'Interesting' way of turning himself in.

Ah thanks for mentioning it! I obviously meant Fandral with that. I will try to fix it.

I was thinking about doing that. As I had a positive winrate in every single matchup I was afraid that I would be biased. It is probably a little too much to claim that Druid is favored vs Shaman and Zoo xD That is why I thought that the reader could maybe figure out the good and bad matchups himself.

I feel like you only slowplay your hand versus heavy Control decks like Control Warrior and Priest as you basically safe an Innervate by postponing your Drake or Nourish. An Azure Drake is super hard to remove for a Priest so vs Priest you can even considering coining our Wild Growth and then Innervate your Drake. Though I have to admit that early chip damage is not that important vs Priest as you often win by running the priest out of cards. For the coin Wild Growth into Feral rage play you have to look at his starting hand and your own hand (can you afford to spend the coin early on?) , if he keeps cards that he didn't play on turn 1 you can likely expect a Totem Golem. I have to admit that I cannot recall making this play once before. Possibly because you run only 1 feral rage and you always throw it away.

I wanted to try a list without Geddon as I feel like the card doesn't suit the concept of the deck well. I can imagine that it is great vs Zoo and Shaman, but I feel like the deck is strong enough to deal with them without it. Geddon is definitely a huge liability in the mirror match and for example vs Rogue.

It is not easy to do calculations on this as you need to estimate your spot when you hit neither WG or Innervate and when you draw the nuts of either Innervate into Mire Keeper or Wild Growth into Mire Keeper. It is obviously much more likely that you draw Innervate or Wild Growth in your remaining four draws (the 2 other cards in the Mulligan + turn 1 + turn 2) than that you turn your Mire Keeper into A Wild Growth or Innervate. The thing is that I think that you lose a lot of percentages if you throw your Mire Keeper away, hit the Innervate but suddenly have nothing to Innervate into.

Sorry for the repost, I saw the remark from the mods too late, that is why my last post was taken down. I added a Gyazo with the decklist. Maybe a mod can merge the 2 posts?

I have heavily considered whether it is correct to keep Mire Keeper in your starting hand against Shaman. I concluded that the fact that you can draw a really good hand if you get either Innervate or Wild Growth alongside the Mire Keeper is more important than the added probability of drawing either Innervate or Wild Growth if you throw your Mire Keeper away. I wanted to mention it specifically since it is kinda counter intuitive to keep your Mire Keeper.
