Deck goal and general strategy
This deck utilises two new cards from AoO set: Glowfly Swarm and Fungal Fortunes. In order to these two to work you need to keep minion pool in your deck as small as possible, hence only two legendaries: Keeper Stalladris and Archmage Vargoth. These two (especially Keeper Stalladris) are essential for this deck and non replaceable. Keeper Stalladris generates spells in your hand, which helps you to use Glowfly Swarm successfully in any stage of the game. This is kind of aggro/midrange kind of deck and should be played as such.
Basically you have two game plans: to boost Glowfly Swarm and thus gain early advantage or play standard token Druid, only with spells instead of minions and good later-game value due to Crystalsong Portal synergy with no-minion rule, Twinspells, and Choose one spells synergy with Keeper Stalladris.
On the first day of the new expansion I got from 10 bronze to diamond in a few hours winstreak with this deck, so I think it might have some potential. At least I did not encounter any better Druid archetype yet. Later on climbing the ladder became harder, as players figured out how to play DH most effectively. At the moment (8-04-2020) this deck struggles against DH (though winning is still doable), but manages to win vs everything else. I might write some more detailed strategies later, as I don't have much time to play or edit this guide ATM. If you figure out how to play it better or improve it please let me know in the comment section.
Mulligan
Mulligan is similar for most classes. Keep Glowfly Swarm as priority. If you already have Glowfly Swarm keep Fungal Fortunes as well, these two work in tandem. You can even save Fungal Fortunes solo for some slower matchups.
Another possible win-combination is Keeper Stalladris with "Choose one" cards. Try to have one of each. This way you'll gain value, keep versatile, and possibly boost Glowfly Swarm.
Do not keep boosters/finishers (like Savage Roar; Power of the Wild is fine with Keeper Stalladris as it synergises with it allows you to play 3/2 minion early on.
Generally keep low-cost tokens like Treenforcements or Dreamway Guardians. BEEEES!!! works both as removal and token generator, so it's a general keeper. Avoid late game value-generators (e.g. Soul of the Forest).
Archmage Vargoth is generally worth keeping; it's fine card, sticky and often allows you to be ahead of your opponent early. Also, this way you minimise chances of discarding it through Fungal Fortunes.
I do not see the point of keeping Swipe. Prey on your win conditions.
Card Replacements
You can switch Crystalsong Portal for two copies of Anubisath Defender. If you do so please let me know how it works, as I didn't try it yet. These cards are counterproductive for each other (as Anubisath Defender often will not let you use Crystalsong Portal) but Crystalsong Portal is an addition, and could possibly be replaced. Alternatively, you can use one Anubisath Defender and add second The Forest's Aid.
If you have any other suggestions write a comment below.

Good luck!
If you want to look at decks with good win rate your best bet is hsreplay.net there is a lot more info about which decks actually win.
look at the downvotes, people who downvotes when someone tells the true are such maggots, stop being politically correct, if a deck is crap just let people tell it, im in legend too and this deck is SO BAD, whats the rank of people commenting and downvoting? bronze in real life?
The archetype is not trash guys...Maybe a few cards in this list should be switched but that's it. Look at this list: https://hsreplay.net/decks/pp6XJxJcwoewcruuflC1cg/
It's T2 with 53% WR so it's definitely not TRASH or ASS.
0-5 with this deck at diamond 9. Hard pass.
i also won 1 out of 7. my learning curve maybe too slow, since there are guys who run it successfully.... just saying, perhaps it's not the deck
Using Fungal Fortunes i always throwing away Archmage Vargoth, and Keeper Stalladris. Game is trolling me all the time.
Sweet deck, really strong with lots of fun synergies! Played a few games with the list, check them out;
Thanks so much for sharing the deck, looking forward to seeing how spell Druid evolves as the meta progresses. Cheers!
everything is strong at low ranks ><
Hey guys,
I just tried this deck and made a showcase of it right here! I always liked token styled druid and seeing a spell token druid made me very excited! Since the deck claims to beat DHs it is the first matchup in the video. I had nice board and he could not remove it so it just finished him out of nowhere. Second one is against a druid and it was the fastest game ever.. it just shows how strong you can get in a few turns. Last one was more grindy against a priest but managed to get there too. I had a lot fun with the deck and I think it really has potential.
I hope you can enjoy the showcase and have a nice expansion everyone :)
One of the worst deck
I'm playing a similar deck right now and I'm at a 65% winrate (over 31 games). My version runs Crystal Power, Garden Gnome, Aeroponics, and both copies of Soul of the Forest and Force of Nature. In exchange, it cuts Dreamway Guardians, Keeper Stalladris, Rising Winds, Archmage Vargoth, and Blessing of the Ancients.
hey, would you mind sending me that deck string? or posting the deck?
Sure, here you go:

Deck is terrible. You go against anything other than aggro and you have bunch of useless cards in your hand that do nothing, Tried at diamond rank 5.
