Thank for upvote! this is my first time writing this(sorry)
I will update if it get change or anything
I'm rank 5 with this deck with a little change
update 15/12 : -1 Swipe, +1 Arcane Tyrant
Jade druid are weak against strong early game deck and current ladder are full of them.
This deck uses taunt and buff card to compete board before gain jade value to finish them.
New cards
this card worth keeping on mulligan. if you manage to pull out Ironwood Golem using this. you will have a good time. even you (unfortunately) pull out Fandral Staghelm on turn 4, it still force your opponent to do unfavored trade. also can pull out bottom-decked fandral when you need him.
you wouldn't want this in your hand
so many possibility to gain crazy value. you would like to swing it every turn.
if you use it on turn 4 it will break on turn 8 (4 turn later) or use Medivh, the Guardian
Mulligan
You will always need to mulligan for ramp cards:
Wild Growth/Jade Blossom/Nourish
after you got one or two of these you can keep card depends on your matchup:
- vs hunter: Jade Idol/Wrath/Oaken Summons/Spreading Plague
- vs paladin: Jade Idol/Wrath/Oaken Summons/Spreading Plague
Matchup
Card replacement
Why no Ooze?
you might find a spot there but I am fine without it
I don't have Fandral Staghelm/Twig of the World Tree
I don't have Malfurion the Pestilent/Medivh, the Guardian
add The Lich King/Primordial Drake/Bonemare
I don't have Aya Blackpaw
why tf you playing jade then?
How about Kun the Forgotten King ?
I might find a spot for him but I am pretty okay atm
I've been debating between crafting Kun the forgotten king or Twig of the world tree . Witch one is better overall? I also play a lot of wild so rotation doesn't affect me.
awesome deck. ez rank 8 to 5 in no time.
Not a bad deck. Unfortunately the 9 priests i played in a row said "You lose". I hate priest and this whole ridiculous meta. Team 5 have no idea how to balance a class that is utterly dominate.
Ironic. Jade Druid has dominated the Meta for a year now. It wasn't until the Razakus combo that it got some competition. So, yes, Priest is a little OP at the moment, but the one class that has no place complaining about that is Druid.
In the tempo and aggro list are: Paladin (both with and without Murlocs), Tempo Keleseth Rogue, Face Hunter, Zoolock, Pirate Warrior (yes, even in 2017), aggro Token Druid and Secret Mage. To oppose that, you can run Jade Druid, Miracle Druid, Big Priest, Razakus Priest and/or Dragon Priest in some form or other.
Be happy there is at least a control option available in tier 1.
The main issues I ran into in the current meta are you can't stall long enough against big priest and big spell priest, and you have few recovery mechanics if you fall behind on board.
Twig sucks. I suggest you replace it with anything. Very depressing how ineffective it is. Maybe 1 out of 20 games you pull off it's effect in a somewhat meaningful way.
Could you explain me why Mark of the Lotus is useful instead of Earthen Scales ?
Why no Swipe?
I dont find Swipe much value in control matchup imo. Mark of the Lotus is use to buff your minion above bomb range and Spreading Plague + Mark of the Lotus is instant-win vs aggro
This deck is missing 2x Arcane Tyrant, Kun and the spellstone
Twig of the World Tree makes the turn you play really bad, and it's hard to break, you usually ramp up to at least 8-9 mana before you are able to break it or Medivh it anyway, and mana refresh is not that necessary either, Kun is more than enough.
I use second Swipe, Mire Keepers and Jade Spirit, but I guess those two would defeat the purpose of Oaken Summons. I also started using Arcane Tyrant, heard some people are also using Arcane Giant too.
How does the Oaken Summons + Ironwood Golem combo perform? Isn't it awful to draw Ironwood Golem?
Kun the Forgotten King is 0 mana 7/7 not quite the same as Twig of the World Tree you spend all mana then break it. Basically you will have 20 mana on that turn.
Arcane Tyrant look really great. I gonna look for best replacement for it.
Ironwood Golem is a bad draw.
Best replacements for Fandral? Only card I don't have and I don't play druid enough to want to craft him. I don't have arcane tyrant either but would rather craft that at a lower cost if it will work. Just threw in a Jade Spirit for now but appreciate any suggestions.
you can add second Swipe or Eater of Secrets
Awesome deck, Thanks!
Glad my twig isnt totally useless, this deck is actually fun to play and im currently climbing with it.
I cant see the point of frandral anymore, he feels slow, doesn't stick on the board and lacks combo potential. Chose one effects are lacking, personally, i never want to draw from nourish as ultimate infestation does a good enough job and jade idol doesn't require much more mana to shuffle and play jades towards the end of the game.
