Hearthpwn

Has anyone attempted to make a budget version of this deck? I've got a Flobbidinous Floop, but I don't have many of the cards here. Thinking of crafting Hadronox, but that would eat up pretty much all of my dust.

EDIT: To add further, I'm specifically thinking of something like this deck because I've opened vital cards for the deck like Witching Hour and some utilities like Juicy Psychmelon but I'm missing vital ones like Carnivorous Cube and some of the useful utilities like Ultimate Infestation and Branching Paths. How much would it hurt me if I miss out on those cards specifically? I'm also missing minions like Primordial Drake and The Lich King, but I can easily substitute those for some non-beast taunts, at least at the ranks I play at.

I'd suggest a different deck unless you're playing for fun rather than climbing. Hadronox, cube, drakes, paths and lich king are core to taunt druid.  Though the psychmelon and UI are a personal touch and optional. Cube is a hadronox activator to get max value out of witching hour and play around silence.  Drakes are much needed AOE since we can't run plague. Paths are the DIY savage roar needed in taunt druid to end games. Lich king is vital vs control

Congrats on pulling the most relevant legendary of the set though. Even if you can't use Floop here, be sure to look into if your collection can support the other druid lists :) 

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I was mostly looking at it for fun. But seeing as I'm missing some other staples, I don't think I will go ahead with a deck like this.

Nice. How is the matchup vs othet druid decks? 

Taunt and big druids are traditionally used to counter all other druid types and this is no exception

Hey NightCrawl3r: what's your success rate so far with this deck? :)

(i lose game after game - but i am also not familiar with playing taunt druid...)

82% on the first day, dropped to 70%s on the second day. After hitting a lot of zoo

I pretty much have not lost to anything other than zoo, even control mages and shamans are fine

Then I definitely need a manual to guide me :D
I went from rank 12 to rank 14 with a 90% losing rate :D (3 enemies were zoolock, i even got beat up by one wizzbang spellhunter!)

Not sure what is there to guide about this deck. Just mulligan for ramp and removal vs aggro. Don't play Biology project unless it helps you curve out

I'm currently testing out giggling inventors in the deck to combat the aggro. Annoy o trons will mess up the taunt pool but since I'm not losing against decks where that matters, I figure I wouldn't lose much more by having a few dead cards

can't tell. tried to do already like that, not playing project on turn one (unless it really helped). but yeah, got crushed many times :)

I did a few more runs now and had more success, I but I also added the 3/6 taunt for the wraths. had the feeling i could not properly fill my taunt pool

what is a good replacement for Baron Geddon?

I was thinking about Star Aligner after you hadronox this card just clears everything. I think it makes this deck a lot more powerfull

after hadronox you revive your minions, which all have >7 health (which won't trigger star aligner). I.e.... you need to trade first a bit before you can play this card. Do you really think it works??

I actually misread the card, I thought it said 3 minions with at least 7 health. well no the card is bad if thats the case. 

nightcrawler suggested furious ettin. makes sense to me...

This deck is great. I love it. Was able to make the whole deck without crafting anything :)

4 mana Hadronox is just amazing. I didn’t have baron geddon so I replaced it with gloop. I know it’s not the same but it’s fun when I do gloop + primordial drake and just refill all my mana.

You can't play DK and spreading plague in taunt druid because the token are beasts 

This deck feels absolutely amazing! I love it, thanks! :)

I like playing this deck!!! The only change I have done is to put Tyrantus for UI. I think he is very useful if you fill your board with taunts. Also using full value of Juicy Psychmelon . 

But then you resummon Tyrantus with Witching Hour instead of Hadronox.
