[Hearthstone] Midrange Druid

[ihop]

 

Been playing this bad boy for a few days now and I'm in love with it. I love being able to slap big minions on the board constantly during the lategame and Swipe is one of my favourite cards in the game just because of how intelligently it encourages both players to play. It's also nice to be able to actually beat Warlock after playing Tempo Mage for ages, especially because there's a bunch of it on the ladder atm (although, unfortunately, a lot of Tempo Mage as well which is close to being an auto-forfeit).

 

My main questions are about the 5 drops, I'm kinda just running 1 of everything good and seeing what happens but idk what the optimal ratio is there. I'll probably replace one of them with a Sylvanas when I get one anyway.

Thoughts on Mounted Raptor vs Shade of Naxx? Mounted Raptor is great and keeping most things up to turn 4 at bay while also having a little guy pop so it's great for setting up Savage still.

 

Also I think you can probably just cut a Belcher for the 2nd Azure tbh, it seems better generally since the cantrip is more important than protecting your face 9/10 and Spell Damage Swipe is one of the best cards in the game so.

Raptor is really mediocre imo. The 1-drops it leaves are often so small that they're just going to die to pings and stuff, unless you get something like Mana Wyrm, Flame Imp or Injured Kvaldir it really wasn't worth it. At least Shade more or less guarantees 3 damage on the next turn whereas Raptor doesn't really guarantee anything.

 

Belcher for Drake makes sense though, Belcher's just an inferior Druid of the Claw anyway.
