General Mulligans
The Center of the Deck take hold of the Astral Tigers and put them into a never ending cycle of game and deck value.
The card you wanna keep are listed above, as they generally will provide you the quick to mid game you want.
Tired of Combo Decks? Tired of people stealing your deck to win? tired of your card just dying and you only have big minions or really small ones? Then you might enjoy my deck.
See a Togglewaggle druid? hope they get 1 astral tiger if they try to Mecha c’thun win
See big mage? It’s okay you can rebuild, embrace the flame and bathe in it while burning their cards! Even if it a Lich you have such a odd HP amount it’ll make it harder for them to make Water Elemental!
Warlock will need use allot of removal and card to blow you out!
Hunter being agro Like Pally, you can live with a few beatings before being stable, like in Real Life.
Priest is making a big hand? Let’s help them out, sorry if you lose a core card 🙁 We just wanted to help!
puns can go on this combo breaker deck, but really isn’t not so bad!
This Deck is mainly Around the Astral tigers and how flex you can play into most match ups,With the recent Meta getting more Agro style to more control Board the deck had to change, while you might say iy like Taunt Druid, it really isn’t.
You can run to the Fatigue game to being stable with no card in the deck, also those pesky OTK aren’t a problem since they “want” your deck? That okay you can rebuild the new deck!
—————
This deck doesn’t like silences Generally on the tigers, but can live past it if you past smart enough till you can Cube the tiger/resummon it. This Deck can rebuild from a Single Tiger Easily
Mind Control is a other card to watch out for as they generally would Mind Control your Cube loaded with Tigers, or your bear to pull out 2 low cost minions, be ready if that happens (this is also why Faceless is in the deck)
Card Break down
Naturalize Depening onthe game you can use this to deal with a big target, or just to use for mill power with a Forest Guide or hold on to it if you feel like the game might require a combo with Hadronox, but generally by that time they most likely would wasted Poly or hex’s on other cards by how out of the meta this deck would seem or try to stop the tigers.
Wild Growth Use to run biology project but the meta shift to more Agro style and now it was hurting the deck since some decks are abusing the early mana now, so normal slow ramp now/maybe a card draw later?
Witching Hour to the foolish player they will use this on Hadronox, but this is more of get a turn pass, with the 1/5 or more likely to be used and get the Grizzled Guardian more then anything, in late game this is the ideal turn 10 to use with Malfurion the Pestilent
Astral Tiger the unlimited Value of this deck, with card pull it always out it’s the ideal for trading and with it 3 attack with a Starfall , you can use it to take out most 5-8 minions
Forest Guide considering it 1/6 minion it has many uses from setting up swipes, having high health making people burn useful stuff on it to kill it, to the power of milling strong card or key cards for a combo, Just know this doesn’t do well when vsin’ a Warlock having Skull of the Man'ari and While yes it can chance on milling you, most your hand is setup for Mana effective spending majority the game already!
Ironwood Golem Not much to say beside solid body for a 3/6 and Taunt nice.
Kobold Monk is basically a shutdown to most point and click spells, while spells that don’t target you they just do said thing like Mind Blast , but doesn’t stop cards like Alexstrasza for Example, but Does Stop cards like Fireball
Oaken Summons the Ideal card to start gaining stable from a few damage early game to late game armor while pulling out the Tigers or whatever else may be hiding in your deck
Sen'jin ShieldmastaSwipe to help remove minions to maybe just swiping the face, a strong card overall to deal with lots of cards/decks (even if not targeted on creatures that might have divine shield!)
Carnivorous Cube While you might ask why there is one, earlier models of the deck did had 2, but it flooded the deck late game with Tigers, which harm more then did good and normally 1 tiger always going be out so if you did wanted to do 2 cube in a single turn it better to Faceless Manipulator it, or depending on the game, you might Faceless something really good and wanna cube it to spit clones of it later!Or however else the game is going thus far.
Dollmaster Dorian one my earlier decks used him, but I recently found a good way to keep him protected and getting the most value out of him since most mossy Horror been removed from deck as Tec card this put Dorian back in the undying army! also with Card like Forest Guide and Nourish you can really abuse the card draw now while making mini 1/1 – Also the deck has 15 minions and sometimes I was drawing my Tigers (which wasn’t the ideal thing at times).
Faceless Manipulator Depending what you are vsin’ you may want to hold on to it to copy a Astral Tiger if your deck was stolen to copying the Cube as mention above this. Or see something you really like what your opponent played? TAKE IT and cube it if it really good! This is flexibility
Nourish I recently found a good way to use the 2nd card after hitting 10 mana, card draw, and with Dorian!
Starfall Depending on what you vs this can help remove a big card, or help trade, to clearing small Agro minions with low health.
Grizzled Guardian this Bear will let you feel less lonely, and with Witching Hour you are more safe on trading the Tigers, heck sometimes you can pull out the others at times giving you more of threat , generally the 1st bear get to die, but Mages and Shammy’s learn after the 1st bear it better to Poly or Hex them , but as long you got 1 bear in the Grave that all you care for later.
Hadronox While most people think it is some knock-off taunt Druid, this isn’t the key card, the point of this card just to refuel the board of the bears and ironwood golem, or whatever Taunt was copy or placed in the grave.
Replacing Cards
Card you can Replace That doesn’t change much how the deck runs around
Gloop Sprayer this card can sometimes flood the board when you don’t want to, but if you do add this cardinthe deck , copy the Tiger/cubed and Kobold Monk/Ironwood golem as a extra if you can.
Ysera Great for late game Value as long Forest guide seem to be burned , and making board with the dragons/clearing board (and sending the tigers back to the Deck)
Corrosive Sludge great if your running into allot of Weaponized decks, and no need to worry about it being pulled out by mistake!
Corpse Raiser Put on the tigers to dupe, or the Bear if you just can’t live without a pet bear!
Mossy Horror Good Tech card noless if you keep running into allot of Small cards, just be careful to not kill your own recruiter/guide!
The Black Knight great if seeing allot of taunts in the meta and you don’t wanna trade and have tech card for it!
Alexstrasza Good way to just focus on trading before going face
Dreampetal Florist This generally won’t live, but great to turning a minion basically Free to cast
Fatespinner Your ahead get the +2/+2, but generally will be used for the 3 damage to all minions, again our deck doesn’t mind dying generally!
If you are wanting to replace cards that is fine, but remember you need think abit outside how normal Meta decks are play right now when running this deck, your main objective is to trade till no more. Or to give them card to play before ready cause they might burn a card and take it out before they have a setup.
———————-
You can replace Biology for the “normal Ramp” just know you loose allot turn combos, if you go for a normal Ramp Package, and remove Hadronox you have a more aggersive deck to play with since as I mention Hadronox isn’t the key card in the deck – Like here Typcial game vs a Odd Warrior if you have the deck built more for Agro with the normal Ramp Package, where being Agro is reward. As a Typical person would modify the deck to look like.
(After looking it up it seem to be a Whizbang deck? and this around rank 10 match, but it is classify as a T2 rank recipe )

if you Pref to modify that deck, code will be here.
AAECAZICBKQDkwSZ0wKL4QINQFZf6QHkCJTSAqjSAoTmAovmAvXnAv/nAo3wAp75AgA=
(since the small shake up with the nerf to Giggling Inventor Allot of Decks tiers are changing and i’ll post matchup vids if i run into decently high tier decks as the meta slowly change from how important allot of cards used Giggles.
Matchup
With recent meta shift Forest guide kept filling my hand and ability to use Witching Hour for the Bodyguard system for Dorian with the card draw of Forest guide this deck becomes more of Agro Fatigue deck, you can run into the really late game, and Decks like Odd Warrior that will Eventually Brawl just to have hope in Removing Dorian. And if Dorian stay up, they’ll literally have to trade into him before he protected again.
Example done here
https://hsreplay.net/replay/Xf9EvPbDqWD5yfy7nPobiU
Here a Other Example I was running into allot less mages since the Nerf to Mana Worm which made burn mage less play, and removed the money for a extra cube/faceless.
Found myself vsin’ the “Stolen Research Recipe” from either a person or Whizband deck classify as a T3/2 deck
https://hsreplay.net/replay/DyqzV6mnS7c7MmNjZAo2U7
the Witchwood Awaken deck vs this this (strange deck to run into high tier play must been a whizbanger I assume but none the less useful informations
https://hsreplay.net/replay/orrMAy7FtZTbqnXjMGfrUh
*Why i’m using these as Example as they are base deck that are normally modify around with other decks, I can’t list every weird deck i run into, so using core decksis easier and once the meta has settle down to X deck I can post those match ups as a safer typical match up. and how to Play around.
Here a Game with Taunt Druid around turn 9/10 I should did more of a value trade then sending my tigers back in the deck as it might change my my odd’s drawing my Nat. This was more of my fault then the deck, but this does show how it almost beat Taunt druid which is fear by many people., While it’s a lost, it a learning part of what to do at times in the deck. If I didn’t run my own Naturalize i would run Skulking Geist and I’m still finding card to replace Hadronox with upcoming rotation so it not so dependable to pull more Grizzle from the grave to pull more tigers.
https://hsreplay.net/replay/U34xRPD5VVnwvTKpbMUpM9
here a strange matchup I can’t seem to find this deck the person was using, so I assume it some sort of seld made OTK shudder deck but I fair pretty well on it but it could been scary I guess for someone with lack of taunts to put up. Doll master becomes the MVP in this
https://hsreplay.net/replay/QJhAQeCo7YJCGFJYDCoGDe
Here a Even Shamen , I guy I got kinda lucky they highroll Hadronox, giving me a free 1 basically, but I know I seen a few of these Even shammen that use the legendary i just can’t find any real recent one but like a month ago on this site (as of posting this message/happy halloween)

Ok so many questions for why do you have certain stuff in this deck?
Like cobalt monk x2? Guild recruiter x2? Craine? and Forest guide x2? and starfall x2? why not put in a LK and a
second cube?
Two, where are the 9 mana dragon recruiters to pull out your sleepy dragons? And where is Oakheart?
+ there’s so much negative synergy with Dk mal + Grizzled Guardian with Hadronox and witching hour.
You put in an extra 4 things you don’t wanna rez with ur witching hour..
You have a better shot at countering the meta just playing taunt druid with Hadronox, and subbing in two astral tigers, as a backup win condition (witch is pretty unnecessary)
this deck is pretty much just a wayyy shitter version of witching hour druid, with a bunch of horrible counter productive synergies
Ok so this isn’t taunt druid and you don’t want to pull out card that often
cobalt monkturn your face into anti swipes , and also anti fireballs and etc, good for early game bodies and burn spells that need target face, your making them invest a spell into those monk most the time.
Guild recruiter Generally will pull out a tiger or a 3/6 kobold or the ironwood golem all are solid pulls.
Craine is a Solid body that returns from death so a investment has to be made to kill both of it , even if you trade with Craine you keep something generally on the board.
Starfall is good to help remove a single target big body, or bunch of little guys that might flood the board,
No Lich King cause the body is to big and the ideal of the deck isn’t to return cards like Lich King, infact the attack stay below 5 attack for Priest removals and there no place for a big body with attack.
No 2nd cube cause lack of control ,again the deck star is the Tigers with how pesty they’ll keep coming out. Also the Faceless can act like a Cube if you have control just to make a 2nd cube with tigers.
The Dragons are more of a meh i’ll play something cause why not, when you don’t need tons of minions on the board vsin’ like Spreading plague you’d be surprise how much better it is just to have a Dragon there, I had other verson where I had the 8mana 4/4 that clones cards next to it, but it was hardly use and was less rewarding on mana useage.
Actually while you say there is Negative with DK Mal, you be surprise how wrong you are generally. You hold on to DK mal till you need bodies or already burn witching out on the Grizzled- infact you generally have more likely hood of having the Grizzles pull mroe then anything. Witching hour isn’t for Hadronox at all, NEVER ever rely onthat stupid combo , again this deck focus on the Tigers, I even stated this in the general Bio, this deck star are the tigers with how they keep popin’ out.
I didn’t put 4 things I didn’t want with the Grizzle being the real witching hour target, not Hadronox, this Deck isn’t taunt druid it a meta breaking Druid cause it Doesn’t want rely on a single Card for it plans. Hadronox is a Last resort not the main topic.
As for why I feld off Forest Guide, till now, cause Forest guide is for you to draw and mill cards, If your vsin’ a Control or big hand player burning their cards is the key role where people generally will invest way more stuff to kill the guides leaving the other generally alone, but if you setup control and hold control you shutdown allot of deck that do combos or think trades hurt you.
– I got to legend with this Deck , while you say it “Shit verson of x deck” You con’t say your a “good player” cause you didn’t read how this deck key card is the tigers.
“This Deck is mainly Around the Astral tigers and how flex you can play into most match ups” – Deahty / Learn to read the General information where I clearly stated it.
