GUIDE
- Mulligan : Always Wild Growth, Jade Blossom in order to accelerate your mana and snowball. If you already have one of these cards, keep Mire Keeper.
Against Aggro Wrath, eventually Swipe, Tar Creeper
- Mid/Late game: You just need to tempo the game until your Jade Golems are stong enough while maintaining control of the board.
You also need lots of draw (Nourish, Ultimate Infestation which can come earlier thant T10 but always take care to overdraw)
Spreading Plague is here in order to tempo against aggro and mid if they are too aggresive in early game (Hello Medivh, the Guardian).
Jade Idol is the key! As the part advances, your Jade Golems will be bigger and bigger and give you the best late game (as always, with druid you can have your late game while you opponent just plays his T5 ♥). Infinite Jade Idol prevent you from fatigue! You need to recycle them and you'll flood the board with strong minions (until 30/30 💀💀).
Most of the time, you put your 1st Jade Idol on the board. But for the 2nd one, you have to make a choice: do you need some pressure on the board right now? Are you going to fatigue?
- Any replacement for..:
- Fandral Staghelm or Aya Blackpaw : No! You just have too much pressure and synergies with this 2 cards. Fandral Staghelm with Jade Idol, Wrath, Nourish.. is so multi-purpose.
- Lots of ajustments are possible: Acidic Swamp Ooze, Golakka Crawler , Dirty Rat, The Lich King, Medivh, the Guardian, Kun the Forgotten King ...
Even Kolento adapts his decklist depending on the matchups.. (you can use updates in order to cut/add adapted cards ).

I am not so sure about Medivh, the Guardian... Does it really fit in the deck? I mean, you can get a 10 mana minion from UI, but it looks kinda lucky and slow, I don't know...
Also, I don't feel very good with 2 Ultimate Infestation... It can make me have some heavy cards early on, and also have too much cards on hand to play another one without overdrawing.
How can u replace Kun in this deck? I've teched in Black Knight so far but are there any better options I don't see? :)
This ^^
so black knight is just fine? :D
an dlikemost " top decks" if you dont get good RNG aka anythign to clear or ANY jades you lose
What do you think about Naturalize in this deck? There are a lot of greedy decks, such as priest and quest mage, which are often at 8+ cards, and against aggro it wouldn't make much of a difference since, if you survive, you win later anyway. Thoughts?
What would be more important to add first: Medivh, the Guardian or Kun the Forgotten King?
I would also love to see an answer/recommendation for this, as I do not have enough dust at the moment...
[card]Medivh, the Guardian[/card] is more important than [card]Kun the Forgotten King[/card]. Indeed you can play it in other deck and it is really strong with high-cost spells
Well played! Very good deck!
WE COO ? cmonBruh
I change Medivh, the Guardian with Gadgetzan Auctioneer
Maybe i'll change it to The Lich King later, i don't have Medivh yet and i think Gadgetzan might help a bit.
I also -1 Mind Control Tech with -/+1 Tar Creeper or +1 Stonehill Defender
What do you guys think?
Card draw is really high and sometimes I died because of fatigue... I've replaced Tar Creeper with Prince Malchezaar. What do you think? It helps me a lot against all decks with Skulking Geist, especially priests.
I got ass cancer playing with this deck.
I was at the same cross road a month ago and I did UIi Fandral & Aya. I was at level 15, now... the same level 15.
If you ask my advice, keep out of jade deck. It's really annoniying to see that there is still no jade card although the game reaches mana 10. I got 9 cards which have ability to create jade and many games I don't get it till mana 10. 9 cards means that 30 % of the deck has jade but believe me many times yo'll surprised where it is.
I believe Blizzard try to reduce the jade druid usage. To do that they found Skulking Geist, upcoming update will be reduce the effect of some druid cards. So I think it's waste of dust to spend to make a jade deck. I did it and I'm not happy.
But if you insist to do that, you have to do Aya. Fandral... I spend 1600 dust to make him live only 1 turn. Believe me he will stsy only 1 turn and you will use him 2-3 times if you have lucky enough.
You're probably just playing the deck incorrectly, and relying too much on Fandral. He's not supposed to be all-powerful, just supposed to get you one or two cards that can choose 2. Very few decks on ladder consist of insufficient removal to get rid of a 3/5. Cards like shadow word pain, wrath, heroic strike, shadow bolt, jade lightning, and many others can wipe out Fandral with little to no support, and make you feel like you wasted your dust on your legendary.
However, if your opponent didn't draw the answer to Fandral, then playing him turn four into nourish turn five, or wrath + jade idol, or any other choose one card, makes him more valuable than a lot of other cards in this deck. In comparison, look at cards such as Prophet Velen, Frothing Berserker, or Gadgetzan Auctioneer. These are all very important cards to their deck type, and most of the time they get removed just as easily, even Velen as a 7/7. Fandral gets as much as or even more value than the cards I just listed, and can also win you games if left up for only 1 turn or even if removed. Sometimes the opponent has to use more resources than they would like to to deal with your Fandral, and that alone can greatly alter the course of games.
Since the original post was about what to replace Fandral with though, I'd like to mention some cards I used before I had Fandral for Jade Druid. You basically want to go for cheap high value cards, so Stonehill Defender works, Earthen Scales can work, as well as Mire Keeper, Druid of the Claw, Strongshell Scavenger, or even Kun the Forgotten King if you have him, since in a way he's a 0 mana 7/7 once you reach 10 mana. You could simply add in a tech card like Golakka Crawler or Hungry Crab if you're seeing aggro decks a lot, and Doomsayer can ensure you get to late game against aggro decks. If you have Gluttonous Ooze it could help a lot, or Big Game Hunter. Most of these replacements should also be good for Aya Blackpaw, however she's more important to the deck than Fandral Staghelm. I hope anyone who read this has had some help with budgeting their deck.
I did this deck except Medivh cause I don't have. I replace him with The Lich King but I'm still lvl 15 and I can not effort to move up. I don't understand why ? Maybe it's just bad luck may be I suffered to survive at early game if I don't have ramp up cards at the beginning.
Priest is really headache and actually I regret to spend my 4500 dust to create jade instead of Priest one.
Nah man, you're just bad, Medivh is not even a crucial must have card for this deck. When a deck is this strong you can't blame it if you don't get the resuslts.
