(BTW I swapped Mecha’Thun with Ultrasaur, if that wasn’t clear).

So, since there are only 3 new Boomsday project cards in this deck, I thought I would test it out with some Casual games. I figured this deck would be a joke, I would play 5 games and lose them all, and post it on this website. I swapped out 2x Biology Project for 1x Wrath and 1x Greedy Sprite, and queued into a game.

I started out in Casual against an Odd Paladin. I won because Spreading Plague and Swipe are good cards. I then proceeded to beat an Odd Hunter, but it was close and I didn’t like the Starfires in the deck. Starfire is in Malygos Druid to provide a little extra burn, but in this stall-focused deck, it seemed like I kept just Starfiring face to draw a card, so I decided to swap out 2x Starfire, 1x Wrath, and 1x Starfall for one of Druid’s best stall packages, 2x Oaken Summons and 2x Ironwood Golem.

I then handily beat some kind of Murloc Warlock (remember, this was still in Casual) and matched up against a spiteful priest. This is a hard matchup for Druid in general, but I managed to reach Fatigue, had no minions on the board, the combo in my hand…and then I realized UI was the second-to-last card in my deck. Since I was low on health, there was no way I could cast the UI without killing myself, so I conceded the game.

I decided it would be best to take out the second UI and put in the Wrath I had taken out earlier, for more cycle to find the one copy of UI. After beating another Odd Paladin, I was tired of the aggro decks in Casual and switched to Ranked to hopefully be able to pull off the Mecha-Thun combo one time.

In Ranked, at rank 9, I played a Midrange Hunter and won. After subsequently beating an Inner Fire Priest, a Tempo Mage, and a Zoolock without using my Mecha’Thun combo at all, and getting to rank 7 (rank 7!) with just the Druid shell, I finally played a Control Warlock. Despite the close call of having my one UI be the fourth-to-last card in my deck, I actually managed to play my Ultrasaur, Innervate, Naturalize, and concede with no cards in hand, deck, or battlefield. Finally.

So this deck is better than I originally thought, although probably any sort of Combo, Value, or deck that runs Demonic Project will destroy it. My changes were: -2 Starfire -1 Ultimate Infestation -1 Starfall +2 Oaken Summons +2 Ironwood Golem. And that’s how I managed to climb 2 ranks with Mecha’Thun Druid before Mecha’Thun was even released.

Remember when a 2 mana 1/2 that drew a card was so good it got nerfed? Well, now we have a 1 mana 2/1 that draws a card. Can’t see how this is not INSANE, especially in arena.

It hurts human intelligence that you didn’t try this out before commenting. If you use siphon soul on a lightwarden, it gains 3 health first, as I mentioned above. Do you have any reason to believe it works otherwise?
