This deck is a variation of Taunt Druid for Descent Of Dragons. It works surprisingly well. Basically, you are building a giant tinderbox of explosive minions that you can bring back over and over with cards like N'Zoth, the Corruptor and Hadronox.

Use the explosive taunts combined with Explosive Sheep for board control as you get ready for Hadronox and ultimately N'Zoth, the Corruptor. In late game, you can use Witching Hour and the cube to bring back endless rounds of explosive taunts.

Try to play Hadronox before N'zoth for maximum value. 

If you've played some explosive cards, you can create an almost certain clearing of your opponent's minions anytime by simply playing N'zoth and setting up another tinderbox. With Rotten Applebaum and Khartut Defender, you'll end up gaining health each time you use Hadronox or Witching Hour/Cube and the tinderbox is triggered by you or your opponent.

There is little removal in this deck other than Naturalize and your explosive minions. As long as you mulligan for some low-cost explosive cards or Oaken Summons, you should be in good shape to remove your opponent's minions while killing enough of your deathrattle and taunt minions to begin playing Hadronox and N'zoth. At that point, board control will almost certainly be yours for the rest of the game. This deck feels a bit like playing a Mage deck with a ton of AOE removal, with a very strong late game via Witching Hour, the Cube, and Jade Idol, which is your ultimate anti-fatigue card. Note, do not play Jade Idol until you run out of cards, as it will only slow down your accumulation of combos. Play it when you're heading into fatigue.

For card draw, there is Branching Paths and one Ultimate Infestation, to get your Hadronox and a Naturalize. In a worst case scenario without Naturalize, even if it gets silenced, you can kill Hadronox off and then bring it back with Witching Hour or N'Zoth. Just watch out for Hex's and Polymorphs, as they destroy your late game.

Late game consists of Witching Hour and a Carnivorous Cube to bring back your board of taunts. 

The reason I coined the term "Tinder Druid" for this deck is because I think it best describes the function of it. Enjoy!
