Introduction
Hello friends! Blackacre here once again. This is the hyper aggressive druid deck I have been playing in legend ranks recently. I have gotten as high as top 20 with this deck. I hope everyone enjoys seeing a new take on the druid class.
Playstyle
This is an extremely aggressive deck. You should be looking to attack face whenever possible. Your goal is to burn your opponent out of the game by using potent tempo boosts in the form of Innervate, Naturalize, etc... while occasionally refueling your hand in slower matchups with Coldlight Oracle. You will lose slower games so don't try to be a board control deck. That isn't what this deck is designed to do. You can leave the trading to your opponent. If there is enough interest I can write a full deck guide.

Any updates for Naxx? Love the deck by the way.
Competitive play? I don't know.
Like someone else stated, using this for casual Druid dailies can be one way to go for people who haven't played Druid a whole lot. That's what I've been using it for, and is really nice in that regard. You win quick, or you lose quick. Works for me, and I'm sure the opponents don't mind my quick concedes as well.
I've played this deck for around 50 matches and I have to say... it just doesn't work. You give your opponent so much firepower early on that by turn 4 you just get wiped out. You can only really beat idiots with this deck. I'll try tweaking it but I don't think it will help.
Going to delete this from my deck list now.
Here's the thing with face decks like this. You're playing a pure numbers game. I'm not being critical, but in choosing a deck like this (or the pally shockadin) you're hoping your luck of the draw is better than your opponent. You're hoping you win better than 50% of the time because you're going to lose...a lot. You're just hoping to get a few games in a row for streaks. Again, not being critical just calling it as it is. The author even says:
here's what this deck is good for. you have these cards and you got druid as your daily when druid is not your "main" deck you play. Here ya go...turn and burn to get your daily done.
I personally appreciate another deck that is using Mukula because it justifies my 1600 dust that I had to use to craft it.
Again, though...this is a numbers game...you're hoping you out draw.
as a follow-up:
When you win, it'll usually be by way of forfeit...often followed by an instant friend request...don't accept that, no good can come from that conversation.
When you lose, you're going to lose horribly.
I can usually tell by turn 4 if it's a win or not. Basically if the game is not won by turn 5/6 i just concede to get onto the next game.
Needs Soul of The Forest for when you have your opponent swamped :P
Please dont let this be a thing i cant be asked playing against more rush decks on ladder there is already so many topdecking decks out there. I know there is some skill involved but if you have the right cards theres nothing a control deck can do.
Please learn to use punctuations properly. It is difficult to read your comment.
Sorry about that
what can i replace with king mukkla cuz i got most of the cards but him
I've tried this deck and 'going for the face' pretty much every game, even with good hands you lose so easily to almost every deck :/ I don't understand the hype behind it, no offense but this deck is pretty much trash.
I removed the 2 Innervate and King Mukla and replaced them with an additional Savage Roar, Leeroy Jenkins, and a Dire Wolf Alpha and I've had a great winrate with this deck. Don't be afraid to throw out a Savage Roar as soon as you have 3 or more minions out for some insane damage then use leeroy/swipe/arcane to finish the game.
This deck has such a high number of outs, I don't mind topdecking for 3 turns. I'm hoping this deck affects the metagame.
Nice Deck.. Thanks!
If I want to play a full face deck I would rather go face hunter, frost mage or facewarrior.
This deck is shit. It relies heavily on a couple cards and stupid opponents. I just played about 20 games with this exact deck. The only people I beat were people who didn't realize what I was doing, which was about 2 people. If you are playing with someone with 3 brain cells they will just start playing cards like mad. If they have multiple taunts and you don't have naturalize you're dead. If they heal you lose. If they have more than 2 board clears you lose. Most of your minions are going to have 1-2 hp which is enough to easily wipe the board when they start piling up.
In the end, the only people you are going to kill are potatoes with this deck. Nice try.
*note* Most games I did play, I did get their health down to 15 or below. Once you start reaching 7-8 mana though, you completely fizzle and die every time.
I'll admit, I thought this was gimmicky, but it's really powerful! Props!
Why should I run this deck over aggro Rogue which has Shadowstep synergy with King Mukla and Coldlight Oracle?
Because Druid class cards synergize better.
Innervate helps you get bodies on the board faster. Savage Roar and PotW buff those bodies up. Naturalize and Swipe slice through taunts.
It's messy, and it's risky, but it works.
