Hello there Hearthstoners!

I decided to create this deck list because I was only able to find 1 other budget beast druid deck, and I thought it was going a bit off of the theme (it was semi-beast semi-Gonk).

This deck should include all the essential components of a beast druid deck to be viable in lower rank play, but definitely consider upgrading to something like this if you aren't F2P: https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1198827-ultra-instinct-druid

This is my first deck on HearthPwn, so I hope you enjoy! Let me know if you have any suggestions or anything obvious I've missed, since I'm not the best player lol. I just hope this could help some F2P players (like me) build a decent beast druid deck. Please leave a like if you enjoyed this!


Upgrades/Modifications:

Definitely Oondasta. It just makes pulling out your big beasts so much easier.

Edit: I decided to add Oondasta into the deck and take out the 2 Charged Devilsaurs, because it really is important lol (and to keep the deck still semi-budget).

That being said, the best upgrade would be to include the 2 Charged Devilsaurs again. Oondasta pulling out Charged Devilsaur and Charged Devilsaur attacking face is very good damage.

Tyrantus is a great big beast too, very hard to remove. Probably not worth crafting if you don't have it, since it'll rotate out next expansion.

If you don't feel like you're pulling reliable rushes, try Amani War BearIronhide Direhorn being pulled out by Stampeding Roar is much better than Amani War Bear, because the overkill aspect to fill up your board and 2 more attack. Ironhide Direhorn doesn't have taunt though, but you might not want taunt on an overkill minion for more flexibility.

Since Ironhide Direhorn, Amani War Bear, Giant Mastodon, and Ultrasaur are all common, you can add an extra copy if you have deck slots to fill if you don't have all the spells.

Swap in/out minion damage and board cards like Swipe, Starfall, Naturalize, and Lesser Jasper Spellstone as you see fit.

Swap in/out tech cards like Mind Control Tech and Acidic Swamp Ooze as you see fit.

Ultimate Infestation for more card draw, but it might be hard to play without milling anything. Another Juicy Psychmelon would be better if you included more big beasts in your deck.

Untamed Beastmaster is great with Juicy Psychmelon and Predatory Instincts.

Crazed Alchemist for a sneaky attack/health swap on Ultrasaur to go face, which could be 28 damage if you hit Ultrasaur with Predatory Instincts! (As suggested by https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1198827-ultra-instinct-druid)


Mulligan:

I would say the mulligan is pretty intuitive, like most druid mulligans.

Always keep Wild Growth and Greedy Sprite for ramp, I personally like to keep 1 copy of Nourish if I get it.

You don't have to use Lesser Jasper Spellstone or Naturalize as part of the combo in any way, so mulligan them based on your judgement of the matchup.

I usually like to keep WrathLesser Jasper Spellstone, and Ferocious Howl in my starting hand.

Stampeding Roar and Oondasta are the stars of this deck, so if you have some nice ramp in your mulligan choices, I would keep at least one beast puller as well.
