I just had a shower thought where I wanted to compile every (meta) X-Bow deck that has existed throughout the years. There isn't really any wiki thread that answers this question so I made my own list while also trying to rank them from most difficult to use to easiest. 

I'm an on and off OG that plays 3.0 X-Bow casually and here's my personal rankings:

\#1 - 2.9 Classic (Ice Golem)  
\#2 - Classic X-Bow Rocket  
\#3 - 3.0 Classic  
\#4 - IceBow Rocket (Valk or Knight Variant)  
\#5 - QueenBow Rocket  
\#6 - IceBow Rocket Mega Minion (2017)  
\#7 - PumpBow (Little Prince + Evo Knight)  
\#8 - PumpBow (Mighty Miner + Archers Variant)  
\#9 - PumpBow (Musk Variant)  
\#10 - X-Bow Inferno Tower Cycle (Minions or Mega Minion)  
\#11 - X-Bow InfernoDrag IceWiz MegaMin 20 Wins Deck  
\#12 - PumpBow (Archer Queen MP Variant)  
\#13 - (Evo)BomberBow  
\#14 - X-Bow Inferno Tower Swarms (2016)  
\#15 - X-Bow Evo MK Evo Snowball (2026)  
\#16 - SplashBow Hero Wizard w/ Pump (2026)

Switching the Spirits on some variants (like eSpirit and Ice Spirit on 3.0) doesn't really change a thing so they count as one in the rankings. Some deck variants switch a few cards but I didn't list them since their playstyle is almost the same.

The 2016 X-Bow Inferno Tower Swarms "deck" during the Wild West era of the game is very broad since afaik, people made different variants off it (e.g. Skarmy, Barbarians, Goblins). So much so that I just grouped them as one.

Some of these I never got to play personally but I just guesstimated how probably easy or hard they were to use during their respective eras. 

Thoughts? (If you think I missed a deck, comment it so I can add it on the list for future readers)

I tried compiling every X-Bow deck that has existed since 2016 up till now (July 2026)
