Stats (from rank 9-5):
I will try to play this deck to Legend and keep it updated here =) currently from rank 10 to rank 5 2 stars.
General Strategy & Mulligan section:
You pretty much look for Innervate & wg depending on who u face
- against Hunters and Shaman keep deathlord aswell
- against weapon classes i keep Harisson aswell most of the time
Don´t innervate ur early Drops unless u play vs aggro and even then think about how u can curve out the best.
Hard matchups:
Grim Patron (keep their board clear and put ur big taunts hope for no execute and no otk from 30hp :) ), Oil Rogue, Zoo can be hard if they get doomguard out of deathlord (i try to silence deathlord before it dies)
even matchups:
Handlock (dont attack their face wait for ur keepers and bgh build up a board bgh their 7+ drops and smash them)
Druids - if you face a lot of Druids switch Loatheb (if you replaced it with Belcher) and put a Black knight in its not bad in other matchups either since most of them is running Belcher atleast. I would say this matchup is 50/50 whoever curves better and has a wild growth (You can make a sick comeback with mct aswell)
CTRL Warrior - This matchup is really close u have to keep their board clear Harrison their deathsbite and hope they dont draw their executes& ss too early. u can use Druid of the Claw in charge if they have armor and you are expecting beeing shieldslammed. Don´t run into a value Brawl!
Paladin - same as CTRL warrior dont give them too much equa conc value if you already have a board. And this matchup is easy if u have 1-3 big minions out he cant deal with.
Easy Matchups:
Hunter any kind of even if they should get a highmane from deathlord i managed to go 13-1 against Hunters. Face Hunter is easier with deathlords
Tempo Mage- safe zombie chow for mirror entity mct is mvp in this matchup clear their flamewaker with swipe and wrath hero power and put ur big taunts.
Priest- just build up a board lightbomb doesnt do much since most of ur minions have more health than attack dmg.
-------------------------------
I have vods aswell but gotta find out how to upload it here first.
v1 change
+ sylvanas + harisson
- Belcher & Cairne
v1.2 change
- Belcher
+ Loatheb
was facing some Rogue and the aggro matchup was good enough.
i give the Rogue matchup up and make other Matchups better so i like Belcher more
credit goes to Matt_Sparks
credit goes to Khristophesaurus : - apart from some mistakes (mctech and playing wild growth before chrommagus it gives a good insight into the deck)
Just to let everyone know that turn 10 Chromaggus + WG + Excess mana gives you 2 copies of 1 card.
Still, I dont really see the point of chrom in this deck. He always dies, and drew no extra cards if you played on curve and only 1 more if you played on turn 10. You have KT - Sneeds, Ysera or Cenarius would be way better imho.
In any case, gz on legend and thanks for posting the idea of deathlords - i never tried it with druid and am glad to hear it works.
Still - what can you do when Deathlord summons a big minion? You have no Hard removal like equality, hex and the like (not counting naturalize).
You can replace it with Kezan Mystic if you meet a lot of hunters / mages.
13-1 against hunter, I'm guessing you had 2x deathlord and 1x zombie chow in your opening hand in 13 of those 14 games ;)
In other words, you started with zombie chow and 2 deathlords
In my humble opinion, this deck is kind of slow for the current meta at lower (around lvl10) levels. Got crushed almost every time before I can even do anything. Deathlords get removed easily by almost any other class. Of course, this deck shines when you get innervates and wild growths in the beginning, but just any other Druid deck benefits from these cards the same.
I guess this deck is good at higher levels, but for me it simply did not work. I have quickly regained all the levels I lost with this deck with my other Druid deck (that has a lot of taunts). Maybe I just do not udnerstand what's the super trick of this deck, as Chromaggus does not seem to be it.
Lmfao I love these types of comments. You have to be lying about that many losses, otherwise you are just terrible at this game and probably swing face whenever possible.
Druid is a slow class and always has been. Once druid has board you usually never lose it and always win. Deathlords against zoo is pretty much insta win. azure drake and swipe clears tons. I played in casual and lost twice in 9 games one loss was for crap mulligan and the other was to a priest who double resurrected a hungry dragon and i could not come back and rightfully so the rng was against me. Druid is an overall very powerful class and with aggro heavy decks the taunts give you a substantial advantage. There is no way you lost 22 games in a row and if you did you should work on the basics. You can reach legend with any deck that is played halfway decent it might just take you longer. Legend is nothing more than time and rng thrown in to make it take even more time. Too bad once you hit legend and get your cardback there really isnt any reason to ever do it again. This deck is just fun because it can stall so long and if played right you get to use KT and chromaggus abilities which are always cool. A mage let me fatigue him to death while i removed his entire deck and left him with one hp so i could watch him die on the turn pass. I had a full hand of 10 cards and was milling myself before he died but the mill never ate through my armor. KT is just insane and one of the more fun cards in the entire game. I know i garner hate because as with all my decks this deck is completely golden as well......bling ftw
I like druid class and I wanted to try something new with druid. And I found this deck :)
Works pretty good in this meta! 6-1 right now.
He's Dr. Balanced, not just Mr.! Mind you..
Your use of "ur" and "u" is so incredibly irritating, please revise your typing. It's also Ironic that you hit rank one and legend 47 with the same board, hand, and system time. So basically you hit rank one, waited twelve hours and then hit legendary 47 with the same board, same hand, same system time, and had the same number of friends online when you hit that rank. Seems legit.
How stupid you are for a guy named "Think First"... please apply to yourself man!
Nice deck, thank you!
Deathlord is actually a good anti-aggro card, I like it, as well as Zombie Chow.
I'd probably get rid of Mind Control Tech though. Imo this card looks good on paper but it isn't so effective after all. Maybe it'd make more sense to add the 2nd Azure Drake instead?
If you want to sub MCT for something I would say multipurpose Piloted Shredderwould be the best one.
Currently I'm thinking about switching Zombie Chow for something midgamish, because I don't really feel the need of zombie with 2 Deathlord
Well, I guess it depends if you face more or less aggro decks. I'll keep Zombie Chow for now just because there're too many FH on ranks 18-10.
Mctech - just because it's too situational
Only 4 drops are swipe and keeper, after turn 2 wild growth, is it wise to just play out keeper to use mana efficiently? I usually never get good curve playing this deck.
For a Chromaggus druid Chromaggus was too much of a dead weight for more than 20 games.
But I'm honestly surprised about Deathlord's performance, especially with double bgh and mct.
Oh I thought someone was trolling me when I vsed this deck. Was playing Shaman I wrecked him.
I really enjoy this deck!
Currently at rank 15 and going through a crazy shifting meta.
Check out my stream, I am live with this deck.

This is a fun deck, and I have some success with it...but the Deathlords can be a huge problem early in games. When you have bad draws/starts, and forced to use a Deathlord at turn 3/4 it can be game over. Warriors and Paladins come to mind here. One game, the Paladin got Tirion Fordring, and I was unable to recover from that. Also, same game the Paladin got a 7/4 stealth minion from my other Deathlord lol Game was over after and I had no other minions to play in hand.
Two back-to-back turns I got very unlucky, and then warriors when kill the Deathlords pretty fast too, and I really don't know if I like the card really. If you get good starts to your game, and not forced to use them early on, maybe they are better in the late game.
But when I do get good starts, this deck is a lot of fun but I'm not sold on the Deathlords. They tend to cost you the game (early) more than help you out it seems
