Basically, if you curve well you have a good chance of winning. But since it's a top-heavy deck, chances also are that you're going to draw badly. Sometimes Oakheart is your last card.
It's not auto-win and it's an expensive deck. But I suppose it can be fun if you're into Big decks.
Personally, I would not play it. It feels like it has very lopsided matchups. And we have enough Druids on the ladder as it is, ha.
It's a Gambler's Deck, like Barnes decks. Draw your Barnes by 4 or your Oakheart by 9 and you'll probably win. Don't and you'll probably lose.
I personally don't like those decks. I want to win when I outplay my opponent and lose when my opponent outplays me. In a Gambler's Deck all skill can do is allow you to mulligan for your big card. Everything else is up to RNG.

The problem with Big Druid and control druid in general is lack of hard removal. Because druid standard lacks hard removal, it means you have to play the tempo game to control the board, and that means running 'early game' minions. 'Early game' minions for non-aggro druid are mostly Oaken Summons and Arcane Tyrant. However these two cards do not really fit Big Druid, and thus there are better options for druid [Greedy Sprite is valued more for the ramp and does little in terms of board control].
Big Druid was exactly mediocre in win rate from my experience.

How do you know if you’ve never played it?
I've played against it a bunch with several of my decks. I also play a couple Druid decks, and looked for ways to tech against Big Druid because I kept running into it.
It's not a complicated deck.

Is it a good and fun deck? Legend worthy if played well? According to HSreplay, when Oakheart was in mulligan, your winrate was almost 70 percent.
I don't play Big Druid, but I can comment on it.
