Asmodeus is an incredible Hearthstone player and content creator. He's made one of the most important documents for new players.
You can find that e-book here: https://www.scribd.com/document/286854431/Asmodeus-The-Complete-Guide-for-Hearthstone-Player-2-0 He also posts deck content on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/user/AsmodeusClips
But above all, he's a great coach and I suggest getting a session from him if you want to take your game to the next level: https://www.gamersensei.com/r/07a93b
And of course, deck code for this token druid variant which does very well vs the slower control decks in the meta like warrior. Rush your climb with it.

Hearthstone Deck Tech| S01 E18| ODD ROGUE Let's go through a little bit about odd rogue, and how we can modify the deck for the new nerfs.
Today we look at two fringe decks. ChumpHS' Star aligner STANDARD DRUID, and zEtalot's most recent quest priest list. I am going with zeta's most recent list today because I feel the interaction between coffin crasher and obsidian statue is one that the designers really wanted to push, and I think the deck is pretty fun! There are a few changes that I want to make to it, but I won't suggest the changes till I've played with them.
The second deck is a star aligner druid deck in standard! fun stuff for sure! I have not thought about fitting juicy psychmelon and am not sure if there's any reason to as it only grabs 2 cards.

Today we talk about success, and how to measure it so that we don't end the month feeling dejected.
Hearthstone Deck Tech| S01 E14| TOGWAGGLE GUIDE
In depth Togwaggle talk. Do you agree? What package do you like more? Oaken summons or MCT?
Today we do something different. Today we talk about some fundamental principles that will improve your Hearthstone experience and help you play better. Check it out. Do you agree?
On this episode, Ken gives you 4 decks to counter a perceived control Meta. If you face a lot of odd warrior or slower decks, definitely play one of these lists. If you face a more midrange or aggressive lineup, think of trying zoo, odd paladin or odd rogue instead.
