I bring you an updated version of a weird, but fun deck that I created several years ago. I like to call it “Tinder Druid” because of the general function of the deck. You’re basically building a giant tinderbox that will make the board virtually uninhabitable by minions until you’re ready to unleash walls of taunt minions upon your opponent, buffed by Branching Paths. This deck absolutely shuts down opponents trying to build a board.

It is filled with explosive minions that you can bring back with cards like Hadronox, N’zoth, and the Witching Hour/Cube combo in late game. Mulligan for cards like Loot Hoarder, Explosive Sheep, Oaken Summons, Ferocious Howl,  Juicy Psychmelon or Hadronox. Don't underestimate the importance of cards like Unstable Ghoul. Every explosive minion is meant to do chip damage on your opponent's entire board, and it has its place. All of these cards are cumulative as they die and can be brought back as a giant tinder box.

A surprisingly key card in this deck is Khartut Defender. As each successive wave of deathrattle taunt is re-summoned, Khartut will slowly dominate to become the only thing re-summoned because each time he dies, two of them die, and that increases the odds in the res pool. So, in the first few re-summons via Hadronox or the Witching Hour/Cube combo, you'll mostly tinder (explosive taunt minions) and in the late game, you’ll have a board of very sticky minions that heal you each time you re-summon them. Basically, killing off Khartut Defenders will slowly transform your tinderbox into a sticky wall of healing taunt.

This deck was dominant last week. I'm currently running into a bit of trouble with Questline Warlock, so I'm considering swapping out Swipe for Feral Rage for the armor.
