Wow, sick pack.

Energy 09-17-2015 01:08 PM

Hit rank 5 with CW and stalled.

Then I went from rank 5 to legend in 5 hours with aggro druid. Easiest climb to legend ever :D

Can you share your druid list?

Energy 09-17-2015 02:51 PM

On my phone right now or I'd just screenshot. This is an all face deck. Games are really fast and over by turn 7. Other decks cannot keep up. The only problem is freeze Mage and some times dragon priest but I've beat those two also.

Add me if you want to play with me or watch me! GoNick#1951

2x Innervate
2x Living Roots
2x Power of the Wild
2x Darnassus Aspirant
2x Druid of the Saber
2x Flame Juggler
2x Savage Roar
1x Eyedis Darkbane
2x Swipe
2x Keeper of the Grove
2x Piloted Shredder
1x Savage Combatant
2x Druid of the Claw
2x Azure Drake
1x Loatheb
2x Force of Nature
1x Dr. Boom

Congrats! I need to hit legend :3

SkinnyPupp 09-17-2015 06:52 PM

Face druid is definitely unique, I can't wait to try it!

What's the Eyedis Darkbane for if you don't have any targeted buff spells?

Energy 09-17-2015 11:06 PM

Just the good stats and ability to play her on curve. You can easily replace her with a Spider Tank. She's just more stylish and your opponents will get scared and try to remove her ASAP.

SkinnyPupp 09-17-2015 11:11 PM

Trying it now at rank 11... First game I am up against a control deck with zombie chows, so expectations are not high.

I did swap out the Eyedis with another Savage Combatant

Game 1 - (Midrange) Shaman - Win 9 turns, first. He got Flametongue from both his Totemics but I was able to keep it under control. Won with combo turn 9
Game 2 - (Midrange) Paladin - Win 6 turns, first. Very aggressive start with Saber and Innervated DOTC. Won by double living roots turn 5, into back to back force of nature turns 6 and 7 going to FACE.
Game 3 - (Control) Dragon Shaman with Healing Wave (?) - Disconnect. Would have been a turn 6 win without his healing wave (which he lost btw but still put him out of lethal). Disconnected either way so there goes my win streak
Game 4 - Fucking miracle rogue? - Win 9 turns, coin. Nearly threw the game thinking that a sapped Saber would be able to have charge (wasn't thinking). Dirty turn 9 combo top dick for lethal. Probably would have won anyway.
Game 5 - (Control) Dragon priest with turn 1 Whelp - Loss 9 turns, first - Was fine until Velens on a Twilight Guardian (flame juggler hitting it might have saved the game), followed by a holy nova clear, followed by a Cabal on my only remaining minion. I doubt this deck can beat that very much.
Game 6 (Midrange) Hunter - Win 7 turns, first - Easy
Game 7 (Midrange) Shaman - Win 7 turns, first - Turn 1 and 2 living roots, a pair of them lasted until turn 6.
Game 8 (Midrange) Paladin with Refreshment Vendor - Win 8 turns, coin - This one was sketchy but once I drew double swipe I went full aggro and won it. If he had a big heal I was toast.
Game 9 (Midrange) Shaman with Zombie Chow - Win 9 turns, first - Roots into POTW
Game 10 - Patron Warrior - Loss, first- Double shield block put him way out of range, and then of course druid can't recover from a board full of patrons. With no draw mechanic and double innervate/swipe in hand, nothing I could do.
Game 11 - (Control) - Dragon Priest with Mass Dispel - Loss, first - Not much can be done against a Blackwing Corruptor that clears your minion, gets power word: shield and then velens, followed by mass fucking dispel on your shredders, followed by a chromaggus with power word shield, followed by lightbomb and then holy nova to get just out of range.
Game 12 - (Control) - Dragon Priest - Loss, first - Hand was Savage Roar, Savage Roar, Innervate so I had to play really greedy against a Sylvanas. It didn't work out.
Game 13 - (Midrange) Paladin - Win 8 turns, coin - Darnassus shines in this matchup, especially if you can remove their minibot with living roots. Flame Juggler finally scored a hit!

Flame juggler hits - 1 for 5
Had coin - 3 out of 13 games (this is normal for me)

That's all for now. I have to say it's a fun way to play Druid! It definitely has its weakness and that's Dragon Priest, which is a shame because that's one of the most popular decks right now. Thankfully it seems to do well against the other most popular deck - Paladin. I'll keep playing this until the MMR fucks me by putting me against 3 more priests in a row...

Edit: Some more games before dinner:

Game 14 - Patron Warrior - Loss 9 turns, Coin- Tried to rush him down but he got a big armorsmith turn
Game 15 - Handlock Warlock - Win 8 turns, First - Perfect timing on the loatheb turn 8, preventing shadowflame, setting up combo lethal against any taunts he could possibly have.
Game 16 - Dragon Priest Win! 10 turns, Coin - AGAIN. Fucking seriously? It can be done! If you think aggro decks are easy, try this game.
Game 17 - Tempo Mage Loss, 11 turns, Coin - Always a bad matchup for druid, even worse when your hand is swipe, swipe, innervate and shit like that. Tried bluffing combo as he was at 14 health but he didn't bite
Game 18 - Face Hunter Win, 6 turns, First - I put so much pressure on him, he traded with Arcane Golem! Absolutely REKT
Game 19 - Tempo Mage Loss - Mana Wyrm into Flame Cannon into Frostbolt... Fuck this game
Game 20 - Oil Rogue - Win, 8 turns, First - Had to balance keeping his board clean while getting him into combo range by making greedy plays. Played out perfectly as I drew combo turn 9
Game 21 - Dragon Priest with turn 1 whelp AGAIN - Loss FUCK
Game 22 - Mech Mage with cogmaster into annoy-o-tron into annoy-o-tron - Loss this is basically a better version of this druid deck

The MMR has figured this deck out, good luck winning with it now. I'll switch to another deck, and never see another dragon priest or tempo mage now.

Energy 09-17-2015 11:13 PM

Yeah Zombie Chow can wreck you... don't be scared to use Savage Roar for removal on turn 3.

Try to maintain board control and go face! It's easy to top deck lethal with this deck.

Energy 09-18-2015 01:33 PM

Priest is a bad matchup if they get a good draw. Otherwise, just have to control the board and try to end it quickly.

I think that two Savage Combatants is too much because its too situational and normally played on turn 6 or with an Innervate. You need a 3 drop which you can Innervate into on turn 1 or Coin plus Darnassus on turn 1 then follow up with a 3 drop on turn 2.

I'm glad you had fun with it though! I got to Legend 97 with this deck, first time to break the Legend 100s.

SkinnyPupp 09-18-2015 06:20 PM

I was thinking that too, maybe a Druid of the Flame or a Shade. Looking at my losses, it was always against the high tempo classes that can remove my shit while building their own board even more.

That tempo mage with wyrm into both early removals was disheartening. FeelsBadMan

Also in those 22 games, I think I only played Dr Boom once

Truth is, if you run into dragon priest almost 50% of the time, you shouldn't be playing this deck at all...

SkinnyPupp 09-18-2015 08:18 PM

In my last 24 games, compare my opponents' classes:

As Priest and as Druid:

http://i.imgur.com/oCSzpPJ.png http://i.imgur.com/WeiOLuR.png

Note that the druid deck is very weak against priest, and quite weak against mage.

Tell me there isn't some fuckery going on

The strange part is, the priest deck is really strong against hunters (only lost one game out of those). So it doesn't seem to be adjusting for me to give me a 50% win rate. It's possible that the opponents are being adjusted for

Energy 09-19-2015 10:18 AM

Finally got my gold Warrior. Dropped down so many ranks trying to get to 500 wins!

Energy 09-19-2015 04:38 PM

Fucking Majordomo. I lost this one after having the upper hand...

SkinnyPupp 09-19-2015 10:23 PM

21-5 so far with this dragon priest, thanks in part to a lot of hunter matches (11 matches, 9 wins). Only weak matchup is warrior (1-3). Tempo Mage and Secrets Paladin can fuck you (5-3 against both those) but a lot of that is luck of the draw. I'm 5-0 in the mirror matchup. Of course there's handlock, but who plays handlock these days? (edit: Oh, the guy who was my rank 5 match with a win streak, with two perfectly timed healbot topdecks... fucking god)

Guess this is my killer list for the month. Fast druid was good for a while but started hitting too many unfavored matchups (and they are way more unfavored than this priest's)

SkinnyPupp 09-20-2015 03:45 AM

Rank 5 baby! That's my legend, don't want to grind. Time to play some fun decks PogChamp

ForbiddenX 09-20-2015 02:12 PM

Trying to make that push to Rank 5 as well currently only rank 10 :(.

Was at my first tournament yesterday here in TO and it was pretty fun. Made it out of the group stages but lost my first match after that.

First time doing conquest mode. I brought Mech Mage, Control Warrior, Dragon Priest. Probably going to skip the mech mage next time and bring Handlock.

Energy 09-20-2015 03:32 PM

I was spectating you in your CW vs handlock match for my free pack. Wish there were tournaments in Vancouver.

SkinnyPupp 09-20-2015 06:01 PM

If you're playing in tournaments you need to become an expert in patron warrior

Yea I know :( I really like control warrior though, out of all of my matches I only dropped 1 match when it was my CW against their patron.

What are you using to track your stats? I just started using hearthstats.net but their OSX client sucks so a majority of my matches weren't tracked. Their windows one though is great (I think they forked Hearthstone Deck Tracker and added in uploading to their service)

SkinnyPupp 09-21-2015 07:01 AM

I use hearthstone deck tracker, and they export to hearthstats as well. I remember seeing a different one for OSX that looked pretty nice, might want to check reddit or something

As for Patron I got it up to 70% win rate before TGT but haven't touched it since then. Too boring IMO

ForbiddenX 09-21-2015 07:13 AM

Yea I found this: https://trackobot.com/ it looks really nice for OSX AND Windows but doesn't upload to Hearthstats but their own service. Guess it doesn't matter though. Might give it a try. Really liking Hearthstone Deck Tracker though

Drow 09-21-2015 07:18 AM

I run dragon priest, totem shaman, and eboladin. Currently hovering ard 11-12... I dont like to play rank too much it makes me too nervous. Hate playing against face huntards

ForbiddenX 09-21-2015 07:31 AM

I've been playing a lot of Dragon priest as well, took me from rank 12 early yesterday to almost 7 today.

I used to nervous to play ranked due to ladder anxiety but got over it and try not to focus too much on my rank and just focus on trying to win that one game.
