Im hanging around rank 14 with my token druid and I feel like Im seeing more and more legendary cards which is making it more difficult for me to progress. I do not have any legendary cards.
I find Ancient of war to be as good, if not better, than some of the legends. He's saved me in more games as Druid!
Have you done the start up quests to get gold to try arena? Any legends I got were from packs earned in arena, even on terrible 1-3 runs. The packs are random, they don't improve because you did well. I got a golden Ysera from a pack after a 1-3 run. Complete luck when they show up.
If you are getting burned down hard, I might suggest Molten Giant x 2 as a replacement for Imp Master and make those a defender of argus target. It's a desperation play, but if you have them it will definitely draw out the last couple of turns and give you a chance to top deck what you need.
Yes, definitely listen to Legacy's tips, especially in regards to card draw. Ancient of Lore, I'd probably go as far as to say it's the best Druid Minion.
It will just guide you through the late game.
If you were interested in clicking onto the link to my blog thing on my signature here (Or just type in: suttynest.wordpress.com ), there's a bit of advice you can access about non-legendary-card players, for instance the two posts I did about making Legends W/Out Legendaries should be towards the top-right of the Home Page there.
Basically, I'd prefer to advise you rather than copying my/anybody's decks, to instead take time to learn more about the game. It just takes time, practice, a bit of reading and watching others as well, but it pays off - It's a lot funner to win than lose, after all.
What Legends are really causing an issue? A 0/4 turn 1/2 is alot different to deal with than a 6/2 haste and different to deal with than a 8/8 or 4/12 on turn 8/9.
What kills any legend is what kills anything else, a spell that kills minions or creative use of board control.

Nozdormu wins you every game where you opponent has to go to the bathroom on turn 9.
I prefer replacing impmaster and one of arguses with something like sunfury protector... Druid has the worst hard removal in game, so if you face a lot of control decks and get to late game you are not in good spot without tinkmaster or rag. Fortunately current meta is mostly aggro and non-warrior control often dies to token before the end game.
I only have one question, where is Harvey Dent?Ancient of Lore or Nourish, Druid with Innervates and Claws usually run out of cards, seeing as you have no Engineers or Loot Hoarders either.
If you are low on dust I suggest you grind for the Lore, he is the only epic i ever enchanted and he has payed me back a thousand fold.
Be smarter then your opponent and play around cards they could have, and alter your deck as needed to fit what your fighting. If your getting stopped by big legendaries such as rag, one of the many dragons, or so on it might be worth it to toss a naturalize / BGH in your deck.
Your deck lacks card draw, you havent ancient lore or nourish and you havent legendaries as black knight or tinker, pagle, to get a 2 for one for example. You have no depth with cantrip cards only one azure drake, you could run loot hoarder for example, a second azure drake is needed too, with that lack of cards your need your key cards as soon as possible. If you havent pagle or blood master you have to go with loot hoarder.
If you can, i would get some epics as big game hunter, ancient lore or faceless manipulator. If you cant, my first advice would be to play aggro, you dont need legendaries apart from leroy. My second thought is that you take some underrated commons as chillwind yeti/mark of the wild, or rares as nourish/starfall/bite. You need more card advantage or more powerhouses to put pressure on in your deck.
Thanks for the detailed advice. I am replacing Druids with Loot Hoarder and a second Azure Drake

Im thinking about crafting Ancient of Lore next to replace Ancient of War. I'll definitely be looking into that reading, especially about making Legends W/Out Legendaries. Thanks.
"How to deal with legionaries if you don't have any?"
You netdeck a hunter or warlock deck. If you want to play druid, the top druid decks all have like 6 legendaries and beyond. That's why druids are so effective, is that they are the best class to take advantage of all the legendaries out there.
Get good at arena, and grind your tushy off to get all the dust and cards you need, then you can play druid well.
Also, token druid is garbage imo. I have no idea how people rank up with it, it seems like the easiest thing in the world to counter. Taunt druid way way more effective imo (and taunt druid is where the legendaries really shine).

Uh actually you don't need any Legendary cards for Taunt druid again if you don't play druid don't tell people what you need for the deck
Im hanging around rank 14 with my token druid and I feel like Im seeing more and more legendary cards which is making it more difficult for me to progress. I do not have any legendary cards.
What are my options other then buying 50 packs? Im staying away from p2p.
Probably time to get good at arena right?
About arena or not: Tbh I used to play alot of arena and watch Trump playing arena. But eventually I realize that arena has no changing meta so yeah it becomes less fun when you play it too often. At that time, I constantly have 7+ win tho. But sometimes trying arena as a break does light thing up.
The famous legendary druid has fallen not too long ago, in favor of a lighter build to deal with aggro meta. You WILL usually face aggro alot in rank 10-20. Here is the deck if you don't have it: http://i.imgur.com/3iCSdGD.png Only legendaries are Pagle and Tink. But you can replace them by Loot Hoarder and Mark of the wild.

Which legendaries are you specifically having issues with? Most if not all have some kind of none-legendary solution that you can sub in.
To deal with legionaries you should fight like they do: shield wall strat. thats how the barbarians got used to fight rome, adapting to their style

When I played without legendaries I just squeezed in a faceless and big game hunter into my deck and I was doing fine.
I only have one question, where is

Thought about it for a sec when I seen the title, thought better of it then as it was waaaaaay too obvious :P
Ancient of Lore is pretty good, I still prefer Ancient of war though.

Wait.. Why would you take out one of the stronger cards in your deck, for loot hoarders? Take out the claws before you take out the druids...
