A deck using a lot of the new cards that I came up with while doing a druid quest, this deck focuses on having enough armour gain and taunts to survive against aggro (paladin/hunter/mage) while having enough late-game to beat control.

Good matchups: aggro (hunter, warlock, mage, druid, paladin unless it's hyper-aggressive paladin and you draw badly), rogue, flood shaman, control warlock

Bad matchups: jade druid, quest mage

Everything else I haven't seen, so I'm not sure.

Key card decisions: I found Fandral, Wrath, Nourish weren't accomplishing what I wanted them to, and the spellstone and branching paths were much better.

Branching paths is an amazingly flexible card; sometimes it heals for 12 against burn mage, sometimes it draws for 2 when you have no cards, and sometimes it's a savage roar that gives your spreading plague/hadronox/n'zoth/oakheart board lethal.

Oakheart is MVP for the deck if you can get there, and he's the reason I run Ixlid and giant wasp.

N'Zoth is amazing with grizzled guardian, and Hadronox just makes sense in the deck.

Basic gameplan: survive against aggro by playing as many taunts as possible until your lategame where you overwhelm them with value, and pace your threats against control. You have 3 giant lategame plays, all you need to do is reach the lategame.

The deck only has one semi-hard removal (giant wasp), two jasper spellstones, and two swipes, so it's important that you dictate the pacing against control otherwise you'll fall behind. Against aggro just play taunts and removal until they run out of stuff or you have lethal with swipe/druid of the claw/branching paths.

 

Mulligans: Keep ramp, oaken summons, and lesser jasper spellstone in every matchup. Keep tar creeper against aggro, and swipe and/or spreading plague against paladin if you have a curve.
