If you aren’t much of a deck builder, we have some of the best decks for the challenge listed below.

Best Skeleton King Launch Party Decks

There’s a variety of variants you can try out to defeat other players while using the Skeleton King in your decks. He isn’t always going to be a win-condition, but he will be able to chip away at your opponent’s defenses with his swarms of skeletons.
