The meta was afar better before the last round of nerfs.  That's fore sure.  There was far more variety and fun to be had.  We're down to around 1% of the card pool being played.

Team 5 really messed this up.  Getting closer and closer to quitting this game for good.  The devs are clueless.

 Yup. Because Druidstone was somehow preferable. Right? Instead of Druid we now have Hunter, and that's because so many people moaned about Druid being OP as fuck. So really, you only have yourselves to blame. 

Hearthstone Player base: "Waahhhhh! DRUID IS SOOOO OP! NERF IT YOU IDIOTS" 

Team 5: OK.

Hearthstone Player base: "Waaaahhhh! Hunter is OP! OMFG! Nerf it!

Team 5: "Oh for fucks sake.... "

 What game have you guys been playing? Before the nerfs it was odd. paladin and Kingsbane rogue everywhere, Druids were non-existent. The latest expansion did not add a single druid archetype and did nothing to improve the older ones, so people stopped playing it.

When a card is auto-include in every deck since the day it was released, it means there is something wrong with that card. All nerfs were correct.  

 Or maybe there's something wrong with the rest of possible choices?

Like, there was no way in hell to make a viable druid deck without those cards?

Quote from Hooghout >>

So instead of nerfing even the last remaining pieces of the Basic and Classic set I would recommend to create new cards that actually are playable competitively.

Nerfing is done to create 'design space'. Limiting future card design because of the OPness now is not what you want.

 Creating design space at the very beginning of an expansion?

Cool expansion, feels great to keep losing against odd paladin with 0 new cards on the list.

Okay Blizzard we'll keep playing Malygos druid, we get it.

Or ever used at all

I think this is overrated but let's see how it plays. Everyone is focusing on the fact that it discards and disrupts combo, but what kind of deck can you build that is immune to the negative part of this? And 8 mana for no tempo gain, it's costly.

Malygos seems to be working better for me now 

Again this season this deck is working wonderfully, I'm using the first version with hadronox and with more recruit, and added a Biology project instead of the wrath I used to have.

There's just way too many druid tryharding at the top of the ladder at the moment and this deck thrives vs druids.

Hit top 1000 with it! :D

Where are the hunter nerfs ?

The new mage legendary is better than Ragnaros, with the 1 mana 1/1 is easy to get full effect on curve (sometimes in turn 6 with coin) and the game don't become magestone with only mirrors of mages, in other words, don't break the game.

If a better card than Ragnaros don't break the game then Ragnaros don't will too and in comparison with cards like UI and hunter DK's is pathetic weak, if that insanely OP completely broken and out of control cards are allowed to be played uncheck and not nerfed in Standard why the fair, fine and correctly costed old Ragnaros need to be exiled in Wild forever?

So the new keyword is Overkill.....

That old idea came from me... i made 4 cards and posted them 2014, all with Overkill as an keyword... lol

kinda funny :) 

"Did you do it?"

"... Yes..."

"What did it cost you?"

"... 8 mana..."

The deck is a lot of fun tbh. I'm sitting at around a 60% winrate out for close to 70 games now. It's pretty terrible against aggro decks because it's difficult to finish the quest. What tends to happen is I finish the quest, but the next turn the opponent has a board set up to kill me on the next turn so I'm unable to play Barnabus and instead have to play defensively.  So my winrate against warlock is abysmal because Zoolock is very prevalent at the moment. However, against decks that aren't geared toward killing me quickly, this deck tends to outclass them all. As such, I'm looking at around a 70%+ winrate for non-aggro decks. I would recommend the deck for those who can afford it.

I did make some substitutions however. I swapped out Hadronox for Tyrantus because there are so few removal options for a 12/12 spell immune minion. I'm pretty sure I won every game where I managed to duplicate him with a Goop Sprayer. Hadronox might still be good, but I don't have to dust for it at the moment.

I also replaced Ultimate Infestation with a Giant Anaconda because UI is so hard to pull off. Generally speaking, the scenarios where you can use a UI are so few and far between that it's not worth running. Drawing 5 cards is too aggressive and leaves you susceptible to fatigue and you reduce the effectiveness of your recruit cards. The 5 damage and armor is too expensive for 10 mana. And why summon a 5/5 when you have a 0 cost 8/8 or something similar in your hand. A Giant Anaconda has better synergy and more utility for this deck so that's why I would recommend against UI. 

All in all, amazing deck. Looking forward to climbing with it!

Congratulations. Doing well with your own creation is the greatest achievement in the game IMO.  There's a couple druid meme synergies in here I've tried to make work in the past but could only make borderline competitive. Super impressed you got them to work out together

Thankfully I don't need to craft anything to try this out so I'm going to give it a go later

I like it, since its finally a druid deck that doesnt run Spreading Plague. For once something else then just play taunts and get 30 armor.

So far i went 3-3. I lost to all aggro decks (Vomit Paladin, Heal Zoolock, Keleseth Shaman) and won the rest (Midrange Shaman, Mech Warrior, Priest). The priest auto-conceded angaints druid, i dont even wonder. I need to figure out how to survive aggro decks.

I am not minding this deck at all. Other than a few match ups here and there that dominate and destroy this deck. I am rocking a pretty high win to loss ratio. Also the deck is really fun to play. Getting ramp early on is a must, and using branching paths early game to armor up against some aggro decks has definitely got me the win.

climbing thx :====))
