The Druid is my favourite mage, she is really powerful once treeboned (going from average to excellent). She has great board control, her plants are cheap and strong, some pretty awesome conjurations and Barkskin is one of my favourite cards.
I've had some pretty good success with the Druid using the Vine Tree so thought I'd try the Samara Tree.
Suggestions welcome.

Turn 1: 20 mana deploy vine marker in same zone, QC Samara Tree main phase cast Harmonise on tree.
Turn 2: 19 mana and two on Tree. Deploy vine marker in adjacent zone. Deploy Pod on first vine marker. QC Pod in adjacent zone. main phase cast Tataree.
Turn 3: 19 mana, two on tree and one on each pod. deploy vine marker. deploy pod using a vine marker. QC either Druids Leaf Ring/ Life tree (if playing Necro or low creature build). main phase. Tataree to put a mana on pod in starting zone. 16/11 mana cast face down nulify on self.
Turn 4: lets say we cast the ring. 24 mana two on tree, three on one pod, two on another and one on the last. deploy vine marker. deploy pod using a vine marker. At this point I can cast anything in the book
As you can see this build generates mana pretty quick. I know the pods are fragile but they are cheap and have cantrip so meh. If the opponent concentrates on killing your pods, then you can hard cast what plants you need to kill him and if not let your garden flourish.
