Skeleton Barrel + Mortar + 6 more

Overview

Mortar Bait is a hybrid siege-bait archetype that dominates through relentless chip damage and spell-baiting mechanics. With an average elixir cost of 2.9, this deck combines the defensive power of siege with the pressure of log bait, using Skeleton Barrel, Dart Goblin, and Skeletons to force out spells before landing crucial Mortar locks. The deck excels at outcycling counters and maintaining constant pressure across both lanes. Knight provides versatile defense, Minions handle air threats, while Fireball and Barbarian Barrel offer spell chip and defensive utility. Mortar Bait punishes heavy decks and spell-dependent archetypes, rewarding skilled players who can manage cycle pressure and elixir efficiency to accumulate damage over time.
