Hi guys!Here is Bane again. 11x legend player from italy. This month i 'm playing in ladder legend with this fun deck and i have nice results with it reaching top180. Proof:
Thanks to all for the upvotes. Gl all guyz!
Goyan'zoth guide and mulligan strategy:
General mulligan vs any decks:
Innervate,Raven Idol,Wild Growth, Barnes
General mulligan vs fast decks:
Innervate, Living Roots, Raven Idol, Wild Growth,Wrath, Feral Rage, Fandral Staghelm (if u have some good early cards),Swipe sometimes, Barnes.
General mulligan vs slow decks:
Innervate, Raven Idol, Wild Growth, Fandral Staghelm(if u have some synergies), Barnes, Nourish sometimes.
Goyan'zoth Matchup advices:
In this section, I’ll give a few quick tips on how to play in the most popular matchups.
Shaman:
Hard matchup but not impossible.Try to not die in the early turns. Hard mulligan for a good early game (Innervate,Living Roots, Raven Idol, Wild Growth, Wrath, Feral Rage,Mulch(for 7-7 shame), Fandral (with good early cards) ,sometimes swipe, Barnes.
Try to stabilize the game, think to the future turns and in which mode u can counter the shaman oppo. Try to have always an answer for the 4 mana 7-7, like Mulch or swipe+wrath. Try to clear always the board.Remember always that the first thing to do is to take advantage on the board then we can start to think to our Hp maybe with a Feral Rage.
Pirate warrior:
Hard matchup but not impossible, depend a lot on the early draws. The mulligan is the same mulligan that u have vs shamans but in this case u have to put even more attention to ur hp.
Look for Innervate, Living Roots, Raven Idol, Wild Groth, Wrath, Feral Rage(for berserker and Hp), Swipe sometimes, Barnes.
Always clear the board. If u're able to arrive alive around turn 6 with a feral rage and board advantage probably u will win.
Dragon priest:
Good matchup. Mulligan for Innervate, Raven Idol, Wild Growth, sometimes Feral Rage, Fandral if u have some good early cards, Barnes, sometimes Nourish.
This matchup is not too difficult but if the priest has a good start this can complicate the match so try to control always the board and ramp too much.
Priest has only one SWD and one entomb or two SWD so they can't resist too much to ur big minions. Put pressure and when u know they can't protect themselves no more play N'zoth and enjoy the win.
Renolock:
Normal matchup. Mulligan for Innervate,Raven Idol,Wild Growth, Mulch (for Twilight drake and Mountain Giant on turn 4),Fandral Staghelm, sometimes Nourish, Barnes. The key to win here is ramp. Put always pressure to the oppo. Try to induce ur oppo to play twisting neither before N'zoth. Hope that they don't draw their Kazakus to polymorph ur big guys.
Miracle rogue:
Bad matchup. Like usual Valeera can easily kick our ass.
BBBBBut...we can try to stop her. Mulligan for a good start. Innervate, Livin Roots(for little pirates),Raven Idol, Wild Growth, Wrath(for Si7), Feral Rage, Mulch(for a Big Edwin Van Cleef or Questing), Fandral(with good early cards), Swipe, Barnes.
Ramp,ramp,ramp. Sooner u can play ur big minions sooner u win.Try to clear all the minions that u're oppo plays.Don't be too much greedy with ur resources. Try to control the board turn by turn and to stabilize the game. Try to stay always above 16hp.
Reno mage:
Good mu. Mulligan for Innervate, Raven Idol, Wild Growth, Fandral, Nourish, Barnes.
Start to ramp and play ur big minions soon. Always put pressure on ur opponent. Try to induce ur oppo to use polymorph maybe on a Twilight Summoner or a Cairne so ur Rag,Sylvanas and Y'shaarj are safe. If u're able to ramp and play ur big minions soon and before they Kazakus probably u win.
Goyan'zoth druid Combo:
I like this part very much. Is the real reason for which i built this deck.
All little minions + Madam Goya for a big Ragnaros or Y'shaarj.
Remember always that before using the Madam u have to do some good trade with the switched minions(obviously u want that the minion stay alive).
Turn 7: u can roots and switch one sapling thanks to Madam Goya skill.
The most cool combo is this(obv very rare combo but so cool)
Play N'zoth then Madam on N'zoth for a second N'zoth in the deck.
Card replacements:
My advice is to keep the deck like it is but if u don't like something u can write in the comments and i can give u an advice on some replacements.
Hope u enjoy the deck and the guide. Gl all. Bane.
I tried this deck out for 20 games on EU ranked (arround 19 didn't play much current season)
and my overall view on the deck is fun, but with a 9-11 W/L ratio it's not really a deck to climb the ladder with in this rank atleast..
saving the deck to try it out again later on the season when I'm higher rank to see if there is any difference.
overall a nice deck, and the Goya is nice.. Giving you an extra N'zoth if needed..

I added Moat Lurker to this deck since I didn't have Twilight Summoner. Dropping that card with gives N'zoth more value by making multiples of high value cards like Syl or Cairne and lets me trigger death rattles. I just wanted your take on it in this deck.
The current meta makes this deck hard to play. That's a shame because it seems fun.
this would work better if madam didnt cost 6 mana
It doesn't offer anything, it's over costed by a ton, it has really poor stats and it's RNG can solely lose you games in case you draw a battlecry minion like N'Zoth.
An no in case you want to have fun no card is bad, even Nat Pagle is fun.
this deck got N'zoth as a win condition. After you played N'zoth if it's not dead.. swap it with another minion from your deck and have an extra N'zoth.. that's a value game instead of playing Goya on curve.
If played on turn 6, it's getting a risk / reward thing.. you can pull out better but lose the battle cry..
use it as a tool to help you win the game instead.
very nice deck and fun , I like it ;) I recomand this deck
Dont have Yshaarj, Cairne and twilight summoner
suggestions ?
Is Acidic Swamp Ooze a good replacement for Harrison Jones?
crafted golden madam goya for this better be worth it!!!
about 50% win rate. not too bad tons of fun
can Yshaarj be replaced?
Currently 12-0 rank 10 with this deck, swapped [card]Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound[/card] > Aviana because i dont have Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound But aviana is working well.
You got 39 upvotes, we demand a guide!
I really like this deck idea :D but honestly isn´t it worth to put in jade idol in every version of druid, you can´t fatique, your outvalue reno ?
In any match, that doesn't go to fatigue, Jade Idol is just a 1 mana wisp. And even in very long matches, to get a 5/5 on board, you need to draw eight Jade Idols in total (S-1-2-S-3-4-S-5) and before that the golems don't do anything meaningful. It's just much more likely, that you or your opponent win on board than the match is decided by fatigue damage.
is it worth crafting Madam Goya for this???
No, atm she's a bad minion and unless you're playing a legendary-heavy deck, it's pointless.
