Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:00Ken sets the rule: draft the highest-elixir cards offered, regardless of how cumbersome the deck becomes.
  2. 2:04The opening battle tests whether he can defend while waiting to afford his next expensive card.
  3. 8:55Ken chooses the "Mega Mega Jump" modifier for Mega Knight; the match result comes at 11:27.
  4. 11:39Golem, P.E.K.K.A, Lightning, Sparky and Pump enter the next draft; the result comes at 17:04.
  5. 17:23Another heavyweight draft runs into early trouble against Charging Giant.

Three Musketeers, P.E.K.K.A, Rocket and Goblin Giant make an imposing hand. Ken's problem is being able to afford to play it.

In "chaos mega draft, but I pick expensive", he commits to choosing the highest-elixir options offered in Clash Royale's draft. The upload has drawn roughly 476,000 views since yesterday, with the attraction lying in a simple question: can a deck full of expensive threats survive the gaps between them?

"When I play one card, I can never play another one again, especially in single, because I don't have the elixir for it," Ken says during the opening draft. It's an exaggerated complaint with a practical consequence: every deployment leaves him waiting for enough resources to answer the next attack.

Still, the lumbering approach delivers. His opening match ends in a three-crown win. In the next, a modifier called "Mega Mega Jump" gives his Mega Knight plan a substantial boost, and a swarm of Mega Knights overwhelms the opposing crown tower.

This is a different constraint from the buildings-only draft we covered earlier: Ken isn't restricting himself to one kind of card, but to the costly end of every choice. Golem, Sparky and Lightning join the experiment before a later opponent's Charging Giant puts him under early pressure. Having the biggest cards available doesn't mean having the right answer ready to play.
