First of all: sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language.
Was just trying out some new deck ideas with Barnes. This Deck happened ;)
Toprank with it: #60 EU (started #1000)
Here is one Highlight:

You often have pretty hard decissions if you should use Astral Communion or not - its pretty much only useful if you are able to innervate into it or if you are in a matchup vs. control without important cards on your hand. This means a lot of times you are just ramping up with Wild Growth / Nourish.
Midrange-/Facehunter is probably the worst matchup.
Check out the VoD to see how to play it :)
I'm close, I just need 15600.
had to sell my firstborn child to craft this deck. Can't seem to make it out of rank 19, feel as if this deck is too luck based.
It is definitely an all-or-nothing deck. With no Mire Keeper you have less ways to ramp and with no taunts except Soggoth, you're dead if your opponent tries to face race you or has on-curve plays (aggro/midrange shaman, tempo mage, beast druid, dragon warrior, midrange/face hunter)
Missing Deathwing, Ysarjj, Aviana, and Soggoth. Worth crafting SOLELY for this deck, or no?
If you have 6400 dust lying around gathering.. dust.. then why the hell not? seems like the hilarious highlights you get from your wins would make it worth it
I would have to dust a bunch of useless crap + probably a few thousand gold to hit it.
Let me go sell my car to pay for this deck
I like it but man if you dont draw well after your astral you just die really fast
Yep. Got Astral out on turn 2 thanks to Innervate. My next draws were Innervate, Feral Rage, Wild Growth and then finally drew Y'Shaarj. Didn't matter much. I got bursted down by a priest cuz I was doing nothing.
not worth it if it is only for barnes, lol
Very cool deck Enclase! :)
Unfortunately I have not the Y'Shaarj so I needed to change this card with Soggoth the Slitherer! The old god is a very strong card in this deck, but I was still trying to use the deck nonetheless: Ranked VOD
I had the dream in game 3 and my opponent conceded right away =/
YT-Player:
Here's a cheaper version with The Ancient One
Only played 4 games and won 3. Against tier 1 decks.
Or a bit more expensive
Astral is not needed, nor barnes for that matter.
What keeps the opponent from ignoring everything you put down and just rushing face? Traditionally astral druid has a bunch of taunts to help keep you alive. Without them, I'm not sure how you could win games aside from lucky Innervate into Astral T2.
Seriously? Good luck winning most of your games by T4-5. If that were the case then it would be the most played aggro deck in the game...
I didn't have a few of the legendaries, so I had to replace a few cards. I managed to use Barnes to pull Deathwing, Dragonlord into Ysera and Deathwing on my first play, it's so satisfying. I really need Aviana, though. Otherwise really nice deck♥
I also went wild and included a Recombobulator for a Barnes - 10 mana 1/1 into Recombobulator and I actually managed to pull it off on my third play!
Yes! Astral Communion decks are some of my favorite, even if they are a bit inconsistent. Barnes is my favorite card this week and this deck is perfect for him.
I don't have Deathwing so I replaced him with Deathwing, Dragonlord. This seems like a better choice anyway: same exact stats and it actually has synergy with Barnes and the other 2 dragons! Maybe even scarier to your opponent as a 1/1 vs a 12/12 too.
Have you thought about putting in a Naga Sea Witch or 2? I always ran 2 Witches in earlier Astral decks, and they almost always worked well. They give you an alternate way to play your heavy cards early, they act as a very unexpected virtual taunt (or your opponent might decide to leave it alive hoping you have low-mana cards), if you get one on turn 10+ you can play her and anything else you want, if Barnes pulls her on turn 4 and she (somehow) survives you can play anything on turn 5. Seems like a pretty good choice. Only problem is what to replace... any ideas? I'm thinking maybe Bite or Feral Rage.
yeaa you have 20 percent of chance getting astral. 10% chance of getting innervate astral. my starting hand is always full of fucking giant minions no spells. and just get run over by aggros and midranges. and barnes always summons yogg or soggoth
fun deck -- different from the current sterile meta
