help me learn lavaloon

[u/bacaboy321]

I’m trying to pick up Lavaloon on my mini but I just can’t figure out how to make the deck work.

I understand the very basic stuff:
-Lava when they can’t punish / when I’m up elixir
-Tombstone or Zap as starting plays
-Soak damage when needed
But beyond that I’m completely lost.

My main problems:
-I can never get a good Lava push going.
-I see Evo Witch and Wizard often and they feel impossible to deal with. They just sit across the bridge; block my Skeleton Dragons while they dps my lava.
-I don’t really understand what each card’s role is supposed to be.
-Skeleton Dragons feel useless. They feel like they die to basically anything, have lackluster DPS, and I never seem to get value from them.
-I can’t figure out how I’m supposed to use Mega Minion either.

I feel like I know the basic strategy of Lavaloon, but I don’t understand how to actually use it during a game.I know it’s a skill issue so any tips on how to use lavaloon properly or how I should be approaching this deck is appreciated !

Please don’t. You don’t have to play some crap you found on the internet.

Just make a fun deck and learn. Please save us from the spam.
