Nuff said. Nerf it to the ground.
I've been playing evolve to lately and if you don't Mulligan into evolves and the minions to combo you're going to fall so far behind.
Druid was just given the ultimate Swiss army knife card with UI. Even with shit draw you just draw or ramp into it and overwhelm.
With shaman you devolve their buffed taunts and fingers crossed they don't refill their hand. I'm about 50/50 evolve against druid and I'm a mutli time legend player with 1k+ wins on shaman. That's not good, imagine your more casual or inexperienced player...
Dog is playing a Control Warlock atm rank 124, with Geist and he is farming those druids.
It is weird, my 2 last games vs jade druid I win with...
QUEST ROGUE!!!
Forget the old quest rogue trying complete the quest fast as possible, the quest is like your very late win condition, no more weak bounce minions only shadowstep, you play with the DK, Vanish, Shadowcaster, Firefly and Doomsayer.
The plan is draw, play minions, remove until you play the DK, in turn 10 the opponent have a full size board of big minions, you vanish and put 2 doomsayers for be sure you get an empty board in your turn, in your turn Shadowcaster combo itself and all 1/1 copies turn 5/5 because the quest, with duplicates saps you play big minions much more faster can opponent can replace, and win.
Quest mage did the job for me.
Free Coaching For Beginners
Because Druid is a good control class. If you play Pirate Warrior which takes no skill at all, you're going to lose. Besides, I've found Druid to be fairly easy to beat. If you're playing against the Taunt style control druid, it's easy. Priest makes a mockery of them it seems with dragonfire potion, mass dispel, and any other impactful AoE. Plus, if you have fairly big minions yourself, it's even easier. It seems to be about value in a mirror matchup against control decks.
Unbeatable my as% i'm 4-4 with it at rank 12
just join them. btw are you playing pirate warrior? and you loose to a taunt? no way.!
Hearthstone released its Knight of the Frozen Throne expansion last week, and while it always takes some time for the metagame to truly be sorted out, one conclusion can already be drawn. Druid is strong. That’s not news, as rain or shine Druid is always strong in Hearthstone, but with Frozen Throne, Druid has reached a new level of power that hasn’t been seen in a very long time, and little else can compete.
Unlike Journey to Un’Goro there isn’t one deck or card you can necessarily point to with Druid and say “this is the problem,” like you could with Caverns Below Rogue (win rates aside, it was a clear blight upon the game). But the entire Druid class, which has always been powerful, has been given new tools that combine with its old tools for some truly unstoppable decks. And something may need to change as a result.
Here are the problem cards according to the amateur and pro Hearthstone community, as well as what I’ve personally experienced on the ladder.
1. ULTIMATE INFESTATION[/b]
I mean, you can just read that text and probably understand why it’s an issue right there. This is essentially “good Yogg-Saron” where all the effects are fantastic instead of anything that can hurt you. Instantly kill a minion, deal potentially lethal damage, summon a tough body, refill your hand for aggro or Jade Decks. It’s pretty crazy, even at the maximum mana cost, and it’s already being compared to a pre-nerf Call of the Wild for Hunter.
2. SPREADING PLAGUE
Spreading Plague is both the ultimate anti-aggro tool, creating an entire board of impassable taunts against those decks, but also the perfect addition to the already strong Token/Aggro Druid thanks to cards like Mark of the Lotus and the new Strongshell Scavenger, which gives all Taunt minions +2/+2. You can easily end up with a board full of 1/5s, 2/6s or 3/7s with taunt by turn five or six, and getting past it (and not run over by it) is exhausting.
3. Lich King[b]
It may seem weird to put a neutral legendary in here, as everyone has access to the Lich King, but because of Druid’s ramping abilities, getting more mana faster than all other classes with cards like Wild Growth, Innervate, Jade Blossom and Nourish, you can easily get a Lich King on turn 5/6/7 while everyone else has to wait until turn 8. Given how powerful the card is, and can be even if you only get one card from it, this is a big problem when it shows up early in many Druid decks, and the class benefits from the strong neutral disproportionately.
4. INNERVATE
It’s the quintessential Druid card from the classic set, but now in the wake of Frozen Throne, arguments are being made that it should be retired. In addition to being able to get out strong cards quickly like the ones we’re seeing above, Innervate has been making trouble for a while now, pumping out turn 1 Vicious Fledglings or turn 2 Bittertide Hydras. It may even be holding high mana minions back in general, because they just benefit Druid too much with this card’s existence. I have loved ramp Druid and Innvervate specifically for years (Druid is the only class I have 500 wins in for a golden portrait) but even I have to agree that Innvervate by itself is making Druid just too strong, and that couldn’t be more evident than what we’re seeing with Frozen Throne. Pro Hearthstone player Reynad recently made a great video arguing for Innervate to be moved to the “Hall of Fame” and out of standard play.
Will Blizzard change anything? Usually they move very slowly with nerfs, taking months or even years to address problem cards. But depending on how things go, Druid may be getting cut down to size soon enough.[u][/u]

Blizzard will address to this fast I believe because the competition with other card games now is more than ever and Blizzard dont want to lose more players to other games.
Why people feel the need to open a new thread each time they want to rant about Druid (this time) when there are tons of the already open? Please, use the search function or at last simply look at the recent threads histroy before opening a new one.
Anyway, on topic, the only real "broken" thing that should be addressed is Innervate and I'm saying this since years not from KotFT: each card's balance is tuned around it's effect and it's mana cost; Innervate simply mess with the mana cost making otherwise good/strong cards broken while allowing them to be played earlier. It should be given a drawback effect in order to balance its free ramp effect.
For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
I agree with everything, but you are literally running over exhausted ground now. The stats will show how much of a problem druid is. My advice is to either stop playing untile they fix it, or play druid yourself, increasing the number of druids on ladder and accelerating a change.
