Having a lot of success with this one. Plays like the old Quest druid except we're ramping up to an early Ysera, Unleashed. Look for a weak turn from your opponent to slam Ysera and start drawing. On 10 mana Ysera, Unleashed + Treenforcements gives you a huge 4/14 taunt.
Aggro: Often don't even need Ysera, just dominate the board and heal out of range with Ferocious Howl and Hidden Oasis
Control: Getting early Nourish into Ysera, Unleashed is key. Keep setting up awkward boards for a big Savage Roar
Play first: Treenforcements turn 1, into Untapped Potential turn two is ideal
On coin: Almost always go for early quest completion, keep Oasis Surger always.
Update: Added token generators plus a single copy of Savage Roar for a better early and mid-game, Mark of the Loa is very flexible on attack or defence. Removed highlander cards which were too often dead cards in hand.
Update 2: Added the new Rising Winds which is another great token card. This deck has really moved the token direction so I have added 2 x power of the wild and another savage roar. People really don't expect the double roar lethal! GLHF :)
Update 3: Ok so I took the updated list on ladder tonight, 15 wins, 1 loss to a murloc paladin with the nuts... this thing is crazy strong. Went from rank 4 to rank 1 in a few hours. Proof
Update 4: Just hit legend, lost a few times to super-aggro decks (mech pally, aggro warrior) which can pull out turn 5 lethals. Also Gala Rogues that manage to cheat stupid amounts of mana early. But if you manage to get past the early game, you can turn things around very fast. Let me know in the comments if you want a full write up! and don't forget to upvote!!
Update 5: I've been encountering a bit more aggro on ladder, so updating the list to counter it. Also been watching RumHam who has been playing a similar list in high legend. His list has Cenarius and Floop instead of the double Savage Roar. Changes are:
- 2 Treeinforcements
- 1 Mark of the Loa
- 1 Ferocious Howl
- 1 Power of the Wild
+ 2 Innervate
+ 1 Pounce
+ 2 Steel Beetle
Thanks for constantly updating this, OP!
You're welcome! Sadly my win rate is really dropping off, too many dragon hunters, mech pallys and highlander mages. Hardly seen any embiggen druids, face hunters and quest priests which are highly favoured.
just encountered this deck with my classic embiggen druid and lost. Maybe I'll give it a try =)
Hey thanks for checking it out. I've recently been trying out Sky Gen'ral Kragg which seems pretty strong. Good luck!
Winning to embiggen and currently 15-5 (75%) @ rank 15.
Cenarius has seemed a little bit overkill for me.
Hey thanks for taking a look, yeah I've had games where he gets stuck in hand. You could try another Savage Roar or BEEEES!!!
I replaced ysera with ysera but have no replacements for the floop and loti
Loti is pretty essential, Bloodmage Thalnos could work as a replacement but you will be really missing the poison hit. For Floop you could try Ancient of War or Power of the Wild
loti is waste of gold, don't craft it just for this deck... it's like same old lists with some changes.
Added two ancients of war, climbing == profit...very good deck, thank you. On a sidenote, adding token units has been quiet smart. Kudos
You're welcome, good luck with the climb :)
Any replacement for Archivist? Maybe Dragonqueen Alexstraza or regular Alexstraza? Druid of the scythe?
Edit: I should clarify that I don't think Archivist is bad, I just don't have it.
Yes it's a flexible slot, Scythe or another Bees would be better against aggro, regular Alexstraza would work well to help finish them off, though it would play a similar role to Cenarius. I've tried running Dragonqueen and it does work. Like Zeph she can be a bit awkward with early Ysera, you often end up with two dead cards until you can draw your deck. Elise could work, or a tech card like ooze, silence if the meta needs it.
