Whats up guys!
Rank 10 to 5 with 80% winrate!
Today i discovered that the "Token Druid" isn't dead yet! Of course innervate is not playable anymore but i figured out a decklist that brought me a amazing winrate of 80%! Went 16-4 from rank 10 to 5 within around one hour! That's the reason i need to share this amazing decklist with you guys!

Why this deck?
Token druid has been super good before the nerf of innervate. After the nerf it felt dead, but it isn't. Since there are a lot of Rogues around by now this deck performs really well. Priest has always been the biggest fear of Token Druid, but since Rogues beat Priests there are not many Priests around. 6-1 against Rogue is really good in this meta. I even won games where my opponent played Prince Keleseth twice in turn 2!
Mulligan:
Always mulligan for: Snowflipper Penguin, Bloodsail Crosair,Enchanted Raven, Fire Fly, Druid of the Swarm, Golakka Crawler, Mark of the Lotus.
Matchups:
Priest 1-1
Priest is the worst matchup you could get besides Taunt warrior i guess. There is not much you can do. Do not try to play around board clears since you can not get enought tempo if you do so. If they are able to remove your board you lost anyway. Just go ALL IN!
Rogue 6-1
One of the best matchups. Do not fear Prince Keleseth! If you get early tempo you can win easily! They only have Backstab and SI:7 Agent to counter your board. Make sure to go for 3 health on your minions. Use Deathspeaker for smart trades. Living Mana is OP against rogues aswell!
Druid 5-0
Ezpz. Only Wrath and Swipe could come your way. Getting a early board with only 2-3 low minions can be the key. Bringing them out of range before they hit turn 4 with Swipe is important tho! Most of them don't even run Spreading Plague anymore so don't fear that card too much! You got this!
Shaman 2-1
This can be a difficult matchup. Try playing around Maelstorm Portal and Jade Claws, you really don't want to end up losing the board. Bittertide Hydra is good to make pressure. If they draw into devolve you are fu**** so i recommend keeping at least one buff to rebuff a devolved board.
Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Warlock
Since i already listed the most common matchups ill get those together here. Only faced one of those decks so its really not something you should concentrate too much. Always go for board pressure. Mage is tricky because of the ton of heavy boardclears if they do play control mage. Hunter, Paladin and Warlock (Mostly Zoo) is just about the board control since they do not even run boardclears.
Warrior? No clue. Haven't seen a warrior in ages.
Card Choices:
Snowflipper Penguin: Since we lost innervate this dude is amazing to get tempo since he is just costing 0 mana. You will see what i mean if you do play this deck!
Bloodsail Crosair: Easy Patches pull. Good to remove Jade Claws and Rogue weapons. Amazing tempo card.
Enchanted Raven: 2/2 beast for 1 mana? GET IN MY DECK!
Fire Fly: Really good value with our buffs. Buffed ones it's a 2/3 which is hard to remove for any class.
Mark of the Lotus, Mark of Y'Shaarj, Power of the Wild: Thats the "Core" of the token Druid. Buffs are amazing since we can spam the board so easily.
Dire Wolf Alpha: I really like this guy. The 2 extra damage can change a game if you trade wisely and this guy is always something your opponent really wants to remove.
Druid of the Swarm: Always go for the 1/5 taunt. Really good card to coin out. Amazing with Mark of Y'Shaarj.
Golakka Crawler: Really Really REALLY good against Rogues. Beats their Patches and Swashburglar easily. 3/4 in turn 2 is mostly overkill for them.
Deathspeaker: Its kind of a tech card. I myself really started to like this card since you have to do a lot of trades with this type of deck. After trading without losing a minion this is still a 2/4 body which is quite good.
Savage Roar: Our finisher! Nothing more to say about it.
Tar Creeper: A good taunt. Makes it easy to build a board with having Tar Creeper protecting it.
Bittertide Hydra: Bittertide Hydra is so strong! Face is the place mh? Gives you a lot of pressure.
Druid of the Claw: This guy is amazing, depending on the situation a 4/4 charge can close the game or a 4/6 taunt can protect your board!
Living Mana: Well this card is one of the strongest spells in the game. Often finishes opponets just by playing it!
Patches the Pirate: Well you simply run Patches since Bloodsail Crosair pulls it out of your deck. 1 mana 1/2 and 1/1 charge is amazing, even better with the ton of buffs we have.

That was the point.
Thoughts on
-1x Tar Creeper, -1x Deathspeaker, +2x Crypt Lord
-1x Druid of the Claw, +1x Spellbreaker/Crazed Alchemist
?
I actually updated the list now. That's the list I am playing right now
Hey, is there something i could do to be more successful against rouges? They beat the crap outta this deck with kele shadowstep
my winrate against rogues is nearly 90%. it's just the thing that you really really need tempo. And pray they don't have double backstage in hand. Turn 5 living mana is super strong aswell
Cobolt is better against other aggro decks aka, the mirror, zoolock, tempo rogue, and midrange hunter. However, bittertide absolutely destroys Jade druid as well as Rakazus priest because of it's larger hp total. If you are facing loads of early game decks feel free to switch over ^.^
bittertide might be bad against druid but not against priest because it is a dragon.
ohh sorry I meant Cobalt scalebane lol.
dang, i just made a beast and dragon hunter deck it would fit right in to . . . .
what about menageric warden?
You should really try out Evolving Spores in the deck. With only 2 Savage Roar as finishers, you will often have trouble finding it in time. Evolving Spores can give you +3 attack or windfury. Since you should have the board by turn 4, you'll be able to seal the deal right there.
I really dislike the Living Mana in the deck as it is the most overrated card. Too much Evolve Shaman who kill all your mana crystals by devolving which will happen nearly every time you play it as they use it as a counter to Spreading Plague. Priests will simply steal your mana minions and kill them, putting them at a serious mana advantage. Hunter, Mage and Warlock will simply wipe the board. The only having real issues playing against Living Mana are Druid and Rogue, but since you have no Innervate you can't follow up next turn with Savage Roar. There is a reason why druids only won 42% of the games where Living Mana was played. True, it wins you some games that would otherwise be lost, but in the long run you lose more games you could have won because opponents were waiting for it or because it sits dead in your hand.
I like the Tar Creeper over Crypt Lord as the latter is too easily removed if its attack isn't buffed and it doesn't have beast synergy.
Another serious consideration would be Virmen Sensei, which is IMO one of the most underappreciated cards in the game. It basically gives you 6/7 in stats for 5 mana, as long as you have a beast to target its battlecry with. When opponent cleared your board on turn 4 and on turn 5 you play flipper + sensei, you're back on the board.
And where's Leroy at?
Very nice deck though. Keep up the great work :)
EDIT: To give you an idea about the Evolving Spores see this finish at turn 6: https://hsreplay.net/replay/FHea5P67cCuxx3vxjwzDTB
No, Priest does THIS to Mana Treants: Mass Dispel
I actually did add crypt Lord instead of druid of the claw and tar creeper in my stream yesterday. Will add the changes here today aswell. bonemare is too slow tho
If you run Crypt Lord, add in a Crazed Alchemist so you can switch the stats for some burst. Also takes care of opponent's doomsayers :)
I love seeing people try different cards in their decks like the Snowflipper Penguin, but I hate aggro decks like no tomorrow! I still wanted to let you know that you get some kind words, because of Snowflipper Penguin tho.
It makes a lot of sense in this deck indeed man
Thanks for the feedback :D
amazing! Its really nice to hear that it works for you!
You got rank 1 with this deck?
EU or NA?
