The Miner is one of the first legendarys in Clash Royale and is still is one of the most popular troops to this day. Although he hasn't had many balance changes, his influence has always been prominent in several different metas.

    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.

    I actually hate Miner, but that's because I'm bad with the card. I think Gratz could've touched on the "skill' of the card a bit more in the video: 95% of the time when I lose to miner, the thought is "damn, he got me" because he caught me off the card rotation needed to deal with it, rather than "what a load of crap." Also, IMO you rarely feel hopeless against the miner itself because of the low damage, and there is always a way to counterplay the miner's chip, though it might be prediction-based and could leave you vulnerable to the synergy cards.

    I'd rather deal with Miner at its peak of strenght than Phoenix. Seriously, who thought making a Mega Minion that has more DPS/faster attack speed, summon a Giant Snowball without the slow on death and forces you to kill the egg with a spell the majority of the time when it dies on the opponent's side just for 1+ elixir by the way. And personally, when Phoenix first came out, I though it was a 7-elixir card just off the look of the card alone.

    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

    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

    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!

    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.

    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'm in the same camp, and i feel like if they're going to constantly nerf its' damage they need to give it something to offset it. something like 8% higher health or something to incentivize use as a tank for smaller units while reducing its efficiency as pure chip damage. otherwise you're just straight nerfing an entire archetype, which is ridiculous considering the fact that miner decks are some of the least braindead in the game, while things like bridgespam and hog cycle have been unchanged for half a decade.

    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.
