Easy and fast way to legend.
Took me about 6 hours to get from Rank 8 to legend.
In regards of playstyle, it plays almost like Zoolock.
- Swarm the board
- Buff minions for favorable trades
- Sticky creatures guarantee a strong board presence
- Beware of board clears: Always keep some Deathrattle minions alive and trade before your oppoinent's class has AoE
- Finish off with Savage Roar or just through hitting his face, while you are clearing your opponent's minions.
Mulligans:
With coin: 1-drops and 2-drops are very important, just keep the minions
Innervate Living Roots Dragon Egg Echoing Ooze Haunted Creeper Nerubian Egg Mounted Raptor
Without coin: 1-drops are very important, without coin you need to curve out very well.
Against Aggro: Innervate Living Roots Dragon Egg Haunted Creeper
Against the rest: Innervate Living Roots Dragon Egg Echoing Ooze Haunted Creeper Nerubian Egg
More detailed mulligans for each class will follow if a lot of people are interested.
Hope you enjoy the deck and good luck on your road to legend!

Replacement for Dragon Egg and Mounted Raptor?
Not viable. Fun deck, nothing more.
This is very similar to "eggberts" druid deck and that one did hit legendary if I'm not mistaken. This deck should also have the same potential
No Swipe?
I have to admit that I was sceptical when I first saw this deck but so far 5-1 at rank 10.
I'm curious.
I'm not so sure about Dragon Egg as it also needs an activator, and the deck only has 4, one even only at 4 mana.
So I am considering switching it for Abusive Sergeant, to activate Nerubian Egg or gain better trade of push for lethal.
Edit: so after 15 games I'm at Rank 9 with 10-5 record. I lost vs Secradins because of secretkeeper madness. The last one had doube secretkeeper with coin, Avenge and competitive spirit. Into Muster, into Consecration. GG.
And I thought turn 6-7 losses to facehunters was bad, back in the day...
So now I'm going to look for creating more consistancy: abusive, maybe switch in a Gnomish Inventor. Because I find Cult Master always tricky. You need to draw at least 2 cards to get some value, right?
Gormak the Impaler is another card I feel that is too situational or do you consider his 4-damage only as a bonus and you always play him if possible?
Edit again: after playing some more, although this is a fun deck, I don't think you can get more than 60% win-rate out of it. You are very dependent on drawing your answers at the right time. Basically this means getting Savage Roar at the right time.
In my opinion Warlock has better tools to make swarm work: build in draw, Power Overwhelming, Soulfire, Voidcaller, Implosion and that new minion that changes to 5/5 if you have 6 other minions. Sure they lack Savage Roar, but this deck lacks the tools to start controlling the board early to mid, unless the draw works out. Once your opponent know he is fighting swarm, you're done for.
Any chance for legend proof or maybe a video?
What I mean by that is that you should mulligan aggressively for 1-drops (Innervate as well), but if you don't end up with one it's not the end of the world. If you feel like you need more 1-drops I would suggest Argent Squire or Zombie Chow(less aggressive) because this deck is all about sticking on the board after attacks.
Hey, thanks for making this deck! I've been trying to figure out the best way to put together a flood druid, and you seem to have a really solid version here. What do you think of something like Soul of the Forest in this deck? Maybe even with 2 Violet Teachers. I don't have Gormok the Impaler, so I'm trying to figure out what I could do instead.
Also, have you considered trying to fit in things like Volcanic Lumberer, Fel Reaver, or Sea Giant? Is it that this deck does not fill the board consistently enough? If that's the case, it seems like Baron Rivendare could be a pretty strong tech card. Thoughts?
The second Violet Teacher is definetly a perfect replacement for Gormok the Impaler! In general when I build this deck I didn't want to include cards that would be dead draws without board presence (exception: essential cards like Cult Master for Card Draw and Savage Roar as a finisher) so Soul of the Forest Baron Rivendare Volcanic Lumberer and Sea Giant(although I do approve of this card in this deck) are not included. Fel Reaver doesn't synergise with the deck in general because it is not sticky/doesn't develop tokens/does'nt buff and 5 mana is too much, you normally have way stornger plays on turn 5 than a 8/8 that can be BGH'd.
Well I wouldn't call it an easy path to legend, but it does look like a lot of fun. Does it have similar matchup stats to Zoolock as well?
This deck has only few bad matchups in my experience, unfortunately one of them is Secret paladin, against which I only had about a 45 Percent winrate. It crushes most control decks due to them not being able to remove your board efficiently. Midrange decks are "easy" as well, if you out-value them in the early stages of the game. So it can be very comparable to zoolock with the bonus of it not being expected since most druid decks nowadays are either midrange or Fel-Reaver-Aggro.
I might copy this into the description :P
