The 9 cards and why each one is here

C
38 Β· beats 43% of random decks

The deck as the source plays it.

Pom PiperCost 3
Without it the score barely changes

Ready: Temp increases 3 random Minions' ATK by 2/4/8/20.

  • Community tier list, April video (S): With the Variant, on Ready it speeds up every Minion's first attacks. Without it (C), the ATK buff is temporary and must be redone every round.

Don't have it? Use Turnipette (score +10.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

HogsteenCost 3 Β·
Without it the score drops 5.0

Ready: Summons 2/2/2/4 1/2/3β˜… Temp Steenhogs that inherit 25% ATK.

  • Main piece (β˜…): the plan revolves around it.
  • Community tier list, April video (B): Summons stronger boars with each star and feeds Chomper. In PvP it's locked into that deck.

Don't have it? Use Turnipette (score +5.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

Without it the score barely changes

Fires a volley of 4/5/6/10 bullets at the enemy, each dealing 40% damage.

  • Community tier list, April video (S): S with the slow Variant. Without it (A), its burst still breaks the snail Boss's shields and wins games on that Boss.

Don't have it? Use Turnipette (score +10.0)

Owned by default.

PomblasterCost 5 Β·
Without it the score barely changes

Magic (4 sec): Makes the next attack deal 100%/105%/110%/330% Area Damage.

  • Main piece (β˜…): the plan revolves around it.
  • Community tier list, April video (C): Solid C: strong area shots, but needs slows so the wave walks slowly. Against fast-clearing decks it loses power.

Don't have it? Use Violet Magus (score +5.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

Peanut PageCost 5 Β·
Without it the score barely changes

Increases the ATK of the Minion with the highest ATK by 1/2/4/12 whenever a Minion is promoted.

  • Main piece (β˜…): the plan revolves around it.
  • Community tier list, April video (A): Every promotion gives ATK to your highest ATK Minion. One of the best supports for Orange Bros (a single Orange gets it all) and good in the Kraut deck.

Don't have it? Use Chomper (score +5.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

BerrinettaCost 5 Β·
Without it the score barely changes

Attacks enemies in a small area, dealing 25%/25%/25%/100% damage and slowing them by 25%/40%/60%/60% for 3 sec.

  • Main piece (β˜…): the plan revolves around it.
  • Community tier list, April video (B): Slows enemies entering the field. Lots of players run it and it decides close games.

Don't have it? Use Headless Jack (score +5.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

Without it the score barely changes

Deals 200%/200%/200%/800% damage to the enemy boss.

  • Community tier list, April video (B): Its power is the Variant, which makes it gain ATK. A in a good Blessing week, B otherwise.

Don't have it? Use Pumpkin King (score +5.0)

Available on the Glory Track.

Without it the score drops 5.0

Aura: Increases Lady Tulip's ATK by +2/4/8/32 for each Suncoin you have spent this round.

  • Core piece of the plan: Spending economy: Lady Tulip.
  • Community tier list, April video (B): Win condition of the spend-Sun deck, with pressure in rounds 7 to 9. Without the Variant the buff is huge but temporary; with it, smaller and permanent. Swings a lot with the weekly Blessing.

Don't have it? Use Eggydjinn (score 0.0)

Obtained by clearing Adventure Mode 2-3

AlchemushCost 8
Without it the score drops 5.0

Deploy: Temp increases the selected Minion's ATK by 50.

  • Community tier list, April video (C): A big buff, but only for one round, and it takes a cost 8 slot. Might fit the Orange Bros deck.

Don't have it? Use Pumpkin King (score 0.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

How to play the match

In his view no other pair handles the front line as well right now. Hogsteen fills the field and hits random targets, which wears down units in the middle and back. Pom Piper buffs, but the main booster is Peanut Page: each promotion raises the highest-ATK Minion's ATK, so avoid promoting when Pomblaster isn't the highest on the field. Pomblaster falls off around round 7 if it doesn't grow. Lady Tulip comes from Adventure Mode Chapter 1. You can still lose if the field isn't set up well.

Questions

Which card should I level first?

Pom Piper: taking it to level 10 raises the score by 14.0, more than any other card in the deck.

Can I play it without spending money?

Yes: no card in the deck is from the paid Battle Pass.

What if I don't have Hogsteen?

Use Turnipette instead (score +5.0). It's the card that matters most: without it the score drops 5.0.

Deck by JitteryKennon (a player around 3,300 trophies) on the official Discord, #deck-building channel, Oct 4, 2026, with his explanation. I have not played this deck in a match yet; the score comes from the deck builder's simulator.

Deck builder scores at level 8 (1,000 to 2,199 Trophies), from simulated matches that run until a Captain dies, as in the game. Opponents: 150 random decks and the 6 meta decks the builder generated itself. The fight was calibrated on Oct 10 with my own real matches.

  • Oct 06, 2026: guide rebuilt in the new format (versions, round by round, leveling order, Variants and matchups), with the recalibrated deck builder and APK 2.0.1021 numbers.
  • Oct 09, 2026: deck added to the wiki.
