Introduction
Hi I'm a long time hearthstone player who plays every once in a while. Used to play alot back when shadow of naxramas and GvG was released but stopped after hitting legend with zoolock once. After that I haven't really played the ladder.this season I've returned after seeing this fun deck. Took me 2 days to hit rank 9 with it.
Hi so this is a treant druid with a bit of an unusual choice of cards simply because embiggen doesnt really have synergy with spells such as force of Nature etc. Ill post a guide soon explaining why I chose to run embiggen in this dCard Nameeck. Hope you'll enjoy it
So ill post a short guide as to why I'm running embiggen in this deck instead of power of the wild for example.
While not running buff cards like power of the wild or soul of the forest might seem like it is making this deck weaker then a regular treant druid I think that the advantages of running embiggen balance the disadvantages out(pls excuse my bad English, I'll prove read this when I have time).
Mulligan
in my opinion this card is probably one of the best cards to play during turn 1 doesn't matter whether you have coin or not. Its a 1 mana 2/2 treant that has synergy with cards suchDendrologist and [card]Aeroponics[/card]. You definitely wanna keep this card in your hand.
it's a strong turn 1/2 card to play. giving you nice momentum and most of the time forcing your opponent to trade or use clears to get rid of it(unless you play against face hunters...they well...they go face).
Keeping this card depends on what you currently have on your hand. For example if you have Coin+Aeroponics you can get some nice early momentum. it is a pretty decent card to keep but I wouldn't always keep it.
If you have this in your opening hand...well trust me your opponent will be in for a treat. it Just runs really well with cards like Faceless Corruptor and gives all your low mana minions a nice lil boost that will be annoying to deal with for most opponents forcing them to use clears they might later need to get control of the board.
Embiggen VS Power of the Wild , Blessing of the Ancients etc.
So why run Embiggen in a deck like treant druid? The answer is pretty simple cus its strong as hell. its a 0 mana card that gives all the minions in your deck 2/2 and makes them only 1 mana more expensive. This is an amazing buff and tbh it gives you alot of advantages of dealing with Wall druids for example because you wont have to use all of your treants just to clear one 6/8 with taunt and reborn. And the good thing is that this doesnt slow you down at all. You'll still have the fast momentum of playing a deck like treant druid. Now i know that there are certain situations where it could be advantageous of running cards like Soul of the Forest, Power of the Wild, etc but tbh with so many priests hanging out in the ladder atm i dont really see the point of such cards.All of it will be silenced anyway. Id rather have some early on big minions with a nice lil board of treants that can dish outsome big dmg from one card then hoping that the priest draws cards like Mass Hysteria or Plague of Death..
One of the most satisfying advantages in my opinion for example is when playingForce of Nature and then a through Embiggen buffed Anubisath Defender. This gives you a 0 mana 5/7 or 7/9 (depending on how often you have already played Embiggen). there are some rush cards that profit from it as well such asFaceless Corruptor or Mulchmuncher. Giving you the opportunity of dealing with big creatures without having to use your whole board of treants.
I'll continue working on this guide. I should have a complete guide by the end of next week.
Please feel free to share what you think of this deck. Hope you'll enjoy it
Tried your other deck as well. This deck looks fun but it seems like it relies heavily on drawing embiggen. Other then that it feels like a regular treant druid
Since there is some card draw in there chances of drawing embiggen is pretty decent. I rarely find myself in a game where I didn't get good value out of embiggen. And tbh most of the time even if you have really bad rng and don't draw embiggen you should be able to win.
Had to disenchanted 2 of my legendary to craft embiggen cus I really wanted to ry out this deck and damn it was worth it. I'm currently stuck at rank 10 but I'm winning more games then before. Most of the games that I lose are due to me not drawing embiggen. Especially against priest
I'm finding it easier to climb the ladder with embiggen in this deck. I'm currently at rank 6 with this deck. I'll post proove as soon as I'm rank 5. Going to try hitting it tonight. Its a fun deck to play. And works well even against priest.
Edit: oh and a small tip try to avoid disenchanting leggys. It just isn't worth it.
