Hero Valkyrie is the ingredient Ken trusts most. The rest of his experimental Clash Royale deck looks unlikely enough that even he needs convincing, and an early victory prompts a little self-restraint: "Calm down Ken, you just won one game."
His upload, "I actually cooked", has drawn roughly 448,000 views since yesterday. This time, rather than drafting around a rule such as picking expensive cards or buildings, Ken is testing a combination of his own on the ranked ladder.
The plan brings Hero Valkyrie together with Evo Giant, Cannon Cart, Flying Machine and Goblin Curse. Ken describes it as Fireball bait: offer several threats worth spending the spell on, so answering one can leave another free to cause trouble. Valkyrie's ability helps turn defensive stops into counterattacks, while Flying Machine keeps contributing from the air.
The first match ends with all three crowns. In the next, the extra elixir lets Ken pile on pressure until the defence gives way. By then, his cautious opening has become a considerably firmer verdict: "I genuinely believe I'm on to something here. I really do."
An Inferno Tower matchup gives the idea another test, and Ken finishes the session unbeaten, with the progression screen showing his move into Champion.
Meanwhile, viewers have taken the title in a more literal direction, imagining Ken declining a takeaway because dinner is already made. A deck experiment on screen, a domestic cooking joke in the comments: "I actually cooked" is doing both jobs.
