The deck used by Kolento in top 100 Legend. I got legend twice using his decks (from rank 5 onwards). I don`t have time to grind the legend every month, but I get to 5 for the rewards.
It`s an easy deck to play until 5, and if you have the time even until legend.
Since I reached rank 5 using this deck and until end of January season Kolento might have made some changes. Every ranking bracket has its differences, for instance at level 20 you`ll meet more random decks whilst at 10 more control or fully aggro-face oriented decks, and in legend there are all kinds of decks, so he rotates depending on the match-ups.
As play style always ramp-up and try to use Jades as early as possible. I almost never shuffled Jade Idols, and neither does he, unless heavy control match-ups and opponent has no more cards. Remember, this deck doesn`t include Gadgetzan Auctioneer so your draw is affected should you shuffle.
I don`t use any trackers for my games, but I will post mulligan and favourable match-ups:
- Vs. Pirate Warrior - game is favourable if you can ramp steadily and remove his important cards , such as Small-Time Buccaneer and Frothing Berserker. The sooner your mana crystals go up, the earlier you can play your taunts. And never give up, I won many games with 1-2 health left because I had my walls in their way.
Always mulligan for Innervate Jade Blossom Wrath and Jade Idol. Sometimes holding Feral Rage or Mulch can be a saviour.
- Vs. Reno decks - games are much more in favour since your deck is not affected by mana dampening while creating Jade Golem. The faster you overwhelm the board, while controlling it, the hard it will be for them to remove or avoid playing an early Reno. After Reno is played, focus on doing damage on face, and use Feral Rage or Druid of the Claw to finish off. Try to avoid playing 4 minions into Mind Control Tech or having to many minions on their empty board, to avoid a mass clear and remain without cards in hand.
Always mulligan for Jade Idol + Wild Growth + Jade Blossom
- Vs. Aggro / Jade Shaman - I found these as difficult as I found mirror matches, it's all on whoever gets the fastest and biggest Jade Golem. Ramp up and use early Jades, taunts can be saved for later. And remember, if you have 5-6 HP left, always consider using hero power instead of a minion that couldn`t block a Lava Burst or Lightning Bolt + Jade Lightning.
Always mulligan for Living Roots + Jade Idol + Wrath or Wild Growth / Jade Blossom.
Here is a video from kiwiinbacon, who was nice to show how this deck should be played, Keep in mind that everyone has it`s style, and you can always adapt to the ladder!

EDIT: Switched Ancient of War with Brann Bronzebeard due to slower meta.
Best of Luck and will post more as the new season develops!
Reached rank 5 with this deck today. Consistent deck
Fendral sub ?
this deck is the fcking worst. i crafted 2 legendarys and 2 epics for this bullshit deck and got a 1-15 winrate. FCK it
I really prefer running the 2nd AOW, the value you get from that on turn seven or so is better than brann + spirit IMO.
When do you use Jade Idol to copy and make more Idols and when do you use it to make a Golem ? It's a fun deck to play but I have to get used to using that card more.
The first one is always a golem, generally I don't copy until I have less than 10 cards in my deck
Great guide but I don't understand why you would mulligan for Jade Idol. I can't think of any matchup where you would want it over your ramp cards,Wrath or Living Roots.
I can tell you from playing a lot of games, they usually go better if I get early idol ramp. It makes a huge difference to start getting the 2/2, 3/3, etc. ie if you get that first jade idol, than Jade blossom is a break even card, a 2/2 and ramp is pretty good, then the next one you can start coming back against aggro, or pressuring control. I think an early Idol is very salient. In fact it's so important my second jade idol is often used for another jade golem. Games where I get and use both jade idols are more often than not won.
I agree 100% but if you don't have Wild Growth or Jade Blossom in opening hand or any early removal it still seems risky to not mulligan everything for them. Especially in this deck that has less draw and is less dependent on cycling with Gadget. I guess it also depends on the matchup though
Question about - Wild Growth in jades decks
y people still using Wild Groeth in jades dekcs if we have Jade Blossom ?
Can it woek without Wild Groeth?
1. It has a lot of faults in the early game
2. Instead you can put a card more practical
Can you explain its importance?
Or maybe Im on someting here?
Hey mate! The reason why wild growth is used is primarily for ramp up, and second for cycle. you need draw, which the deck doesn`t have besides nourish, which is slow. plus the deck is oriented on big cost cards, so the faster you ramp, the sooner you can play them.

Nice avatar, good old burning crusade ;)
Very helpfull! Thanks
A pretty nice refined version of a standard Jade Druid and with only one innervate it minimises the possible dead draws in the late game against a control/midrange deck. I like the removal of Bran Bronzebeard because its a little bit greedy and against a more aggressive deck you're never going to get a chance to proc the second battlecry.
Overall a very nice version of the deck. If you want to check out a few games that i played with it, you can find the link below :).
Cheers.
Hi This looks like a great deck but is there a replacement for mulch. If so i'd love to give this deck a try. :)
Belive me, there is no replacement for mulch.
