    I've changed this deck significantly due to the nerfs and the "new" meta.  I'll be updating it soon!

    Sounds like you understand the deck very well.  Glad you enjoy the deck.  Renolock is definitely hard but I do not think it's the hardest matchup.  You should try to run the trial version deck that I'm currently experimenting with where I took out 1 Azure Drake for 1 White Eyes.  It has helped my win percentage against renolock very well.

    The hardest matchup is druid then priest from my experience.  Priest is still winnable but you just need to ramp your jades FAST!  Once you can get where you are pumping 4+/4+ jades then you are in good position unless you are low on health that is.  Druid is a nightmare.  The combo druid is nearly unbeatable and jade druid is still tough without Bloodlust.  To beat jade druid, you just need a board and hold onto it.

    For mage, you can play it slow and try to draw cards and use the hero power to make thing from below cheaper.  Besides that, I just jam out jade cards and try to make sure I save at least one to go with brann.  You want to play Aya as soon as possible and try to pop her deathrattle even when you are trading it into a weaker minion.  Just that extra jade makes the matchup so much harder for mage in the longer stage of the game.  The dream combo is brann + jade claws + jade spirit.  That's pretty much the finishing blow because even if they clear it with a 10 mana kazakus potion, your next jade cards are just too strong for them to deal with.  If they are delaying their use of AoE spells, then that means you just need to put a little bit more pressure on board for them to respond.  Just be aware of your hand and not overcommit unless you have a strong follow up.

    For renolock, you play the same way as you would against mage.  The difference is overcommitting is very detrimental.  So there will be a point in time when you can do the brann combo.  If you do it, what is there next play?  Most likely it will be an AoE removal. If that's the case, do you have a follow up?  If not, you don't do the move.

    To be honest, there's a lot of thought process that goes into those matchup and just these following tips doesn't cover the matchup enough.  There might be reads where you can do the brann combo early and still be fine.  Just have to understand their followup play and your followup play and play it towards your favor where you come out ahead.

    you can replace Harrison if you are not facing a lot of weapon heavy classes.  If you are facing weapon-heavy classes, then you can replace a jade chieftain with it.

    I'm surprised as well but with my results it seems even against rogue.  Though this deck has a lot of answers to rogue, you need those answers to beat them. (conceal quest+edwin).

    Devolve helps in mirror matchup and rogue moreso than earthshock.  But I still like the results earthshock has given me.  Instead of devolving a drake or flametongue or even aya, earthshock would be better to use as it kills the drake, leaves a useless totem on board and leaves a weak 5/2 body.  Devolving aya could lead to the player getting something like earth elemental and that's game changing/ending.  So in the end, just having a more consistent outcome, than a random outcome is what led me to putting 1 of both rather than 2 devolves.

    I've tried both and earth shock just had better results.

    I don't run Tunnel Trogg, so it doesn't necessarily synergize with the deck altogether.  Don't get me wrong Totem Golem is a strong 2-drop but it just doesn't fit this deck.

    you lose a ton of value from not having bran; i'm not sure if he's replaceable.  only thing i can think of is brewmaster that plays a somewhat similar role but even that is not a good replacement.

    I'm still working on this deck and trying to see how far I can push this deck when it comes to being greedy (late game cards)
