The best druid I ever played was actually a sorcerer. I'll explain.
In my wife's homebrew campaign setting, there was an evil witch in the woods who was stealing children and turning them into trees. The heroes fought the witch and were victorious, and many of the children were rescued...but they weren't fast enough to save them all. Some children were warped by the magic the witch was using...and some were fully transformed into trees.
Then several months after that quest ended, there was a TPK. Alas, these things happen.
So our DM, my wife, advanced the campaign timeline 15 years, and told us to roll up new characters. I asked if I could play as one of "the green kids," one of the kids who had been warped by the witch's magic. They said sure, that sounded awesome, and recommended that I play an Eladrin since it was the best fit for the campaign. Well, I took the idea and ran with it.
I rolled up a sorcerer, and asked if I could pull my spells off of the Druid spell list instead of the Sorcerer list. My wife said "Sure, a metamagic druid sounds awesome" and allowed it. Then I asked if I could use the Fey-Touched origin (from DM's Guild), and again they said "Sure, that sounds awesome."
It was one of the best not-druid Druids I've ever played. The moral of the story: marry an awesome DM.
