The cancer is still here and strong as ever folks!!!! Jade druid post nerf is still very viable and strong. With the nerfs to Innervate and Spreading Plague we lose a bit of explosive power and defensive capability so with that in mind lets look at the list!!!
Innervate while weaker than before it still works as a coin in our deck. This is still very well relevant in strings were we have jade blossom in our opening hand or our new ramp addition Mire Keeper.
Jade Idol......it's...it's in the name folks
Naturalize is a new addition to the deck. While the tempo swing is not ideal it is a catch all safety net to hedge off threats in big priest and to give us decent removal in the mid game against paladin. However since it isn't ideal it's only a one of. Use with extreme caution.
Wrath is our best removal in aggro match ups while also acting as decent mid range removal and has the added benefit of synergizing with Fandral
Wild Growth, and Jade Blossom for ramp
Fandral Staghelm i'm not sure if he is a win more card but he helps give us explosive plays when synergized with Malfurion the Pestilent, Mire Keeper, and Nourish.
Swipe excellent removal both in the mid game and early game, late game it can also provide that over the top damage to finish out games
Nourish for card draw and ramp
Spreading Plague while nerfed it still deserves a one of slot in this deck. the ability to flood the field with 1/5 taunts makes for a very meaty wall for your opponent to eat through. especially for aggro decks if you manage to ramp this out turn 4 you can simply shut them out from the game.
Ultimate Infestation is a heavy lifter in the mid to late game. it dose everything we want.
Doomsayer is very important in the early game to keep the field in our favor untill we can start spamming our jade cancer.
Spellbreaker is probably our most flexible soft counter to a myriad of problems that could present themselves.
So yeah, post nerf these are my changes to the standard Jade cancer archetype. More removal essentially to survive at all levels in the game. Leave your thoughts and comments down below!!! if i can get 50 likes i'll add mulligan matchups and at 100 i'll add a video of 10 matches with play by play commentary!!!
gadgetzan auctioneer?
Why run Spellbreaker when you can run Keeper of the Grove and it will, not only give you an alternative for removal, but also synergize with Fandral Staghelm?
I'd say I'm getting value out of that 4 mana at least 80% of the times.
Because Spellbreaker is a 4 mana 4/3 and Keeper of the Grove is a 4 mana 2/2. The 2 damage don't matter because the Malfurion hero power can do 3 for less mana.
You don't always have that Malfurion hero power, you know. And what's more important KotG deals 2 dmg without smashing your face unlike hero power. In the meantime Spellbreaker also trades with a lot of 2 drops.
I've been playing jade druid with doomsayers in place of innervate post nerf and it is fantastic. I kept both spreading plagues tho...naturalize is just a bad card.
Except in mill druid.
this deck will suck @ aggro due to only 1 plague,
this deck will suck @ mirror which has mct & mark of lotus
this deck will also suck @ most of control matchup, running geist -- it has no medivh to make the table without jade idols
but it has 2 useless @ lategame doomsayers. bravo
mmmmk so what's the constructive part of this comment? would it be to add medivh?
Not sure if your serious but realistically if you font have these cards just dont play this deck.
Yes, you replace the deck :)
Anyway... nothing new, as always Im missing the expensive ones, Aya and Malfurion the President
yea i agree -doomsayer-plague +2 auctioneer
with the rise in popularity of zombeast hunters I feel doomsayer is warranted . However I agree that cycling would help the deck operate a bit more smoothly. I'll try going down 1 doomsayer and plague and add 2 auctioneers and see what dose and dose not work on the way up the ladder.
it didnt auctioneer is'nt needed the original list is doing just fine actually
