Hmm! Interesting question- why wouldn't you pick Warden over Magician for a Druid? 1 extra Druid Cantrip vs Medium Armor and Martial Weapons. Seems like a no brainer choice- you pick the armor and weapon all the time? That way you don't have to invest as much into DEX to have great AC meaning you can focus more on your Wisdom in the long run? Plus if you got True Strike from a feat or whatever, you could use a weapon with Wisdom.
Unless you explicitly want to be good at Arcana and Nature Checks.
