Clash Royale Snowstorm event best deck and banned cards

Clash Royale recently launched a new event called Snowstorm, where you will battle in the arena in the middle of a snowstorm. Unlike all events, this one is very tricky as it freezes your units after a few seconds. 

What’s even more interesting is that you will use an exclusive spell called Warmth to unfroze your troops and attack your opponent. To help you win matches, here is the best deck that you can use in the Snowstorm event in Clash Royale.

Best deck for the Clash Royale Snowstorm event

Before we dive in, you should get a rough idea of how this event works. In this event, you have to deploy cards as you do in the game, but there’s a catch: every troop will incur a slowed effect, which will eventually freeze them after a few seconds due to the snowstorm in the arena. 

To counter this effect, Clash Royale provided a Warmth card, which is fixated in your deck and costs only an elixir. Because of that, you can select only seven cards in the deck.

Once you use the Warmth spell over your frozen units, then they will start moving. However, it only works on the units that are frozen, so it will not have any effect on a troop with only a slowed effect.

Pekka Evo Valk Witch deck

• Warmth
• Pekka (Evo)
• Mega Knight
• Valkyrie
• Witch
• Arrows
• Barbarian Barrel
• Goblin Gang

I personally use the Pekka Evo Walk Witch deck, and so far, I have had a 100% win percentage in ten matches. This deck is really impactful in the Snowstorm event since you can bulk up your push in such a way that it will be unstoppable. 

So, the idea is you start with Pekka and Mega Knight and let it get frozen. You have to keep cycling and doing the same thing until your push looks a lot stronger. Once you have an ample amount of Pekka and Mega Knight frozen in a single place, just use the Warmth spell, and all will come back to life. 

During the frozen period, you have to defend your push with cards like Witch, Goblin Gang, Barbarian Barrel, and so on. Keep your Arrows ready, as I have seen a lot of players using the Goblin Barrel. You can use Barbarian Barrel to directly attack the frozen enemy units in the enemy’s arena. 

All banned cards in the Clash Royale Snowstorm event

Due to the game mechanics of the Snowstorm event, the developers have banned a few cards that might impact the game’s fun. The idea was not to use any kind of trick that could either slow down the enemies or freeze them or might get unfrozen:

• Clone: This spell was banned, if you clone the frozen card, the cloned unit will start moving.
• Freeze: The developers want the units to be frozen by the snowstorm only.
• Mirror: This card was banned as players might use it to mirror the Warmth spell.
• Ram Rider: Ram Rider possesses a snare, which she throws towards the enemy and slows them. The developers want the characters to be slowed by snowstorms only.
• Goblin Giant: When Goblin Giant dies in a frozen state, it will spawn two Spear Goblins, which can move and attack even without the Warmth spell. Because of that, it is banned in this event.

However, there are a few exceptions in this list if we go by logic. For instance, Ice Wizard, Ice Golem, Ice Spirit, and Giant Snowball. The only logical reason is that since they are snow-themed cards and it makes sense to include them in the event, that’s why they are not banned. But it doesn’t apply to Freeze, as it has a more long-lasting frozen effect than an Ice Spirit.
