Aggressively mulligan for the ramp, as usual, and also the early game minions, such as DOTS.
I was looking at the currently incomplete set for druid and thought I might build a deck to see if it looked ok. If you could comment below with your thoughts I would find this helpful. Thanks for reading 🙂
Interesting deck. I can tell you right now, this would be a nightmare to try and deal with using any of the decks I currently play. My biggest question is why you have 2x Earthen Scales and 2x Branching Paths. It sort of depends what you are using Branching Paths for. Are you aiming to draw cards? Nourish would probably be better since you can ramp if you need to, it draws one extra card, and it is insane with Arcane Tyrant. If you are running it for the armor gain, then I think 2x Ultimate Infestation and 2x Earthen Scales is plenty. However, I do see how it works with the Jasper Spellstone card. Having burst damage from it is also pretty good. In this deck, you would most likely either use it as a Shield Block, an Arcane Intellect, or a better Greater Healing Potion. I might consider removing 1x Earthen for 1x Nourish to make the deck more consistent. Overall, cool idea! Really hope I don’t have to fight this version of the deck on the ladder in a week.
Cheers!
Thank you for the response. I can see now how having two of branching paths might be a bit too inconsistent. To be honest I was trying to add all the new druid cards in, and as many of them as possible. The idea was to have as much flexibility as possible, so that if you gained board, you could push, if you were low on health you could “Heal” for 12 etc. Again thanks for the quick response.
New druid cards are pretty good in this deck except Lesser Jasper Spellstone I think, Branching paths doesn’t guarantee you will gain armor and you will certainly have to wait for the DK to upgrade this spell, would be more interesting to play Gnash or the other 3 mana spell (forgot the name lol). Thus in such deck Fandral is a “must-have” on my opinion but maybe you don’t have it. Good choices whatever 🙂
Yeah, the spellstone is a little underwhelming, though my hope is that the cards in this deck will all prove useful. Thanks for the comment 🙂
In my opinion, the Lesser Jasper Spellstone is pretty good. You have to accept that you will most likely only level it up once. Even then, it’s 1 mana 4 damage. Compare that Warlock’s Shadow Bolt, which also sees play and costs 3 mana. Also, I didn’t mean that Branching Paths was bad, I just meant that you had a large amount of armor gain and less ways to consistently draw cards. Which is why I suggested the Earthen Scales replacement instead. Cheers!
