Hearthpwn

I just woke up and basically walked into rank 5 today from rank 10. This list is very strong right now. It runs a lot of the new cards which complement Jade Druid very well. 

Card Choices

The new Jasper Spell Stone gives you more options against aggro and by late game 6 damage removal is great against a lot of the big decks. You can seriously fatigue them by answering all their threats.

Arcane Tyrant is amazing. You wont have dead turns when you nourish on curve for ramp or draw and when you Ultimate you dont have to worry about having 10 cards and overdrawing next turn. 

Branching Path is the strongest card in this new package. The armor gain is fucking insane and beats a lot of the hunter decks right now. The card draw is great against slower decks which allows you to find ultimate faster. I dont think you will really ever use the attack buff besides finding a sneaky lethal.

Lich King gives you another taunt option and fits in really well with how the deck now operates.

Conclusion 

If you have noticed Jade Spirit has been taken out for this new package. At this point, Jade Spirit is such a weak card. I have always hated playing it on turn 4 as it really does nothing, and the only use you get out of it is after an ultimate then you drop Jade Behemoth with it. Branching Path is soooo much better than it. And I only run one mire keeper because the deck has more than enough ramp and two mire keepers feels clunky on top of giving the deck too many 4 drops. Spreading plague is still amazing. So yeah, this deck is very strong and I consider it to be tier 1 right now. 

It beats big decks and every hunter deck right now. The only bad match up seems to be aggro warlock, sometimes you just dont get your answers and they always have a strong curve. Aggro Pally is kind of the same, but I think you are more favored than the Warlock match up. Sadly, I didnt go against a lot of aggro pallys so I dont really know. Besides that, Geist obviously fucks this deck hard and with the removal of Jade Spirit, I think you instant lose, but no one is running Geist right now. If Geist becomes popular this deck will drop down to tier 2. 

Thank you for reading and playing this deck.
