How we search for decks
Go to HearthPwn.com. Click on Decks and choose the class you are interested in. On the page that comes up you have a TON of options to filter out decks. If you don’t have a lot of cards, I would recommend that you go down to Additional Filters and choose ‘Basic’. This will select decks that are primarily made up of basic cards. Click on Filter to apply your new options. Look at the first few decks that come up on the list and see what cards it has that you don’t have. For example, if they have Cairne Bloodhoof. Then on the filter area on the search page, click on the box under Doesn’t Contain and then add Cairne Bloodhoof. Do this for the cards you don’t have and that will eliminate a bunch of decks that have those cards.
Class Overview – Druid
The Druid is another unique class in that it’s the only class that has some cards that give you choices when you play them, a mechanic called Choose One. For example, when you play Druid of the Claw, you choose one of two options. Charge or +2 Health and Taunt for that specific minion. The end result is either a Druid of the Claw that is a 4/4 minion with charge or a Druid of the Claw with 4/6 and Taunt.
One way that I look at the Druid class is a mixture between a Priest, Warrior and Hunter. The Hero power adds Armor, they can heal themselves and they are frequently fast and aggressive. Plus they have lots of beastial minions but they don’t get an advantage with Beasts.
The Druid Hero ability is called Shapeshift. It costs 2 mana and adds +1 attack this turn and +1 Armor. The nice thing about the hero ability is that the Armor will stick around after the turn and can stack up like a Warrior’s does. The 1 attack doesn’t sound like a major amount of damage, but when combined with the 1 shield, you can take out smaller minions without worrying too much about it.
Druids are a lot of fun to play and they add a ton of options with the Choose one mechanic. Another major advantage is their ability to clear the board. Using cards like Wrath (Choose one: Deal 3 damage to a minion or 1 damage and draw a card), Swipe (Deal 4 damage to an enemy and 1 damage to all other enemies) or Starfall (Choose one – Deal 5 damage to a minion or 2 damage to all enemy minions) you can keep your opponent uncomfortable and unsure what is going t...
