Here is the deck of the 2nd place of Insomnia TrueSilver Championship III - Xixo.
He played well by this deck on the final day, but not in the main game of tournament.
Anyway it is a strong deck.
Win conditions:
1. Malygos + 2x Moonfire + 2x Living Roots = 26 dmg (you should reduce cost of at least one card Malygos or Roots to cast all in one turn).
2. 2x Arcane Giant can win many matchups after Big Game Hunter became 5 mana cost.
3. If nothing works we have Yogg-Saron, Hope's End.
Strategy:
It is a fast deck. We need to draw, to draw and to draw again. We should find our "Win condition №1" and reduce its cost with Emperor Thaurissan.
Gadgetzan Auctioneer play like in Miracle Rogue, because we have a lot of cheap spells. Also the coin has more value for this deck.
Mulligan:
1. Innervate. If you have it, you can keep Nourish or Mire Keeper to gain more mana crystals.
2. Wild Growth.
3. Wrath
4. Swipe vs Warlocks
5. May be Mire Keeper + coin, depends on opponent.
Attention!
We have no Mulch here, so if we need to remove something Big, we should find it with Raven Idol.
I don't think that we can do any replacements, because we can lost our temp.
Don't forget to play Fandral Staghelm in the right time and right place. Remember, that he is more stronger after Emperor Thaurissan and we can make several combos in one turn.
And in the end of writeup my favourite game Xixo's Maly Druid vs Ostkaka's Ramp Druid.
Have 7-2 with Shamans, 3-0 vs Warlocks.
My nightmare is Hunter. 2-6, but 3 of them were lethal just for 0 hp or I was 1 dmg off.
If Shamans caught a Gold Fish any deck can't do nothing.
There's almost no deck that can survive Zoo or aggro shaman with the perfect draw. Still this deck with proper draw can deal with it in return. It is very important to get some ramp as the druid player so you want to mulligan hard. Rarely does this deck just stomp away on someone and it plays from behind quite a bit so you should be used to it. All in all it's a solid deck for druid which struggles to clear the board as easily as the other classes do.
you would lose a vast majority of the deck's value.
