Ok, so Deckshop Pro is not very accurate. It doesn't really take into account shifting metas and how good a card is. There are some wacky decks that can be made on Deckshop Pro that Deckshop considers Godly in every rating

Looks a lot like a Midladder deck. I'm personally not a fan of how skill-less it could be, and the fact that it has 3 win conditions (2 of which are like the same "genre" of win conditions). You might do really well with it, but I do not like it lol

lol ikr

it doesnt have a big spell either (mega knight drop is kinda a big spell but not rlly)

They can just defend and spell cycle since you don't have a big spell

But seriously, this deck is pretty bad. It can be toxic against certain matchups since it has literally three win conditions, and in some cases, it seems hard to breakthrough, but it's not that great.

Not really

It's just because it isn't human. 

It bases it all of statistics. 

I'll try to break it down:

Three win conditions of course is godly attack

And then you have strong defense with the ice spirit, bats (cycle and strong on defense), you have the Mega Knight for Wizards and Witches, and you have inferno tower for tanks. Ram rider can also be used defensively against balloons.

On the topic of synergy, I'm not all that sure, but it may have to do with Mega Knight paired with either of the three win conditions. Mega Knight Goblin Barrel can be absolutely devasting if they use their log on Ram Rider or something in an earlier push. Mega Knight Hog Rider is an annoying Midladder push, and Mega Knight Ram rider is actually seen pretty often in the OP Mega Knight Ram Queen Bridgespam deck. 

Deckshop also probably thought the deck was versatile because it has three win conditions (three ways to deal good damage to the tower) and proper answers to nearly everything. Ram Rider can also work as Log Bait in certain matchups. Hog Rider is annoying to defend against without a building, and Goblin barrel is just strong when you bait out their spells. Mega Knight is a decent source of splash and to kill the fireballies. Inferno is good for building targeters and tanks. You've got a small spell for some tower damage and to counter goblin barrels. And you have ice spirit (which is good on defense) and bats (which are also good on defense). After all the bats are basically a 2 elixir minion horde. 

 

All this stuff is probably determined through the statistics of many many games. Deckshop's computer is probably just not strong enough to determine the ever-changing meta.

oh ok

Yeah, Deckshop is only mean't to help you create a cool and fun deck. 

Remember that metas and stuff rise from us humans. When a pro suddenly learns of an insanely strong synergy, the meta could suddenly change drastically. Deckshop won't just say, "Oh, ok! So this card is broken now!"
