Trying to make a "walking dead/minion bomb" druid deck. Its had mixed success.. tell me what you all think. Ive been playing around with it alot. Might add a Cairne or a Faceless. Also had a couple Big Game Hunters, but they seemed to clog my hand more than help me. Maybe a Wild Pyromancer + some healing for a counter to zoo?

Ive been trying to get a bunch of minions on the board, then Soul of Forest/Savage Roar. IDK, I win about 60% of the time, but Ill go on horrific losing streaks when I just cant draw a fucking card.

Take this with a grain of salt as I am probably not the greatest...but my understanding for druids is they have so many good cards (innervate, etc) to take them to their late game cards (which are also good) is that it is almost a waste to do a rush deck with them as there are better suited classes for that. I usually see/hear them being some form of a combo or control deck. Now if you just love druid and want to try and create that deck then go for it. IMO you deck seems all over the place. Just my thought.

Well it's token druid, there's definitely a better version somewhere. It works alright even though it's heavily reliant on having a strong board to savage roar with so there's some shit that simply ruin your day. Based on the ratings, something likeMiracle/Token Druid [EASY LEGEND] - Hearthstone Decksor[LEGEND] Ek0p Savage Roar Druid - Cenarius Variant - Hearthstone Decksand so on. There's a bunch of them. It's a combo deck, even though it has a lot of cheap shit, due to savage roar and power of the wild mechanics.

I understand what you are saying. I've been using innervate/coin/moonfire to fast spawn minions off the Violet Teacher and then hit it with Soul of the Forest then Savage Roar the next turn. I also use the old Force of Nature/Savage Roar. I try to match up my Flesheating Ghoul when Im clearing with the spawned minions. Illidan is there to give me another fast minion spawn option, and Sylvanas just to try to counter stuff.

Its beautiful when it works, it just is very random.

That's why the other token decks use a lot more consistent druid cards to get the combos off more easily. There's less combo tools but a lot more control tools to safely survive until you get your shit ready. The various druid minions are so good, while they don't really fit the concept they're still worth using, druid of the claw is insane for stalling or for a 4/4 charge, keeper of the grove is great at removing shit and hard to remove by aggro without trading 2 for 1, ancient of lore gives you your lategame drawing or healing that you need to make sure to close the game, just works a lot better than relying entirely on drawing the right stuff even if you cycle a lot.

Drop the flesheating ghoul. It's attack might increase, but it's health stays at 3 so it is easily removed. Add a harvest golem or scarlet crusader, which is harder to remove. Drop the moonfire, it isnt worth a card slot for 1 damage + a chance of a token.

Decks with too many combos do not seem to work well in hearthstone. Even if you have a lot of draw, you still end up having to waste part of your combo just to have plays in the early game. I have been trying new things myself, but it seems very hard to make a solid deck that is so heavily reliant on combos.

I'm surprised more Savage Roar druids don't run Onxyia. I added her to mine, and she's worked well. Yeah, it's not immediate damage, but typically your opponent has to choose between the board clear or killing the big 8/8. If you get to roar the next turn with a full board it's hella damage.

I played a druid last night in freaking arena that played Onyxia then innervate/coin and Soul of the Forest

Guess the logic is that if your token shit isn't dying, Onyxia becomes quite a dead card and if it's not working, it's only a decent card for the lategame and you can't combo off it in the same turn(it's 9 mana right? so no power of the wild buffing unless innervate). But it can replace Cenarius for sure if you don't have it and have Onyxia, or just in general. Can play Hogger too, he makes a strong token every turn and he's fairly annoying to remove.

HS tournament brackets will be generated in like ~26min. If anyone wants to sign up last minute, make sure you get in! Best turn out yet.

@Ancient: If you're running double combo, the game is over about ~60% of the time when you hit 9 mana. Which isn't turn 9, due to Wild Growth. Makes Onyxia a little slow, relatively speaking.

Well I'd agree The Master except for the fact that Cenarius is pretty common in combo decks. And I guess he's a better option than Onxyia most of the time, makes sense I would use her though since I don't have him.

Ah, yeah, if I didn't have Cenarius I might run Onyxia. Though I'm not running Cenarius either right now, I was losing to faster versions of the deck so I sped mine up.

Got Hogger in a pack earlier and right after that I face someone in arena named Hogger. It was an epic top-decking uphill struggle but somehow my shitty mage deck beat his shitty priest deck.

No, they need to add a "hurry the fuck up" emote. Playing a fucking priest that waits until the last second each turn to make his move makes me rage.

Or a "WTF?!" or "SERIOUSLY?" emote when someone pulls off one of the combos.

Got stuck vs this lock last night. I had lethal next round In hand, his turn was over, and the counter never ticked off, and we stood there for 10 minutes. I know he was there cause he was emoting. I finally gave up and went to bed.
Shit pissed me off.

Generally happens when they disconnect instead of conceding. You probably won the game. If that happens just relog. Might have been you being disconnected too so you can relog in the game sometimes.
