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...
Boulderfist Ogre is really necessary? I mean, can i put another card instead? Maybe Sylvanas Windrunner?
This is a budget deck and includes no crafted legendaries. The idea here is to make a deck out of cards with a very low crafting cost that everyone has or that are relatively easy to get. If you have Sylvanas and feel it is better suited for the deck, then by all means, because she is a great card. Don't sell the Boulderfist Ogre short though - very efficient stats and dodges BGH, it's the yeti of 6-drops. I feel it's undervalued because it's vanilla.
One of the best budget deck I have played so far these days! Very versatile and lots of combos to make lethal! Thanks for sharing. Later I found out that having a BGH does help the deck a lot so I crafted one.
Hey, thanks! =)
my apologies
Would you consider playing Arcane Nullifier X-21 for chillwind yeti or sen'jen?
nope, i don't think that card is good
Awesome deck! Right now I'm on a 6-game win streak. I don't have any Keeper of the Grove or Defender of Argus, so I ended up replacing them with 1 Force of Nature, 1 Starfall, and 1 Mind Control Tech. I'm also considering taking out Poison Seeds since it's often a dead card when I have board control. What would you recommend replacing it with?
Hello! try with Acolyte of Pain or Spellbreaker
I would definitely say Spellbreaker, to make up for loss of silence from Keep of the Grove
why dont you run druid off the claw?
it is just a common and extremely good!
Yeah, I know he's very good but here I'm trying to have a less dead cards in hand to mulli and not adding more 5 mana minions because the aggro.
This deck is my new favourite! I got 4 wins in a row now and it's so fun to play. I'm missing some cards from ramp druid, so this is a perfect replacement. I did little chances to this tho, i swapped Boulderfist Ogre for Cenarius and one Acidic Swamp Ooze for Harrison Jones
Hey, thanks for your comment and I'm very happy to know you're succesful with this deck.
If you have all the expensive cards, just play the standard combo version. I didn't fit Piloted Sky Golem before here, most of the times he gives you a bad cost 4 minion imo.
Piloted Shredder is very good at the moment because he trades well, look for other 2 cost 4 minions like a second Chillwind Yeti and Sen'jin Shieldmasta. To include Force of Nature, just take out 1 Poison Seeds and for the Acolyte of Pain perhaps take out 1 Acidic Swamp Ooze.
Usually Poison Seeds isn't very good and is more like a dead card in the most of cases (Muster for Battle, Imp-losion, Violet Apprentice) and just usefull when you're winning and you have combo with Kel'Thuzad wich isn't very common, I'm considering seriously on take it out. Try without Defender of Argus and tell us what was the result.
Looks like a great budget druid deck :D
thank you!
Hi, I dont this that's a good idea, makes this deck more slow than it is
