Combo Druid (and its variants Malygos Druid, Togwaggle Druid, Star Aligner Druid, and Gonk Druid) is a combo-based Druid deck type.

The various versions of Combo Druid use different win conditions. LegacyMalygos Druid is a traditional combo deck that uses Malygos with cheap spells to deal lethal damage, often multiplying Malygos in the process as well. On the other hand, Togwaggle Druid relies on the opponent's win condition and fatigue damage. After drawing out most or all of their deck, they switch their depleted deck for their opponent's while also copying their hand while stalling out and let fatigue damage kill the opponent. Star Aligner Druid uses The Boomsday ProjectStar Aligner and an 8-mana minion with 7 Health so The Boomsday ProjectJuicy Psychmelon can draw a majority of the combo pieces as well as cards that can reuse Star Aligner's Battlecry to burst down the opponent. Gonk Druid uses multiple copies of Rastakhan's RumbleGonk, the Raptor to build up attacks by using your hero to kill several enemy minions, aiming to OTK the opponent with multiple direct attacks.

The archetype contains lots of card draw and Armor, AoE removal, and stall cards like Knights of the Frozen ThroneSpreading Plague and NaxxramasPoison Seeds to buy time.

These combos normally cost too much mana to achieve on their own but there are multiple ways to cheat out their costs. The Boomsday ProjectDreampetal Florist is used to greatly discount one of their combo pieces, while The Boomsday ProjectFlobbidinous Floop lets you play a 4-mana Malygos the turn after. In Wild, The Grand TournamentAviana followed by Mean Streets of GadgetzanKun the Forgotten King are used to refill your mana and turn your expensive minions into 1-cost minions. Less reliable supplementary options include Kobolds & CatacombsTwig of the World Tree and Journey to Un'GoroJungle Giants.

While Combo Druid decks are possible in Standard, they are most powerful in Wild, making it an iconic Wild archetype with fringe Standard play.
