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 Savage Roar, Power of the Wild, or Arbor 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 Knight of the Wild, Frostsaber Matriarch, and Umbral Owl.
The deck's early board presence with cards like Druid of the Reef or Thorngrowth Sentries combined with Adorable Infestation or Composting gives Beast Druid immediate tempo and value to start. One of the most impactful cards of the deck, Oracle 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.
