UPDATE: Here is a standard mode version I came up with so far that is working around the classic card nerfs: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/473092-enter-beastmode-v2-standard (feel free to stop by and give any suggestions you might have).
UPDATE 2: I made a few changes to this deck to fit it more into the wild format, haven't tested the changes yet and I plan on mainly playing standard so try out the changes for yourself and see how you like them.
-1x Keeper of the Grove +1x Fandral Staghelm
-1x Force of Nature + 1x Druid of the Flame
-2x Ancient of Lore + 2x Mark of Y'Shaarj
-1x Wildwalker +1x Druid of the Fang
Hello folks, as some of you might of experienced the meta atm is really skewed up and no matter what you queue you get a counter (especially this early into the season). Earlier today I was on one of those runs and went from rank 6 back all the way to rank 9 playing all sorts of decks. So I decided to go out for a smoke and said to myself "If you are gonna keep losing all the time might as well do it trying out some new deck".
So I had an idea about making a Beast druid for a while, even had some very unsuccessful tries in the past in different type of meta. BUT to my huge surprise (I'm still not sure how) I started with a winstreak, I thought to myself "well ok, you just got lucky" and kept playing and playing and kept winning and winning up to a 18-4 score (rank 9 to rank 4) when I decided to stop and share this deck with you.
This deck has a whooping 29/30 PURE DRUID CARDS!!! Astonishing, I have never seen a deck with more than about 20-25 class cards MAX. And even the 30th card was Knight of the Wild until I realized that it only works if you have the card in your hand, so I just replaced it with Dr. Boom.
P.S. for those of you that don't know Druid of the Saber, Druid of the Flame, and Power of the Wild are counted as beasts.
Here are the updated deck stats (after 70 matches), games played on the EU ladder:
I agree that this isn't very diverse meta since I met 5 priests in a row not 30minutes before I started playing this deck but its still a nice chunk and anyway this deck was more meant to be a FUN DECK then a TOP TIER DECK.
NEW!!! Here is the second video that I promised covering the popular matchups that didn't make the cut in the first one (with also a word of gratitude to you guys at the start)
You can find the part 1 here, it is the initial winstreak I got.
Playstyle: This deck is somewhere in between aggro druid and midrange druid, you contest the board with your early game minions and then develop your midgame creatures into powerful finishes with savage roar or the full force+roar combo. So vs aggro play the early control game, but vs control play the aggressive game and try to pile up the damage as quickly as possible. Bare in mind that you don't have any card draws besides ancient of lores (at least until Mark of Y'Shaarj comes) so don't use your innervates and empty your hand on turn 3 because there is a chance you might have nothing to do the next few turns.
Replacements:
Dr. Boom - Could be replaced by Ragnaros the Firelord, 2nd Druid of the Fang, or 2nd Savage Combatant
Force of Nature - Can't really be replaced but you can try 2nd Savage Combatant
Raven Idol - Should be replaced with Wrath (someone asked)
Druid of the Flame - Can be replaced with Jungle Panther or a Huge Toad
Mulligan(in order of importance):
Innervate, Living Roots, Darnassus Aspirant, Raven Idol, Druid of the Saber, Mounted Raptor + Innervate is what you want in most matchups.
Against zoo and paladin you might consider keeping Swipe and Keeper of the Grove especially if you already have Innervate.
Against warrior you might not want to keep Living Roots
-See my two videos for matchup specific help.
As you know every deck builder needs some sort of incentive, so this will be the plan:
10+ likes I will make a quick write up about the playstyle of the deck
50+ likes I will make a list of possible replacements (those are always in high demand)
100+ likes I will make a matchup/mulligan guide
I really hope you guys enjoy the deck! Cheers!!
Thanks so much to so many people that showed enough interest in the deck to made a video for it and here are quick links to their videos.
-2x Living Roots +2x Enchanted Raven
With this we can make some crazy beginning like Enchanted Raven into Mark of Y'Shaarj into Innervate+Druid of the Fang.
Useless deck, don't waste your time.
I was running out of steam quite quickly often. What would you recon for card draw?
Maybe 1x Darnassus Aspirant 1x Keeper of the Grove for 2x Azure Drakes
Its for some great openers, if you cut them I suggest you leave at least one.
I know you have a standard version but you should update this deck now and stay with some wild cards like Dr. Boom.
Everyone is making decks for standard but I don't see any wild ones anymore...
Done ;)
Unfortunately, this deck is now nerfed with the Druid card nerfs of Ancient of Lore and Force of Nature not to mention a nerf sprinkle of Keeper of the Grove
Here is the standard mode version I am toying with that is working around the nerfs: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/473092-enter-beastmode-v2-standard-edition
I may have been a bit harsh/hastey with the deck nerf comment, but it definitely changes the mechanics of those cards in the deck (and the deck itself). Summoning 3 2/2 Treants that you can support by keeping them living past that turn could still provide the burst damage that you need next round with Savage Roar, but it's just a shame that they took 2 epic class cards and swatted them both at once. That's a bit of a tough pill to swallow. I was just getting into the Druid too and was exploring your Deck (which I quite liked) when this just came down today (I am very new to HS - 3 weeks old n00b).
Thanks for your contributions.
Sorry to hear that, you will however be able to get free dust by disenchanting them AFTER THE NERF (some guy did it now and is crying on the forums :P)
Tried this deck today, in NA servers at rank 8... 1-5!!! Gets destroyed by everything
Can we talk about idol? You usually pick a spell, right?
I know it all depends on the matchup and curve, sure, but in general, if it were tracked, what have folks ended up choosing the most?
9 out of 10 times I pick a spell. I consider minion only when I topdeck it late game and have tones of free mana and hope I pick up some big minion.
Thank you very much.
Played 10 games at rank 18. Won 3.
30% win rate. ouch
At that rank, you should be able to win with almost any deck. Obviously I can't know this, but most likely you're making incorrect gameplay decisions.

Three games, three wins, daily quest done. Thank you. Fun deck.
I swapped a Wildwalker for a Savage Combatant
