F**K CANCER... MEET
E B O L A B O Y S!
Greetings! This deck is an original creation I have been playing for over a month now - my baby, the EBOLA DRUID! It is great fun and refreshing, has ability to overwhelm pretty much any deck. (Priest is probably the hardest match-up for this deck,,, It beats the dog sh*t out of handlock however)
I am constantly changing minor things in this deck, but here is the current version. Has ability to kill turn 4, and I have done it many, many times.
UPDATE! Now turn 3 Kills are possible!
Imagine the dream boys...
First turn Innervate, Questing Adventurer, Innervate, The Coin, Undertaker, Leper Gnome. You are now left with a 6/6 Questing Adventurer a 2/3 Undertaker, and a 2/1 Leper Gnome on turn 1!
Now let's imagine the second turn you cast Power of the Wild
14 damage straight to your opponents pie hole turn 2!
Then the third turn you cast Savage Roar
T U R N T H R E E L E T H A L B O Y S !
And silly Twitch chat whines about Undertaker, HA!
As you can see in the sample pictures below, some cards were different from list because I am always changing a few cards and testing out different ideas. I encourage you to do the same!
UPDATE #1
-1 King Mukla -1 Zombie Chow
+2 Questing Adventurer
UPDATE #2
-1 Force of Nature -1 Coldlight Oracle
+1 Naturalize +1 Cult Master
UPDATE #3
-1 Naturalize -1 Cult Master -2Imp Master
+2 Abusive Sergeant +1 Arcane Golem
-1 Coldlight Oracle
*THIS UPDATE IS JUST WHAT I AM PLAYING WITH AT THE MOMENT, NOTHING WITH THIS DECK IS SET IN STONE. I CHANGE CARDS OFTEN, BUT THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN RUNNING LATELY. I FIND IMP MASTER SEEMS TOO SLOW FOR TODAY'S META (MAYBE NOT TOMORROWS META) SO I AM TOYING WITH USING 1 &2 ARCANE GOLEMS AND 2 ABUSIVE SERGEANTS. IF YOU WANT TWO ARCANES, SWAP ONE IN. ABUSIVES ARE GREAT FOR EARLY ENEMY MINION REMOVAL AND ALSO FOR BOOSTING UP QUESTING ADVENTURER CHEAPLY. I ALSO FIND CULT MASTER TOO SLOW AND RARELY USEFUL FOR DRAWING POWER. TRY DIFFERENT THINGS OUT WHAT EVER IS NEEDED FOR THE META. SOMETIMES I EVEN RUN BLACK KNIGHT IN HERE IF I SEE TOO MANY TAUNTS. BUT IT AL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU ARE ENCOUNTERING ON LADDER. ALTER AS NEEDED LIKE I DO. USE YOUR CREATIVITY AND EXPERIMENT!
Here below is a list of just some of the cards I have used with this deck, in case any of you need ideas for swapping cards & out.
Soul of the Forest Poison Seeds Cult Master Murloc Tidecaller Zombie Chow Wolfrider Harvest Golem Starfire Defender of Argus Naturalize Deathlord Dancing Swords King Mukla Jungle Panther Leeroy Jenkins The Black Knight Big Game Hunter Echoing Ooze Loatheb Cenarius Arcane Golem Raging Worgen Abusive Sergeant etc.. etc..
Experiment and let me know your results please!!!
You cant replace a card that is part of a combo
There is no good reason this deck should work, why does it work. Why am I out huntering hunters? The tears won't stop. XD
Granted you feel unclean whenever you win with this deck but, it's so insanely fun to play. Props to you sir.
I believe.
I just gave a Handlock the Ebola, but I can't figure out how to add the picture! I click on the tree thing and into the URL. I am trying to use Gyazo. Isn't there a way to simply upload a pic from your computer? I can't figure this out.
Best deck NA.
Currently on that fresh climb rank 12 to rank 8

been having a blast playing around with this deck
I'm currently running same as list above except :
-2 Imp Master -2 Force of Nature / +2 MotW +Stalagg +Feugen
Let me know how that works for you, but I would think force is a must have, I run one a lot of times to put in another card. I also use one innervate sometimes.
First off Im going to say thank you for the good laugh from your intro.... Now I see this as interesting, Though I also see counter meta decks like priest eating your alive if you dont get that massive opening.
Am I too used to ramped Druid or something? I was shut down by board clears / removals all the time.Note: I only have one Force of Nature, so I used a Soul of the Forest as a replacement, but I don't think that made too big of a difference to my games.
Let’s start with the Mulligan. My understanding is to throw away the class cards that cost 3 mana or more and try to get a strong turn 1-3 play.
I felt that there is 3 potential openings for this deck:
1. Undertaker + Deathrattle drops;
2. Knife Juggler + Haunted Creeper + Imp Master;
3. Innervate/The Coin + Questing Adventurer + play as many cards as possible.
I am able to get the 1st opening quite a few times, but the Undertaker only gets buffed to a 2/3 before my opponent removed it. Meanwhile, I was only able to get the 2nd opening once, it was against a Rogue with double Backstab, a Perdition's Blade and a SI:7 Agent.
I did not find luck in the third opening either. The Questing Adventurer only appeared once in my starting hand and I decided to give it a try. This time my opponent happened to be a Paladin, he first used an Aldor Peacekeeper on the adventurer on turn 3, and when I buffed it further with multiple drops on turn 4, he played Wild Pyromancer + Equality. After that, the disadvantage snowballed, I didn't get Loot Hoarder / Coldlight Oracle for card draw, nor was I able to get Druid of the Claw / Keeper of the Grove to go for value. :(
Besides my misfortune on the early turns. I noticed that the average length of my games is around 10 turns. That may be because when I found this deck, I took a look at the curve, figured that this is an aggro / midrange deck and played according to my experiences from similar decks (mage, hunter, shaman).
What I find is the more games I play, the more I doubt the availability of card draws in this deck.
In this deck, the sources of card draw are Loot Hoarder and Coldlight Oracle, which gives you 6 cards. If we compare this to some of the card draw mechanics other aggro/ midrange decks commonly use: Arcane Intellect, Duplicate (sort of, it gives you additional cards), Acolyte of Pain (mage specifically), Tracking, Flare, the old Starving Buzzard (R.I.P.), Cult Master, Mana Tide Totem, and Gnomish Inventor. I just felt that Druids really lack card draws costing 4 mana or less.
This problem is worse when you use Innervate. Innervate really helps you to gain the tempo by dropping more minions down on earlier turns than normal, but so often I find myself in a situation where my opponent used a board clear right after I done that, and I don't have the card draws to continue the pressure.
Anyways, after all the rambling, thanks for reading my post. Even though, I've been pretty negative, I really liked the idea of this deck and the twist it gives to Druid. I'm going to continue playing this deck tomorrow (maybe considering a slower version by adding Cult Master / Nourish) and see if it turns out better. Meanwhile, to all those who are finding success, please give me some luck and tips on how to play this deck better. :)
Yes I use both them cards often in this deck. (cult/nourish) I updated the deck post above with a list of different things that you can use. I am currently using one cult & one coldlight I believe. Deck is by no means perfect, just what was there at the time. Use what works for you. If i updated the decklist on here as much as I do my own it would change 20 times daily. LOL! Just go for what works with you or at the current meta that changes every few hours it seems.
This is my Turn 1 "Greetings":
The dream is real boys.
This deck is great for fast druid farming. I think I can get golden Druid in a week with this lol.
Hey ty for a deck,i replace adventurer for Swords 4/4 and give a card for opponent works very good
First turn Innervate, Questing Adventurer, Innervate, The Coin, Undertaker, Leper Gnome. You are now left with a 6/6 Questing Adventurer, a 2/3 Undertaker, and Leper Gnome on turn 1!
This deck is sick! (pun intended)
Yes I have tried tons of things and change it often, Updated the post above with some cards you can test out.
Any replacement for undertaker?
It's in Naxx expansion. Basically free.
I know that, and it's not free.
The deck is awesome, i've been waiting for a deck like this for ages.
But the name is totally wrong
Its not a token deck, its a BURST deck!
It should be called EBOLA BURST DRUID.
Thankyou hyfr0 for sharing it.
