Clash Royale decks without Evolutions
How to browse ranked Clash Royale decks that do not use Evolutions — filters on DeckBeacon, copy-deck, and what you still set by hand.
Not everyone has Evolutions unlocked, and not everyone wants to play them. A ranked list that assumes three Evolved cards is a brick if you copy it into a collection that still has the base versions. DeckBeacon can restrict the snapshot to lists whose Evolution slot is empty.
This is a filter on the ranked catalog, not a second made-up tier list. The decks are still Path of Legends samples. They still have a win condition. They may still use a Champion or a non-default Tower Troop.
How to filter
On /decks, set the Evolution count to none (the same control the native app uses). The query language is shared with the Flutter client on purpose: changing one without the other is how the products drift.
Hero-form cards are not Evolutions. A list with a Hero and no Evolution should still appear when Evolution count is zero. If that surprises you, read Hero form — the battle log uses one bitmask for both, and we decode it instead of collapsing them.
Copying still has a form gap if Heroes are present
The official copy link never carries Evolution or Hero. A zero-Evolution deck with a Hero still needs that Hero set in-game after import. The row and the deck page will say so. Set forms after copying.
If you also want no Champions, exclude them with the card filter. There is no "beginner bit" in the catalog; own-what-you-play is a filter you apply.
Why these lists are not "worse"
Evolution is a power feature, not a morality feature. In a given snapshot, unevolved lists can rate well if the sample's players are winning with them. They can also be under-represented because the leaderboard is Evolution-heavy. Usage will tell you which. Rating (Wilson, 0–100) will tell you which of the unevolved lists actually won decisive games. Dash means not enough games — Wilson Rating.
