Taunt Druid (Also known as Plague Druid or Hadronox Druid) is a Druid deck type. It can be built based on either a Token Druid frame and summon many smaller Taunt minions or a control deck focused around  Hadronox, which uses only a few middle to high-cost Taunt minions to get the most value out of Hadronox and get more uses out of it with  Witching Hour,  Carnivorous Cube, and  Da Undatakah.

 Master Oakheart is commonly used to activate a Dragon package with  Dragonhatcher,  Drakkari Enchanter, and a few big dragons such as  Ysera and  Primordial Drake, this use of Oakheart usually includes lower-cost 3-attack minions such as  Greedy Sprite and  Bright-Eyed Scout, since usually over 20 mana worth of stats are put on board the turn Oakheart is played. The second use of Oakheart is cheating out Mosh'ogg Enforcer, and  Hadronox early, with this package usually including no other 3-attack minions.
