Hey guys. Since my Chinese friend told me there is a Druid deck which is very popular on CN server. But I never seen anybody play this deck on US server before.
Treenewbee, the creator of this deck, acheves TOP1 legend by using this deck on CN server. Than much more Chinese guys begin to try it and it works pretty good.
So I decide to share this amazing deck to you guys.
The orgin source link: [http://bbs.ngacn.cc/read.php?tid=9389699&_ff=422][http://bbs.ngacn.cc/read.php?tid=9389699&_ff=422]
And here is a Teaching Video created by Treenewbee. In this video he plays from Rank 9 to Legend AND ONLY LOSES ONE GAME. [http://www.iqiyi.com/w_19rt2o0syl.html]
Now let me translate some tips from Treenewbee.
First of all, this deck is really really really hard to use. You have so many things need to make chioces, every poor choice might lead you lose the game. This is not an OTK deck, and not a tipical miracle deck. You must have totally different tactics when vs. different rival.
If you are looking for such a deck which is ideal for beginners, this deck might be a frustrating choice. But if your favorit ones is challenging decks, like miracle rogue or frozen mage, I promise you will enjoy it.
>>Key to some cards<<
>>Moonfire and Living Roots<< Combo with Bloodmage Thalnos to kill messy creatures, with Gadgetzan Auctioneer to draw cards and with Malygos to end the game. Don't only wait for Malygos.
>>Bloodmage Thalnos<< Sometimes Bloodmage Thalnos Swipe combo is the best or even only way to beat some decks like ZooWarlock, coz they have so many creatures with 2 HP.
>>Feral Rage<< Gain 8 HP when vs aggro deck or frozen mage. And also there are so many messy creatures with 4HP this patch, Such as Totem Golem, Flamewaker, Frothing Berserker and Imp Gang Boss, this card can kill them easily. Also can be used to end the game.
>>Fandral Staghelm<< His greatest contribution is being a TAUNT and disrupt your opponent's tempo. For instance, when you play vs hunter, play him at 5-mana, and your opponent will not dare to play Savannah Highmane at 6-mana.
>>Raven Idol<< 80% of time, just discover a spell. Find your urgent need first. Than you can keep the spell which can give you more armor when you play vs aggro deck or frozen mage. Find AOE when you play vs zoowarlock or midrange shaman. Find Malygos combo spell, Like Moonfire Living Roots or Innervate, when play vs N'thoz or contral deck(except contral warrior). Find Innervate or Wild Growth when play vs tempo deck at the early game. Also you can find some HQ creatures when play vs contral warrior or midrange hunter.
>>Druid of the Claw<< Very flexible card. This card coud protect your face when play vs aggro decks, deal with some fatal creatures like Flamewaker or Frothing Berserker. Also could help you to end the game with 4 attack charge. Don't change it to Violet Teacher, it's very unworthy if you expend your lowmana spells just want to combo with her.
>>Baron Geddon<< This card could raise the winrate for 5% while playing vs zoowarlock or shaman. Also if you gain some mana crystals at the early game, and you play him at 7-mana turn. Many rivals can't easily wipe him off, such as warrior or druid, and than you get a big adventage.
>>Nourish<< This card is very important for this deck. Sometimes draw 3 cards can bring you victory or postpone your death. Especiallly you gain some crystals at the early game and play it at 5mana turn, you could have much more choices after that. But the time you use this card is very very important, wrong time to use ,and you will die very fast. By the way, don't change it to Azure Drake, sometime it does nothing help that you only draw one card and summon a 44. It works not very good after I try it.
>>Mulch<< First of all, you can keep it at the begining but DON'T try to find it coz you only have one. You can play this card to wipe Flamewreathed Faceless, or other bg creatures. If need you can just play it to kill some creatures which not big, and don't worry about its negetive effect. For exsample, when you play vs miracle rogue, just kill her Tomb Pillager or Azure Drake and don't keep it in hand, in this caes, prevent her tempo is more important. By the way, don't replace it to Naturalize. This druid deck is not very worry about his mana at the middle game (does not as same as frozen mage), 2 mana does not have a obvious advantage when you exactly want to wipe some big creature off. Another reason is, your rival draw two cards, that's a very very big negetive effect, but Mulch just give him/her a random creature, in most case, it's not a high quality creature which means you can put it in the dominant decks. So Mulch always works better.
>>Yogg-Saron, Hope's End<< Play this card when you have a huge disadvantage. Or you want to play Malygos (eg. you have wasted rogue's two Saps etc.), but your rival has lots of creatures on the field, just play it. It work very good if you already play 10+ spells in the early game. Notice 50.5% of spells only have positive effect, other spells like Fireball have more chance to attack your rival‘s creatures coz he has more creatures on the field. Yogg gives you a chance to win in some losing games, it's pretty insane.
>>Strategy vs different decks<<
>>vs Tempo Warrior (50% winrate)<< Playing Wrath to deal with Acolyte of Pain. Playing Fandral Staghelm and Druid of the Claw to waste his Execute if possible. If he let your Ragnaros the Firelord or Malygos alive for more than one turn, you will win the game.
>>vs Contral Warrior (40% winrate)<< DON'T WAITING FOR Malygos and his combo. You will lose the game. Using your creatures to reduce his armor and if he can't easily play Shield Slam with high armor. You could use your creatures attack him and win. But if not, you will posibilly die.
>>vs Tempo Mage (60% winrate)<< Playing Wrath to deal with Sorcerer's Apprentice and playing Mulch or Feral Rage to deal with Flamewaker. She's not very easy to kill your 12HP Malygos. In general, you have a lot of advantages.
>>vs Frosen Mage (65% winrate)<< You have 16 extra armor with Feral Rage. And you can find more extra armor from Raven Idol. And most of the time she can't kill your Ragnaros the Firelord or Malygos, frosening this two guys does nothing help.
>>vs N‘Zoth Paladin (75% winrate)<< Just waiting for Emperor Thaurissan and Malygos and win.
>>vs N‘Zoth Priest (75% winrate)<< Same as vs paladin. Further more you have so many 4-attack creatures and could make him crazy.
>>vs Midrange Hunter (40% winrate)<< Very hard game. Striving for creature advantage is the only way to win. If you lose the tempo, you lose the game. If you play Mire Keeper (without using Innervate at 2-mana turn), don't gain mana crystal, just summon a 22.
>>vs Zoo Warlock (30% winrate)<< Hardest game. Praying for your Bloodmage Thalnos & Swipe combo and Baron Geddon come at the right time. And if finally you can play Yogg-Saron, Hope's End at a healthy HP, you have chance to win.
>>vs Reno Warlock (70% winrate)<< Same as vs N'Zoth deck. Using Mulch to wipe his big creatures off.
>>vs Aggro Shaman (40% winrate)<< Find more armor by Raven Idol. Don't keep your cards in the hand or you will die very fast. Sometimes Yogg-Saron, Hope's End could bring you victory.
>>vs Midrange Shaman (55% winrate)<< Same as vs Tempo warrior. But he can not draw many card, so you can do better. Don't use Bloodmage Thalnos without Swipe, that's your strongest and only AOE. Playing Mulch to wipe his Thunder Bluff Valiant or Thing from Below off.
>>vs Druid (60% winrate)<< Each type of druid could not kill your big creatures. Just keep Mulch to wipe his big creatures off and could win. but if you can not stop his creatures during the early game, you will posibilly die.
>>vs Miracle Rogue (50% winrate)<< To find the card which could gain mana crystle at the early game. Try to waste her Sap is the key to win. Don't hate to use Mulch, just use it. If she can't kill or sap your Malygos, you will win the game. Anyway it's a balance-of-power game.
>>Mulligan<<
>>vs Worrior<< Try your best to find Innervate, Wild Growth and Mire Keeper. If already have you can keep Nourish. Also can keep Wrath to deal with Acolyte of Pain.
>>vs Priest<< Same as vs Worrior. Keep Wrath to deal with Northshire Cleric.
>>vs Shaman<< Each one is okay: Innervate, Wild Growth, Mire Keeper, Bloodmage Thalnos, Swipe and Mulch(to kill his Flamewreathed Faceless, don't try to find Mulch specially).
>>vs Mage<< Find Wrath or Living Roots to kill Sorcerer's Apprentice, or you will die.
>>vs Hunter<< Try to find Living Roots and you can get two 11 creatures on the first turn, it's pretty good to againest hunter. Also can keep Innervate, Wild Growth and Mire Keeper if you already have Living Roots.
>>vs Warlock<< Try to find Bloodmage Thalnos and Swipe. You can keep Innervate, Wild Growth, Mire Keeper and Mulch, but don't try to find them.
>>vs Paladin<< Try to find Innervate, Wild Growth and Mire Keeper. You can keep a Swipe if you think he could be aggro paladin. Also can keep Nourish but don't try to find it.
>>vs Druid<< Try best to find Innervate, Wild Growth, Mire Keeper and Nourish. Also can keep Mulch but don't try to find it.
>>vs Rogue<< Try best to find Innervate, Wild Growth, Mire Keeper and Nourish, especially Nourish. If you already have one of them, you can keep Emperor Thaurissan.
Thank you for reading. And apologize for my poor English. :)
Im curious how good Starfall would be in this type of deck. Simply cause I like the card :')
You can find Starfall with Raven Idol, but generally the match-up it's good against is like Zoo. Everyone else has 3~4 HP minions making it pretty much a useless card, however if it's one of the choices for Raven Idol and you don't get swipe or something better it's not a bad pick up. Usually will just kill 1 minion though.
thanks!
the deck seems realy funny but i am missing some legenderies should i go first for ragnaros or fendral?
i play miracle malygos and its very cool btw
Rag should be the first lego that everybody crafts. You can plug Rag into virtually any deck imaginable and win games with him. The only card that is better in such a wide variety of decks and situations is Dr. Boom.
oke thank u mate i'll craft rag first :P and wild pyro as a replace for baron geddon is actually good btw :)
This is one of the most fun and effective decks I've ever played. Once you learn to play this deck you have a good chance against any deck type. My stats are around 50% against shaman/zoolock decks, but heavily in my favor against other classes. I'm riding this one all season long. I love the fact that you can play so many different styles and come back from so far behind, and you've always got Yogg for a hail mary.
The reason this works on CN server is that their meta is entirely different. They play so many niche/weird decks there at every rank, give the server a try it's a blast. That said, this deck won't dare well at all on NA or EU servers where aggro/midrange runs rampant and this deck just gets ran over the majority of the time. But it will be fun nontheless just don't try serious ranking with it.
This is a excessively blind guess, I don't know what are your references. It seems the same on CN server -- aggro and midrange suffusing, rarely seeing weird decks -- since I spectated my Chinese roommate playing on CN server today for couple of hours.
Firstly, DON'T get big headed any more. We have already lost EU-vs-CN tournament last month. And you're still thinking it's such a server people mostly playing weird decks in it?
Secondly, DON'T draw a conclusion before you investigate it carefully. You should ask your Chinese friends or go to spectate Chinese broadcasters playing, and then you are not going to be prejudiced.
Finally, DON'T make excuses for your weak. I went 18-10 at legend rank last week. I can bear the blame say, this deck is a entirely VIABLE and RELIABLE RANK deck. It works bad on you, just because of this deck is very hard to master. Look at miracle rogue, they are almost the same. Both of them are weak to face aggro deck, and according to what you said, miracle rogue is not a viable rank deck because aggro runs rampant on EU/NA server right?
tried this deck last night. Worked very well (NA).
Went from rank 11 to rank 7.
The statistic of 22 milion games from May 23rd to May 29th on CN server. Looks like the same from NA.
Excuse my ellipsis, I mean I played this maly druid deck and went 18-10 on legend rank. Who said I won't get far? You couldn't do well doesn't mean others could not sir.
Violet Teacher and pyro both are okay.
I have no clue what I'm doing with this deck...but I know I love it
In the video he uses 2 auctioneers
Yeah, but than he changed the deck, he thought 2 auctioneers sometimes not useful.
So I'm 11-12 (48% WR), and the deck is nothing more than a fun deck but nowhere near competitive. I've lost a ton of games to my own Yogg, won a ton with my own Yogg, and sometimes win with Maly. A lot of awkward situations arise such as having to drop Yogg or bust, but then you realize you only played 5/6 spells and it's just not enough. Maybe I'm playing the deck wrong, but I'm losing about as much as I'm winning and haven't progressed at all.
