Very interesting to see the standard midrange Druid there from the Innovation guys. It was very popular before Naxx but then with Haunted Creeper people switched to Token and more recently Druid was always either Ramp or the Kolento version. Nice to see that a simple standard Druid can also still be very strong. They just replaced the Argent Commanders that were popular before Naxx with Spectral Knights and of course added Loatheb.

I always liked playing this deck and I had my best ever tournament result with it but since all the pros switched to the other versions I mentioned after Naxx came out I thought this one probably isn't so great anymore and I stopped using it as well. I am happy to see that I was wrong and I will definitely try playing it again because I didn't have so much success with the other versions personally.

Edit: The Azure Drakes and Bloodmage from before Naxx are also gone. Really not a lot of card draw in there but I guess the Kolento version is the same and it has even smaller minions.

Reynad did well in a tourney? Is this real life?

Very interesting difference between the Thijs Druid and the Innovation Druid. Innovation Druid ran double Combo, Thijs Druid ran single Combo and double War, and both versions went for two Spectral Knights.

Just some information about my decks, i used my Druid to counter all the miracle rogues, and i think i won vs 3 miracles without losing, and it has also a decent matchup vs Hunter if they don't get god draws. In control matchups it's a bit weak because i don't run cards like Big Game Hunter or Black Knight.
My priest did really well, it went 3-0 1 or 2 times, and made 1 comeback after being 1-2 behind.
The hunter is just what the hunter does sadly, just so strong in every matchup and hard to counter.

I'll have to see that Miracle in action to believe it, because other than a giant Edwin, I do not see any win condition there.
