I disagree. Not all forms of midrange/ramp druid live or die by their spells or FoN-Savage combos. Also, some pre-Naxx druid cards like Ancient of War are quite good at stifling aggro, if indeed aggro does increase due to Loatheb and other cards.
You're overrating that Loatheb card, really. Sometimes will save your ass but not always. Druid have other solutions to still keep some control on board.
Personally, I think Naxx gives us much better matchups v. Miracle Rogue (loatheb and poison seeds) and Handlock (poison seeds). The harm of Loatheb will probably be smaller for us than for some other decks. As a result, I think druid will go UP in the relative meta, not down, or at least stay a top contender.
Just found out that the druid "choose one" cards are not affected by that card that makes battlecry minions cost more so thats a plus. Thoughts on Kel'Thuzad in druid? Seems extremely OP if you have a lot of big minions on the board so in a control vs control matchup seems good, but then I believe naxx heavily favors aggro so druid wont really ever have the chance to fill the board with big minions and utilize KT well.

I think Nerub'ar Weblord will be awesome for Druids. It doesn't affect any of our class cards. The only card it affects in my deck at the moment is The Black Knight. But that's not such a bad thing, because it also protects our taunts from enemy TBKs, and Druid Control has the most taunts so we've always been the most vulnerable to TBK. It also protects all our fatties from Big Game Hunter.
thanks to that damn loatheb aggro will increase even more. I think mid-range and ramp druid will become extinct

Brawl wrecks me 100% of the time.
Well, poison seeds costs for so it will be nice answer to concealed auctioneer
Now that we know all the naxx cards, thoughts on whether druids got a power up or got crippled?

Spectral Knight>Druid of the Claw?
And what do you guys think ofPoison Seeds followed up with a Power of the Wild ? To maybe help your treants stick
loatheb is not overrated. it is just that good.
