In my opinion, the closest you’ll get to a “foolproof” team is one that removes as much randomness as possible from the inherent game RNG. That means:

1. Board control in the form of universal converters ( _not_ creators or exploders);
2. Giving up the turn on your terms (baiting with skulls, ideally with a mitigating or throwaway troop in the first slot);
3. No either-or mechanics in any primary troop spell effect.

The closest I’ve seen to foolproof at endgame is [Mercy / Alchemist / Hellcat / Gard’s Avatar](http://ashtender.com/gems/teams/mercy,alchemist,hellcat,gard-s-avatar?banner=dragon-s-claw), although I’m quite happy with my Forest Guardian team; it’s a skull-spam team that works around most of the typical “gotchas” of skull spam teams.

> Forest Guardian is kind of fun! A variant of Infernal King without the AoE damage, he does have the advantage of being able to self-fuel, and as a more defensive troop, can bolster a Beast team. What’s clicked for you, if anything? My favorite team thus far is a variant on the Infinite Boar Rider team without the Boar Rider: Hero / Archer\*\*\* / Mang (Assassin\*\*\* works as well) Giant Spider\* Green Seer Forest Guardian\*\*\* (though third trait is not needed) [http://ashtender.com/gems/teams/mang…](http://ashtender.com/gems/teams/mang,giant-spider,green-seer,forest-guardian?banner=forest-of-thorns)

@KrudlerTheHorse has also published a resilient control team you might be interested in trying:

I required a team with insane durability to permit me sufficient …
