The problem with the premade deck is that you've all to often belched out all of your hand and hoping that you get a good card. Of course, I could understand nerfing it to 2 copies per duplication. However, Face Hunter, Freeze Mage can easily counter this slow archetype, especially when druid goes first. The only good starting card is Jade Blossom. Also, I all too often find myself without a hand, and the enemy board only growing. However, maybe they should cap the golems themselves, not this card. Perhaps capping them ay 7/7, with the extra stats added on as a buff so Mass Dispel and Earth Shock will kill them? Also, the golems mana cost scale with stats. a 1/1 is 1, a 2/2 is 2, etc.
The premade deck from the deck creation made by Blizzard is only a starting place... you add in Gadgetzan Auctioneer, Arcane Golems and other broken cards, and the deck becomes stupidly good. I haven't lost many games with it. There isn't much 'hope' involved. It's only really lost when I didn't draw answers and had like 2 nourishes after a mulligan. I was undefeated by Mage and Priest. They had zero chance.
The single most retarded card blizzard ever printed. To summerize, it's flavor text says "win the game if your opponent's deck is control deck".
WTF???
And have a good chance against aggro.
You actually really don't want Jade Idol early. Other jade summoning cards yes, but you need some kind of draw mechanic paired with this or shuffling 3 into your deck just puts a bunch of low impact cards in the way of other things. Late game with say an auctioneer this card goes nuts. But if you use it early game to make a golem, it's low impact at that time, and if you shuffle 3 copies into your deck early game, then you have just put a bunch of 1 mana cards into your deck that by themselves aren't good enough. People really over react to this card and seem to misunderstand that fatigue was not always the only win condition in control decks. Control warrior for instance didn't always rely on Justicar and Tank up, they used to run actual threats like Alex and Grom...
Not broken. Very strong, but still counterable. Jade Idol is easily countered by Protect the King!. Stocking up on hard removal like Naturalize, Polymorph, Hex etc. Also, stocking up on cheap, preferrably divine shielded taunts is great, not to mention cards like DOOM! and Twisting Nether.
Nice joke. Your removals will be depleted some turn, and Jade Golems army never - thanks to this balanced card.
Have you played a jade golem druid before? This only happens in the VERY late game, where your deck will be primarily jade idols. Besides, we can only have Jade Behemoth x2, Jade Blossom x2, Jade Spirit x2, and Aya Blackpaw. This amounts to at MOST 8 golems, while Shaman and Rogue have many more options. Without this card, Jade Golem Druid would not be viable. However, a nerf to 2 duplicated cards would be understandable, and probably necessary.
The best part of this card? You don't even need to play it at all to win. just wait until both players are fatiging and then draw infinite threats
The problem is surviving until that point.
which isn't hard at all because stuff like Feral Rage, Moonglade Portal, all your taunts, and of course the scaling Jade Golems being summoned will soak up all the damage.
I am the bone of my deck.
Jade is my body and ramp is my blood,
I have created over a thousand golems.
Unknown to Fatigue,
Nor known to Mill.
Have chosen one to create many golems.
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray, Unlimited Jade Golems.
*dis on the background for more jade opness :P*
To be honest this card is op.
This Card + Fandral + Gadgetzan auctioneer + Sorcerer's Apprentice + multiple Void Terror + old Warrior charge.
Great Job Blizzard, you did it again.
How would you get a Sorcerer's Apprentice as a druid? They are a mage card... I agree miracle druid could be really strong, tier 2 if not tier 1, and a really fun card to play, but it gets wrecked by aggro. Like, IMMENSELY wrecked. And aggro decks will be a thing.
It would be cool to see the miracle combo, but yes, it's nearly to impossible to get it to work with. It was also ment to be a joke due to the uproar of the powerlevel of this card rather than a serious concern of mine.
Flavor Text
Shuffle or no guts.
You know what to do bois
Jade Idol is infinite value, jeeze and to think you can get even more value from it through Raven Idol. There's going to be some sick plays soon, very excited for Druids this expansion.
This is how batshit broken cards are made boys!They are not huge costly legendaries with awesome arts but cheap spells or minions that are impossible to counter...and this is both at the same time XD
This card is amazing in Reno decks! Kappa123
