Hello there!, it's me again, with new account. So let's see this low cost deck for Druid. Previous version of this deck. Guía en Español aquí.
Mulligan for the early game cards, if you are lucky try for Innervate + 4Drop. At the very start you must play strong to keep the board as clean as posible, Mech Mages are the new cancer so, use the Faerie Dragon to clean efficiently, perhaps playing Loot Hoarder might be good too, but paladins deal very well with him. Try to keep 3 minions to be ready for Savage Roar and finish the game. Usually Zombie Chow lives for two or three turns, so trade with him as well with Piloted Shredder. Keep your spell removal in your hand and use it just when you're killing a lot of minions (2-3), Big Game Hunter must be used to kill the obnoxious Dr. Boom or early Giant, remember, you've not much time to beat control decks, keep playing minions as fast as posible.
Problems with weapons? I don't think so, Acidic Swamp Ooze help us to dodge pain (Hunters) and bad trades for any weapon (Pally), you can't waste this, try to save it for Paladin/Warrior as well Lord Jaraxxus and Doomhammer are excellent targets. Arcane Nullifier X-21 is a very good card at dodging spell removals like Fireball, Frostbolt, Hunter's Mark etc...
Try to get this cards as soon as posible, this is a budget version, so it really decreases the potential if you don't have the main cards.
- Big Game Hunter ≈ Mind Control Tech, you know, when Dr. Boom appears puts on play 3 minions, so if he has another additional, you could be lucky.
Now, if you have the key for the combo; Force of Nature, I think you should play it, take out Poison Seeds or Defender of Argus, you'll need draw power, Acolyte of Pain or Nourish could work well if you haven't Ancient of Lore. So if you have more expensive cards make the standard combo version.
- Kezan Mystic should be included if you're facing +75% Mech Mages
- Acolyte of Pain might be inclded if you're facing +75% Paladins
- Antique Healbot is here because the retard burst we see at nowadays.
- Jeeves is very dangerous, but c'mon we need serious draw power to face this meta.
- Mind Control Tech basic to control Paladin's spam and overextended opponents.
Building...
Hello, now I've included Arcane cuz is awesome against Mech Mages.
Thank you!
Hello, thanks for your comment. Yes Druid of the Claw is a very good card, but for some reason isn't as good as it was.
He mentions that you can sub BGH for Mind Control Tech in the "Substitutions" section.
Try to get a BGH ASAP
Amazing budget deck. really enjoying it
Hey thanks!
what could I take out to replace in an Ancient of Lore?
Hello, Boulderfist Ogre is ok
Hey, I haven't tried the deck yet, but do you think Harrison Jones can replace an Acidic Swamp Ooze?
Hello, most likely yes and add some draw power like Acolyte of Pain to keep the curve or Ancient of Lore, taking out Boulderfist Ogre to add 2 Lores.
I like this deck but I feel it needs more draw.
What do you think about putting some azure drakes in, and maybe replacing kel with Foe Reaper or Cenarius?
Foe Reaper 4000 is very interesting, for draw, I think x2Ancient of Lore is Ok
Great deck. I love Kel'Thuzad and Shade of Naxxramas in this deck. Has a lot of control and great card for a budget deck. I saw your combo deck and it looks good, but I was wondering on a Non budget spectral Deck with kel thuzad and the same mechanics but with better cards.
I'll make a non budget version soon, just i have to finish the tournaments that I'm attending.
Once the budget version has been achieved, how should I go about upgrading it?
This was the complete versión, I haven't upgraded to GvG.
Have you tried this deck out yet? I made a few changes to your original such as
Acidic Swamp Ooze -> Mind Control Tech
Poison Seeds -> Baron Geddon
Boulderfist Ogre -> Mech-Bear-Cat
Defender of Argus -> Acolyte of Pain
Piloted Shredder -> Force of Nature
so far 5-0
Hi, I'm attending a tournament its pretty hard for me play this or any "Spectral" at the moment, of course i'm thinking on upgrading it =), tomorrow is the second phase.
Actually, 11 but, I'm playing Rogue too.
