Nana here to showcase his anti-aggro deck. This is not the first time I've tried to make taunt druid work. The other time I did I got to top 200 legend with it quite easily. proof
Just coached my brother to legend with this updated list. He got there with a 61% winrate. So if you are struggling to get there this final week this is the deck to go for :) hf
Let me show you how this would work:
Core cards;
I'm sure you can see the synergies without me pointing them out.
Here's a simple mulligan
Note: Don't keep Master Oakheart unless you have the needed ramp in your mulligan phase
A little in-depth mulligan against aggro or control decks, these are of the highest priority
Against Control: Keep, Master Oakheart, Nourish, Oaken Summons and Wild Growth
Against Aggro: Keep, Lesser Jasper Spellstone, Oaken Summons, Wrath, Swipe and Wild Growth
Gameplan;
Ramp up quickly with Wild Growth and Nourish, get your taunts out there and whittle your opponent down.
Later in the game look for combos like;
Hadronox now summons;
Tips Section
Against Aggro, ramp as quickly as possible and put your taunts down.
You can Drop your Hadronox into a Doomsayer if you have enough dead Taunts to deny your opponent setup time
Hadronox + Naturalize is going to win you a lot of games, you should not throw your Hadronox into a silence because you're impatient. Also don't waste your Naturalize every time you need something to disappear, you have a lot of armor for a reason
Branching Paths can give you a lethal you might not realize afterHadronox Vomits
You can put Hadronox down without naturalize if you're playing against a non-mage/non-shaman deck and cube it later. If they silence and kill it just play your Witching Hour and Cube that
That's all for now
Leave your suggestions/thoughts/questions in the comments below. Thanks
Is this deck worth crafting? Got 7k dust laying around and I dont got pretty much every tech card of this deck like Hadronox and Cube
It's not the best deck but cube is a really good craft anyways.
this deck its just too much fun in the endgame
Replacements for lk?
Sleepy Dragon or Ironbark Protector
I add tinkmaster overspark to every non-greymane deck seems good easy to counter add to warlock and it's warlock favored matchup
what do u think about adding N'Zoth, the Corruptor ?
Old God is out of standard if you haven't noticed yet.
If you see NOT ODD control warrior you must concede, don't waste your time, it is almost 0% winrate against him, because of raptors
I actually won against one on Rank 3
You know you have the tools for SEVEN Hadronoxes right? Who cares about 2 brawls.
He's saying that the beast pool that Witching Hour pulls from gets spiked by the raptors spawned by Cornered Sentry, which is true, but considering they don't have access to Brawl or Reckless Flurry, if you can use Hadronox at least once you should be able to Carnivorous Cube your other threats and and beat them the old fashioned way.
Lol, vs control warrior you have only one but often o if he uses Skulking Geist
Looks nice, I'll give it a try !
NanaKwame's variant is optimized for the rank that they are at you may need to consider making some changes to deal specifically with the aggro pallys - remove the spellstones, add wraths and Starfalls, ditch the UI. Here is what I am running and it does well if you mulligan for AOE and tar creepers/Oaken Summons
played vs very similar deck but im not sure if he had naturalize... he ramped with greedy sprite and nourish then played hadronox on turn 6... i silenced and killed it but then he used witching hour and cube... it was early so hadronox rezzed like one tar creeper and applebaum... I sapped the cube... and then lost in late game when he used the second witching hour + second cube... this time with board full of taunts like primdial drakes and shit... anyways this is such a cancer that can't be played around... another control warlock / big priest mechanic... i hate this design
You're welcome
Just logged in to give a +1, the deck is amazing!
As suggested in comments, I removed 1 Ultimate Infestation and 1 Tar Creeper and added Master Oakheart and a second Branching Paths. It has enough armor to resist the early game VS aggro, and the mid/late game is an easy win versus most decks that cannot deal with a huge board that's coming back again and again.
Tons of fun to play with, a nightmare to play against, this is the new Cubelock, this is the new meta!
This deck is disgusting. Pls delete.
I use the same deck except without Ultimate Infestation. I replace that and one Tar Creeper with 2 Starfall. For those pesky pally aggro decks. But I honestly feel like you have enough card draw without the need for Ultimate Infestation. J=
