Our extensive guide to playing Token Druid in the Barrens meta.

Token Druid is aHearthstonedeck that we’ve seen riding high in most metas since the dawn of Hearthstone. It’s a really powerful deck in the right hands, and we recommend hopping on the hype train if you haven’t tried it already.

This build uses primarily spells to generate tokens, rather than stacking your deck with a bunch of small minions. This is because of the enormous power level ofFungal Fortunes, which draws you three cards for as much mana (provided you don’t hit aGibberling). Here’s how you should be looking to play Token Druid.

General strategy

Trading is often not ideal. You don’t want to be wasting damage when it could be going face, so only do so if the enemy is threatening lethal (or a board clear likeRas Frostwhisper), or if there’s a Taunt in your way.

Mid game:Keep getting your board nice and wide, setting up for future turns with aSoul of the Forestto keep your minions sticky and resistant to board clears. Remember, as soon as you have a few minions stay in play ready to attack, buff them up with something like Pride’s Fury orArbor Up, and you’ll be a great deal closer to victory.

Board clears are scary at this point, so combining aSolar Eclipsewith a Pride’s Fury to double up on it really helps to remove the threat.

Token Druid tips, card combos and synergies

It’s a fairly straightforward deck, but these are some of the important combos to Token Druid:

  • If you castSolar EclipsebeforeSoul of the Forestyou get two times the number of Treants summoned as a Deathrattle. This means you can turn a board of three minions into a board of six with their Deathrattles, further disincentivising your opponent from killing them off.

  • Be careful with your mana. Several times, we’ve accidentally castLunar Eclipsebefore usingInnervateorLightning Bloomto get to the play we actually want to make. This ruins theLunar Eclipseeffect, as it only discounts thenextspell you play, regardless of whether it costs zero mana or not.

-Fungal Fortuneswill almost always draw you three cards for three mana, unless you’re unlucky enough to draw out one of your twoGibberlings. If you do that, they’ll get discarded.

-Arbor Upcan be played on an empty board if needed - the two 2/2 Treants summoned will also benefit from the buff and turn into 4/3s.

  • Count out the spells in your hand before playingGlowfly Swarm- you get a single 2/2 for each.

-Nature Studiescan be played on turn three, and can discountGlowfly SwarmorArbor Upfor an early play on turn four.
