of one of the hated decks. xbow cycle
Amazing video🔥
You forgot to mention a Log bait deck that was VERY POPULAR in May of this year
Gratz without the hideous backstory
so basically what im getting from this is that oj is to blame for my suffering, good to know 🤣
in all seriousness, awesome video as always
It would be sick if you made a royal Giant history video! Keep of the great work as always

It's good to have you back, Tim! How have you been? I love your content so much, Tim! Keep it up!:)
Hey thanks so much :) I've been very well - busy with the business and the fam! Thanks again!
Yay, those happy memories are flooding back. Thanks Ash 🎉😊❤
Nice video. I watched until the end. I still a log bait player since the release of the game. My favorite card was prince goblin barrel princess
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I just quit the match if I see a globlin barrel.... Way to annoying... Good to have you back Ash :)
Thank you for this Ash❤
I just read controversial and ash and clicked thinking it's one of those videos again, thank goodness i quit quite sometime ago. Loved the classical post prod though. Rock on!!
Thanks Ash, amazing narration
History with Ash, love it ❤
This was awesome would love to see hog next
This style of video is fantastic
Good to see you man.
Great video. Can see the effort behind it
Tugg speedman would beat logbait
This why everyone plays the game the same way now. Isn't funny how chess only has 16 different pieces but has more variation in strategy.
Rage was reworked, certainly not buffed
Real ones remember Adam the logbait goat
Some Log Bait decks had made great use of the Skeletons Evolution.
Hey ash! love the new format. Couple things to note:
1. I think the music is a bit loud at times, often overshadowing the actual video/content itself.
2. Having a couple moments where there are a few seconds of breathing room would help, the video very much felt like it was go go go the entire time.
otherwise, love the video, well done! i very much look forward to seeing more of this kind of content from you!
Great detail too!
supercell was "buffing the log" you say? lol
Well done Ash!
i love the summoning salt music haha
Unlike xbow, which was weakened to 30 seconds and never appeared in the public eye again...😢
Loving Summoning Salt stile videos
"Baby wake up, clash with ash uploaded a video"
Pls bring In a guest to talk about strategies. U can do 1 hr podcasts and upload it in 4 parts.
No other major youtuber talks about the strategies and meta strategies as you did regularly and thoroughly.
Even worse no one does clan war decks content.
Oh come all Ye faithful! Nice Ash!
Looking back I missed the 3 musky Meta. They've been terrible for like 5 years.
You know the game has a problem when it revolves around an archetype win con over 7 years. There's barely any positive trade towards the direct counter and the defender has to play their cards perfectly, nerfing the zap to can't kill goblins and turn an inferno useless is like playing rock paper scissors but the rock can't beat a scissor. 🤣
Log bait has been My most hated archetype since Ash favorite card (Inferno Tower) was use on those decks. 😂❤
very well made video ash
Been rockin log bait since 2017
Wild how Clash of Clans has overtaken Royale. Supercell destroyed CR with their greed
More card history please❤
Ash!!!!🎉 We clashers love you!!!
Thank you :) Feeling the love!
welcome back
I used to face log bait every single game back in 2022. I’m an xbow player
As a log bait player since the begining , i just saw my whole CR life defile under my eyes :')
very well made video!
So what you're telling me is we can blame OJ
Wow I’m very emotional old days I’m still playing log bait
It's like I'm a kid again 🥹🥹🥹
SK!!! :) Sup brother!
@@ChatWithAsh university life hitting hard... but I will be here for every upload, Ash!
I quit playing clash when duchess was added bc I couldn’t play log
hope u keep postin content bro
Evolution of supercell video ?
Keep up ash also what do you think about the latest clash royale updates ?❤
the history of my hard counter

You should do xbow next bro
History of elixir collector?
Lavaloon video when?
