The 12-6 and changeup are two of my favorite pitches, because their speeds are so similar that it's easy to disguise one as the other. Throw a few curveballs that start above the zone and drop down for strikes, then eventually mix in some really high change ups out of the zone and it's hard for hitters to lay off. The same strategy works if you set up the curve by throwing several low change ups in the zone, then throw the curve that drops out of the zone with 2 strikes.
