I'm just curious, is there an actual strategy to beating Hadranox Druids other than swiping to face and hoping you don't get controlled? I can't say I've played every single class and had trouble with this archetype, but I can definitely tell you that my win-rate against them is quite low... I normally play zoolock and find myself winning 10% of the time (around rank 7).
Just wondering, in this rock-paper-scissors game, what is the strategy to actually d e s t r o y i n g a Hadranox druid? I always find myself losing no matter how I try to play against their stuff. Maybe mage with a double Polymorph?
However, by best advise for you would be to play with the deck if you can make it. Though you may not the like the playstyle it can give you insight in what kind of decks that win against you.
A hard counter would probably be Shudderwock Shaman.
Basically, kill them before they can start doing their shenanigans. Tech cards you can try are geist to kill his naturalizes, or the ones agon_EU posted to contaminate their witching hour pool. If you're playing priest, mass dispel can win you the game if you have a good board.

Lovely advice about crafting the deck to gain insight! Only, I'm not shape for crafting anything right now unfortunately.

I didn't think about geist, interesting. I might try it, but it feels so clunky sometimes. Thanks!
Since teching Skulking Geist into my BSM I haven't lost a single match against Hadronox Druid. Get him out ASAP and then save a Polymorph for Hadronox when he comes out. Instant concede from the Druid right there.
The Geist is also handy against Cubelock, Odd Paladin, Prince Liam Paladin and Miracle Rogue for what it's worth..
I always run Skulking Geist in my Mage Control decks for this very counter. If you can ditch his Naturalizes early on, it means you are guaranteed the chance to deal with Hadronox when you see it.
if you're playing zoo don't be afraid to go Wide against hadronox druid, that deck can't run spreading plague because it would screw their witching hour
Had a great winrate against this deck with even Shaman because of hex purely. Hitting LK or Primordial Drake with Hex wrecks them pretty well. It's funny because they will naturalize their first Hadronox and then it brings back the frog lol. Then they play witching hour twice and two frogs come back lol. It's so good it's funny.

Geist was the card I used to counter jades when they were the most annoying thing. I still find Geist as an underrated card and a counter to many decks

Polymorph, Hex, Cornered Sentry, Thinkmaster Overspark
Top deck is cheat
If you can give him a beast you are making it easier for yourself. E.g. Tinkmaster Overspark as a neutral counter. Class specific counters: Hex, Polymorph and Cornered Sentry.

If you are facing alot of them then try out quest warrior with Cornered Sentry
Worked every time for me, it's an all around solid deck to ladder with too that doesn't have much super weak matchups
If not then try running geist in your decks as sad as it is (jades rotated out and still we using geist for druid -__-)

Combo priests counters them hard too. Have played like 200 games with combo priest this week, and my winrate against them was like 70-80%.

Thats what I always try. My only chances are like a 50/50 after I've spread & if they have AOE or not. It almost never works tho
