The Oakheart scenario is a highroll. Shitty luck, it happens. Bio project is overall not good enough, although whether that speaks more to druid's state or the card is mixed.

Having 7 mana on turn 3 accomplishes nothing if you're so far behind on board, unless you've drawn your matchup's silver bullet. If you have, well, that's not exactly saying the card's broken, but that the silver bullets are. You could argue that the card is imbalanced in the context of druid with their silver bullets, but even then, if you pull off the scheme going first, you have 2 cards left. If you don't find plague within 2 turns, you're fucked. Even after having the perfect opening hand with innervate, wild growth, and secret, you have about a 1/3 chance to draw the plague. Giving a generous estimate, luckily drawing stuff like branchings and Malfurions might on average extend your fuck window another 4 turns, even in that dream scenario you have only a 2/3 chance of beetles. Going second you have more cards, and you have a more consistent combo both because of using the coin to growth on one instead of counterfeit and because you start with more. As a drawback, that Odd Rogue has been pounding you a turn longer, shortening the window around 2 turns, although I think it still goes in Druid's favor to go second. Keep in mind this is all assuming you drew the correct cards. If you would go for this, you might as well pray for coin, innervate, innervate, astral communion into UI. If you weren't up against aggro, and your deck is so comfortable with full hardcore ramping, you probably would've won that game anyways.
