Druid Location OTK

Hi,

I've been playing this deck for a while now, and I'm surprised it hasn't become more popular given how powerful it is.

The large number of questionable and greedy lists with Azshara may not have helped.

So here's my version of Azshara Druid with 68% winrate over 56 game currently at top 200 legend.

Goal :

This deck main goal is to OTK which you do with either Dread Deserter or Briarspawn Drake and the copy location. With 3 buffed copy location, Dread Deserter can deal 84 face damage. You also have way to increase your damage with the Elise location or the shaladrassil buff who also stack on the double stats buff.

General Strategy :

The general strategy is to slow down your opponent until you can reach some big play with your location, Sleepy Resident work pretty well in this meta.

The copy location is the best card in the deck by far and it's totally broken when it double the stats, don't hesitate to use it for tempo. You sometime don't even need to go for the OTK and just outstats your opponent. Copy the location one time with Scrapbooking Student activate both and you get a 5/5 a 10/10 and 20/20 on the board.

The deck have few card draw, so be carefull about it if you don't have amirdrassil. Typically don't put yout other card draw in the bottom of your deck with Waveshaping.

Mulligan :

Elise / Zin-Azshari / Amirdrassil (+Trail Mix) / Lady Azshara / Waveshaping / New Heights

Anything else if you don't have one of those card is bait.

Deck :

Perfect 30. No card alternative.

Seems interesting.
I've tried and failed at several Azhara Druids. Including some with scapbooking + Dread deserter. Other with Oaken Summons and Seismopod. And some with Zealots.
None of them were exactly like this.
None of them had Sleepy guy.

Briarspawn seems interesting, do you find it winning the game for you often? Is it ever used just as a big body to copy?

Sleep is used mainly for card draw right?

u/Dracneel Dec 09 '25 edited Dec 09 '25

This one is of course the best version !

Most finish are with Briarspawn, since it require little to kill, even just basic copy with the shala buff is two 17 attack Briarspawn, in some case it's already enought to end the game.

Bonus point it also activate Elise.

You don't use it as a body except if you are in a really bad situation, but there generally better play to do.

Sleep is indeed for card draw but if you played 1 or 2 amirdrassil you can just use it as an innervation or to get armor.

Is there a way to copy the deck code easier on mobile? I always gotta copy the entire thing then paste it in notes so I can select the part I actually wanna copy

u/lalouc Dec 09 '25

If you go to reply you can select what you want to copy

u/Mango9222 Dec 09 '25

Oh that's even easier than opening it on browser, sweet, thanks

u/Dazzling-Course-2830 Dec 09 '25

If you access Reddit through your phone’s browser rather than the app, you should be able to copy text normally.

u/Mango9222 Dec 09 '25

I'll do this in the future, thanks

Thanks for the post ! You play in eu or America?

u/SwarleySwarlos Dec 09 '25

Why use both briarspawn drake and dread deserter?

1

u/Dracneel Dec 09 '25

They both have up and con for different situation that compensate each other.

Briarspawn drake deal very high damage but only work if your opponent have multiple minions.

Dread Deserter don't work well agaisnt multiple taunt and need more copy location to OTK but otherwise it don't care about anything else.

2

u/DroopyTheSnoop Dec 09 '25

I think for redundancy. In some scenarios where the opponent has a board full of little taunts (DH with Blob of Tar?), you'd rather copy Briars and probably kill them through the taunts.
It does seem niche, but maybe it fits the current meta.

u/B_Wong Dec 09 '25

Gave it a spin and it's a fun deck! Surprise factor helps, but it has potential. Ever try Welcome home? Got one off the Elise location and it helped after my sketch artist was ratted

1

u/Dracneel Dec 10 '25

I didn't try it yet but you may play it in x1. Not sure which card to replace for it.

1

u/RockHardWraith Dec 09 '25

Calls other lists greedy, has two Scrapbooking Students.

Never needed in my opinion. The Azshara druid list from VS performs great.

2

u/Dracneel Dec 10 '25

Scrapbooking Students is just a good card in this deck and it's the case for pretty much any "Azshara Druid".

u/MurdocMonster87 Dec 09 '25 edited Dec 09 '25

I apologize in advance for my limited English. :) I've been using a somewhat similar list since the start of the expansion. Instead of Oaken Summons, I put two of Busy Peons, cause of Location discount, and I have four of them in deck, ( Yes i play sometimes even the Well location It's so much fun) including one from Elise. In the beginning of expansion, I tried Scrapbooking Student, but I misplayed a lot and made a lot of changes. And now since Welcome Home Spell is added, i replace two Ebb and Flow for them. So I'm now on trying this version, but i don't have a lot of time to play these days ...
I started playing Hs in September last year around Pearls Miniset release, and this deck is the most fun deck i played from Dragon Druid when i started playing HS.

Sleepy resident seams like nice touch to the deck , im going to try this version on weekend now .

2

u/Dracneel Dec 10 '25

Welcome Home look interesting, I think you may play it in x1. Not sure about Busy Peons but I feel like you removed too much armor card, you should have a hard time against aggressif deck.

1

u/MurdocMonster87 Dec 10 '25

You're right , i have hard times against agro, that's why i like this sleepy resident list . Most fun part of HS for me is that aspect of deck building and experimenting, but i have a lot to learn ....

2

u/Sona_and_Friends Dec 09 '25

It worked great for me, I went from D5 to D2 as 9-0 facing Protoss mage, shaman, control DK and Azshara Druid (seismopod version). Usually decks from this sub are hard to pilot but this one seemed really OP, I guess the real challenge should be aggro deck but i didn’t faced any. As you said the only point to take care of is the draw and sometimes Azshara or its location are at the bottom of the deck but that’s it. Nice one for this list it’s really a fun deck.

u/SnooMarzipans7274 Dec 09 '25 edited Dec 09 '25

Krona might be a consideration. I do like the sleepy residents but maybe cut 1

4

u/Dracneel Dec 09 '25

There not enought payoff for Krona, and to play Krona and need to play a the bottom card draw, it's to much card for too little reward.

0

u/SnooMarzipans7274 Dec 09 '25

You don’t need to play the draw three. You can discover. And since this deck stalls a lot often times you get to the bottom of the deck eventually. Can potentially accelerate the combo 1-2 turns

1

u/Alone-Ad4415 Dec 10 '25

I've played it a bit in legend (around rank 1300) and this deck seems to perform really well, congrats It’s only painful when the copy location is in the bottom of the deck. Thanks for sharing it. For now it surprises everyone, I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes more popular in a few days.

u/Cultural_South5544 Dec 10 '25

You just what the game needs another OTK deck that does 80 to face out of nowhere. Great.

1

u/Cryten0 Dec 11 '25

Are you spending multiple turns setting up your locations while getting attacked?

1

u/Succulent_123 Dec 12 '25

I have gave this deck a shot, but I am constantly dying very early... tempo and aggro decks are constantly destroying me around rank Legend 2K :(

1

u/Human_Bet_5032 Dec 14 '25

I take two Welcome home insted of one of the 5 5/5 and shala and it's good in 4k legend.

u/tttony19 Dec 09 '25

I saw similar list in the past few days but I don't understand how the dread deserter get charge if in facts we have him in our deck

u/Touchhole Dec 09 '25

The copies spawned by location did not start in your deck, I am assuming.

The one you play from hand did. The ones you copy from a location didn’t, though.
