xBlyzes has taken this deck to the top of the EU Ladder peaking at Rank 2 LEGEND with this version of Ramp Druid. A lot of lists have been VERY GREEDY with their lists, using cards like C'thun and Y'sharrj, but thanks to the innovation of deck builder Blastoise, we slapped some good cards in this deck, and we've got a top tier competitors that can go toe-to-toe with Thief Rogues!

Mulligan:
Capture Coldtooth Mine, Resizing Pouch, Moonlit Guidance, Lightning Bloom, Overgrowth, Wildheart Guff (only with Bloom or Coldtooth Mine)
Gameplan:
The main win con of this deck is to quickly ramp out Malygos the Spellweaver. Your mulligan and early turns should be attempting their best to set up Malygos into Ironbark to build a solid 5/15 defense that almost no deck can deal. It's possible to do some of these combos as early as TURN 5.
Win Cons:
Other ways you can set up wins is to Ironbark minions out of Cenarion Ward to give you a solid amount of life and a guaranteed Taunt minion.
Germination is INSANE in this deck to give you huge Forest Warden Omu mana cheat turns. (Setting up Omu into Overgrowth is disgusting).
Abominable Lieutenant can solo win games if not dealt with on time, and can help you win your favorable match ups, such as Paladin. (1 seems perfect, 2 copies seems too greedy)
Ivus, the Forest Lordi s fantastic against any deck for his flexibility for being an early game Taunt/Rush minion, or a late game beat stick, especially Rogue post Shadowcrafter Scabbs proc.
Lastly, 8 drops off Cenarion Ward are still fantastic and can outright win you games. Armor is key against the current meta, and the large minions that you can make into guaranteed taunts or combo Germination into makes Cenarion Ward so good in this deck.
Tips:
This isn't law, but you mainly want to use Resizing Pouches in the early game to find [deck]Lightning Bloom[/deck]s. There are times you want to search for 10 drops, or go for a Hail Mary Discover roll (check out the video to see a sick example!) but the main goal is to get Maly played ASAP. Resizing Pouch can help you with this gameplan.
Don't keep Nature Studies in the mulligan. It usually just slows you down because you're limiting when you will get your ramp.
Keeping Wildheart Guff can be a bit punishing against the wrong match ups, but if you have a Lightning Bloom or Capture Coldtooth Mine in hand, you can easily set up a Turn 3 Guff, which is very powerful. I don't always keep Guff in my mulligan, but it can be correct some of the time.
If you have any questions about the deck, feel free to let me know! I'm climbing Top 300 LEGEND myself with this list, and have about a 60% WR over 40 games. I think this deck has a ton of potential.

How about Mozaki Mage?
If a minion eaten by abominable lieutenant, is it still in resurect pool?
Yeah
Just started using this deck and got to say its rather fun to see Ivus duplcated at a 31 damage makes me cackle like a mad man!
I've played like 10 games so far with this deck I wasn't able to draw Guff for 20 cards drawn in all of them. Feels like this deck hates me.
I love it!! Was looking for something similar since Kiblers C´Thun, wondering how powerful cards like Malygos, Omu or Anacomdra might fit in.. Thank you, I´m having loads of fun!! ^^
How does this deck fare against Face Hunter and Quest Warrior, Shaman?
hi! is Forest Warden Omu replaceable?
Replaced it with C'Thun and it seems to work well. =)
