Hearthpwn

I pulled 5 wins with Druid or Hunter daily today and was having a really bad time making a basic deck with either, considering I don't play either deck in constructed and lack any expert cards for those specific decks.  Then I decided, I have plenty of nice common and rare neutral cards, so I put this deck together and quickly went 5-0 and finished my daily.

Figured I should post it for others who might be in a similar position. :)

Any less pricey substitutions for the Ysera?

If you want a sub that costs nothing, theres ironbark protector. its a free druid card, "roughly" accomplishes the same thing as a late game threat, but it is alot easier to kill

Yes, as suggested above, you could substitute something like the Ironbark Protector for her, or even add another Stormwind Champion in her place to help buff your other minions.

Ysera isn't a hard hitter unless she's buffed, she just has a lot of health. (4/12 for 9 mana)  She's mainly there because I had her and because I like the dream cards she gives, but if she's so much as silenced she just turns into a medium sized minion.

As far as the Defender of Argus/Cult Master go having just one of each in there, going with two of either could work just fine.  The Defender's buffs and addition of taunt minions is really nice, the Cult Master was just in there in case I needed extra card draw, and I don't think I ever ended up needing it.
