Elemental/Jade Spirit Echo Deck as a response to recent change of Jade Spirit that is an elemental minion now. So Shaman has some good 4-drop elemental that was lacking before.
Most valuable Spirit Echo targets to look for:
1) Aya Blackpaw and Jade Spirit for huge Jade Golems and best value.
2) Blazecaller, that can be echoed on turn 10.
3) Thing from Below that can be played at low cost in lategame together with other big cards e.g. Aya Blackpaw+Thing from Below+Spirit Echo on 9???
4) Jinyu Waterspeaker when healing is necessary.
5) Servant of Kalimos, well, another minion with discover is also better than nothing.
Potential additions/fillers instead of Fire Fly or Hot Spring Guardian for certain situations: 1xBloodmage Thalnos; 1xDoomsayer; 1xGluttonous Ooze; Second Servant of Kalimos; Second Devolve.
UPDATE: So I got rid of 1xFire Fly and added second Devolve.

Posted Jul 12, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)Cool deck, i'v tried out your version, and it honestly feels that Blazecaller is overkill for a lategame, i'v replaced both Blazecallers for Stonehill Defenders, to add more earlygame play options, aswell as more versatility to the deck.

Posted Jul 12, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)Thanks. Changing Blazecaller with Stonehill Defender can be a good idea if you feel you need less lategame minions, as you can discover some amazing Spirit Echo target cards from stonehill such as White Eyes

Posted Jul 12, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)I will try it now and I'll provide feedback. I think this is how the jade elemental decks should look like.

Posted Jul 12, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)OK, so I played 10 games with your deck. Before I continue, I want to say that I didn't follow it exactly, I replaced Spirit Echo with Servant of Kalimos, because I thought that you need more minions and normally I don't have a second copy of Spirit Echo.
Like I said, this is how the jade elemental decks should look like. They provide us value, not that much flooding the board, so Spirit Echo is the right win-condition. I played 10 games with your deck (sadly my games went 6-4, but that's because I didn't draw the right answers at the right time) and it felt secure - especially when I entered the late-game. The big minions just carried and Spirit Echo helped me refill my hand.
My personal advice is - cut 1 Blazecaller for 1 Servant of Kalimos. Blazecaller, although very strong, it's a bad top-deck in the early game, that's why I believe you should add more mid-game minions.
Personally I would replace 1x Maelstrom Portal with a second Lightning Storm, because it can deal better with aggro decks.
And although not that much related to your deck, I just want to say, that it would have been very good, if still had Ancestral Knowledge. Because very often I really need to deal with threats properly, but the cards aren't there.
