A YouTube video discussed 20 cards that were initially planned for the game Clash Royale but ultimately didn't make the cut. These cards included:
1. The Charger - a bowler-inspired card with long-range capabilities.
2. The Portal Spell - allowed players to transport troops across the arena.
3. The Gunner - a prince-like card with two pistols.
4. The Hologram Tower - a tower that cloned itself, confusing enemies.
5. The Barbarian Launcher - a cannon that launched barbarians.
6. The Prison Goblin - a card that may have inspired the Goblin Cage.
7. The Ice Wizard Tower - a tower that slowed down the game.
8. The Gift Spell - gave players a random card.
9. The Mega Pekka - a powerful Pekka with various designs.
10. The Bear Trap - a trap that could have been the first in the game.
11. The Chain Tesla - a Tesla that did chain attacks.
12. The Elixir Monster - an elixir blob that split into two.
13. The Wolf Rider - an initial design for the RAM Rider.
14. The Butterfly Spell - distracted troops with butterflies.
15. The Dark Mirror - mirrored the opponent's last played card.
16. The Trojan Horse - a literal horse that spawned troops.
17. The Elite Barbarian Hut - a hut that spawned barbarians.
18. The Ghost - a different version of the ghost that inspired the Bandit.
19. The Ice Spirit Hut - a hut that spawned ice spirits.
20. The Dragon - a regular dragon that was too big and was replaced by the Baby Dragon.
These cards were either scrapped due to game balance issues, visual problems, or because they didn't fit with the game's design.
