I am trying to list all the possible ways to counter these dreaded combo decks like the druids deck and mechatun decks and others OTK decks (usually using spells to finish). I am sure many of you have tested different options. So please take a look at my list and tell us which ones you already tested and how did they fare.
I am sure that the list is not exhaustive (you are welcome to share). I am also aware if these cards are included, they would mess up certain decks. Nevertheless I think it's worth trying to see if one or more of them can fit in the more versatile decks.
OVERDRAW
Only a few classes, if I am not wrong, that can do it: Druid with Naturalize, Mage with Research Project, rogue with Vanish (its possible so I have to count it in).
Played some secret hunter in wild past rank5 and made a tweak to counter Stars Aligned druids. Used Ancient mage to give spelldmg to stealthed Cat Trick, worked very nicely. Concedes after Aviana was destroyed by 5dmg Snipe happened surprisingly often.
Gnomeferatu as well. The lich king rolling death grip. Howlfield defile shenanigans. Sap on a full board. That druid card that draws both players a card and end of turn. Lots more in wild as well

MORPH A COMBO CARD
Demonic Project (Warlock only)
NEUTRAL COUNTERS:
INCREASE COST OF SPELLS
Nerubian Unraveler: Played at the right moment that could mess up some combos (like Malygos druid)
INCREASE COST OF MINIONS:
Mana Wraith that would potentially be the counter against Mechatun decks specially priest.
- if you play Nerubian and Mana wraith on the same turn...that should kill any combo out there. question is you must figure out when to play them.
I started testing by adding naturalize in my token druid deck with some success against druids, priest (mechatun) and warlock (mechatun).
depends which combo, but if its malygos, armoring up to infinity with odd warrior works. not for togwaggle though.

If your at full health against malydruid and use your death knight to get 5 armor, you can survive the otk.
You can also counter some mecha’thun decks by not killing a minion.
Coldlight Oracle would have been kickass in this meta.
I exist, I think.
