Evolution Lumberjack is out; Evolution Giant is in. Ken's latest Clash Royale upload changes the ground support for his Balloon deck, then tests whether the substitution can carry him to Champion.

Called "the accidental buff", the video has drawn about 433,000 views since yesterday. The title supplies the verdict, but the matches show a rather less certain Ken working out whether he has found something effective or simply landed favourable opponents.

The opening is hardly immaculate. He accidentally deploys a Giant at the back, recovers and eventually pushes through with Giant and Balloon under Rage. Keeping the airborne attacker in the deck while changing its companion gives the experiment a clear question: does the bigger ground presence justify losing his familiar Lumberjack?

After successive wins, Ken still isn't entirely convinced. Defensive Freeze spells help him through another match, and he openly wonders how much credit belongs to the deck and how much to the matchups. The final battle does deliver the promotion: League 4 Champion appears on screen, followed by a celebratory Lucky Drop opening.

Meanwhile, viewers are keeping a separate scorecard of his commentary. Several point to the moment he asks for Mega Minion twice as though naming different cards; others flag his Lumberjack-and-spears mix-up. Ken may be evaluating the deck, but his audience is checking the play-by-play too.
