Beast Druid is a Druid deck type. Beast druid is a board-centric deck that focuses on getting early board control and snowballing it into a win, using cards like LegacySavage Roar, LegacyPower of the Wild, or Madness at the Darkmoon FaireArbor Up. Unlike pure Aggro Druid, Beast Druid builds a more mid-range style, focusing more on discounting and copying high-cost payoff cards, such as The Grand TournamentKnight of the Wild, Fractured in Alterac ValleyFrostsaber Matriarch, and Madness at the Darkmoon FaireUmbral Owl.

The deck's early board presence with cards like United in StormwindDruid of the Reef or Forged in the BarrensThorngrowth Sentries combined with Scholomance AcademyAdorable Infestation or United in StormwindComposting gives Beast Druid immediate tempo and value to start. One of the most impactful cards of the deck, United in StormwindOracle of Elune allows you to either copy your low-cost Beasts early, or save it to copy your discounted big minions later in the game for massive board presence.

Beast Druid was especially prominent in Standard during the Year of the Gryphon, but is still a decent contender in the Year of the Hydra.
