You may go against a billion Druid decks during your time with Hearthstone, but the class is one of the strongest thanks to its flexibility.
Several Druid-exclusive cards have two abilities which the player must choose when they play the card. Some of these — such as Druid of the Claw, Mark of the Wild, and Mark of Nature — allow the player to choose whether they want to be offensive or defensive on the fly, making the class difficult to predict and tricky to counter.
Many of the Druid’s minions also provide options when played. This, the offensive and defensive choices, and the class’s Shapeshift hero power all make the Druid just as difficult to play well as it is to defeat.
The card list below includes the Druid’s minions and spell cards in the current build of Hearthstone (1.0.0.3939), including those spawned by other abilities. Those that are not collectible are noted as such.
Keep in mind cards noted as being ‘Basic’ are those the player receives by default as they level their hero.
