Hearthstone Deck Tech| S02 E06| Token Druid with Asmodeus

Hearthstone Deck Tech| S02 E06| Token Druid with Asmodeus

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:
www.scribd.com/document/286854431/Asmodeus-The-Complete-Guide-for-Hearthstone-Player-2-0
He also posts deck content on youtube here: 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: 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.
