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.
Completed my daily quest by using this deck to beat an aggro hunter and aggro pally. Good to see a beast deck that works.
The deck works great! Thanksssss!
seems really nice. thank you.
Made a very similar deck about three months ago. Mine was more aggro than this, but I think the similarities are stronger than the differences:
Yo yo, dudes. I made a video about this deck. It's good to see something fresh in the meta, that actually works. I comment on my plays a lot so check out my video and leave a comment or two.
You can try Jungle Panther or a Huge Toad
OR FUCKING CRAFT MAYBE? 50 FUCKIN DUST
Yea I saw you, at first I thought you were playing this deck since it had Druid of the Saber and Power of the Wild :P
GGs
id rather upvote this deck than the "scam" decks on this site who claim legend in half a day and they play on rank 15. its a fun deck that goes 50-50 maybe less but at least it doesnt claim rank 1 legend -vomits-. its nothing special either, these type of decks were experimented when tgt was out and yeah there are not that good but i bet theyre fun.
Well people usually focused on the beast synergies to much and the meta was slightly different back then, its not like super great Tier 1 or anything, but it does very decent in this meta and its something new-ish :P
druid is my favourite class and i love the beast synergy and the ramp possibilities. blizzard is pushing this archetype so eventually it will be a fully competetive deck at least in standard. i really like this deck but honestly combo is so good that you just include it no matter what druid deck you make. so i trust (i havent played it) many wins come from the combo.
why do you say that, before you make a claim you should provide reasoning to explain the claim... saying the deck is garbage tier only means to people that you didn't do well with it or didn't even try it... atm im doing very well with it at low ranks... it beats zoo, druid, secret paly is more 50.50 but it does struggle against decks like reno and dragon priest I have noticed but honestly its normal for a deck to have several counters... if you tell people why you think that maybe they wont rant at the comment like me or the creator might take the claim into consideration and change up the deck where its lacking...
Any replacement for raven idols ?
Wrath x2
How about 'dem apples?
He was on 10 hp and quit just as I was about to press prnt screen :D
What addon are you using?
