Hello there, I want to play Spell Druid but I don't have too much experience playing Druid. So I was wondering if you could tell me some tips. And if you think if it's viable to play it nowadays. Thanks!
Oh, I see. Thanks for the reply. I was afraid of aggro making this deck umplayable, now that I think about it, the ladder its full of Dh. I will consider it a fun deck and thats it.
Spell Druid is definitely playable, I am currently D1 with it and doing quite ok vs DH. You just need to adapt your Mulligan to the opponent sometimes. Usually you mulligan hard for Fungal Fortunes, Overgrowth and Glowfly Swarm, but against DH you should always keep Crystal Power (cheap way to kill Satyr Overseer or Battlefiend, against Hunter I keep Wrath to have an answer to an early Phase Stalker and sometimes you might have to judge whether for example to Coin out 4 glowfly swarms instead of waiting 1 more round to get 6-7 of them on board as this delay will often kill you. The 4 2/2s will not win you the game but will earn you enough time usually to draw other combo pieces.
Some more general tips: be aware of what AoE removal each deck has against a board full of 2/2s or 3/3s so that you can anticipate and/or judge if it is the right time to swarm the board: Hunter only has Explosive Trap, DH has Altruis combos if late enough in the game, Priest is very annoying as they have 2x Breath of the Infinite and 2x Holy Nova, Highlander decks on 5 mana will get Lightning Storm from Zephrys, Warriors have Risky Skipper combos and finally Rogue has Flik Skyshiv which is also super annoying
Thank you so much for the tips, it really helps me a lot, 'cause I've zero experience with it. I'm gonna try your advices and get through the aggro haha

No, it is not viable because DH.
You have few games when draw nuts and smash your opponent face but many games you draw poorly and get stomped by DH's and hunters.

You could try using the lists the pros used in GM week 3. They used lists that week that are tech'ed towards an aggressive meta.
For example, Monsanto's list which tech'ed in BEEEES!!! to have better chance of surviving the early aggression.
