If you can't handle jades that get as big as 10/10 then you should get better and work on your plays and aoe removal. This card was made to sack the endless jades that were spawning from druid.
How to choose a deck...
Play a deck and face 5 Jade Druids in a row, tech in this card...face zero Jade Druids for 10 rounds. This card seems to be the counter to just queuing into Jade Druid.
the problem is... it counters every existing deck. jade druid, pirate warrior, aggro druid, token shaman, miracle rogue, and every other deck, basicly, runs 1-mana spells, making this card stupid, anti-fun, and needing a 180 degrees nerf.
All the decks that deserve being countered. I don't see the problem
Playing a 6 mana 4/6 on turn 6 against pirates lol
Maybe with the exception of miracle rogue all of those needed counters anyways. It doesn't even really counter those decks, a 6 mana 4/6 is such a low tempo play, and you have to make it to turn 6. If pirate warrior hasn't killed you by turn 6 they've usually lost already, usually the same thing with token decks. It's a really low tempo 6 play, and so unless the jade druid is really unlucky you are probably dying to a field full of jades next turn. If anything the card needs a buff, at 5 mana it will actually be a viable counter to decks that need a counter.
The ultimate slap in the face to this card is playing Jade Druid, losing all your Idols and then discovering a new one via Lotus Agents lol you can't stop the Jade train
Unless, of course, they play another to counter that one.
And turns out this card is worthless because it doesn't even counter jade Idol. Let this be a lesson for the Hearthstone devs, that they must more coscious about the cards they make and, that just making cards to counter archetypes is no good game desing.
It does, you fool. Think about it... Stuffing three Jade Idols in a deck is not really an option now because Skulking Geist destroys all one cost cards in all decks. Before you claim it hasn't been countered, think of how many times that your opponent has run Gadgetzan Auctioneer since launch... and if you claim that the ones you have faced have all run Auctioneers, then I know not a lot of thought went into the post.
Just think about it... with the release of the card, Jade Idol is rarely used to put cards into the deck anymore, because Jade Druid players are always under the presumption that their opponent could be running it, and so they are using their Jade Idols to summon them before the Geist hits the board. You can't win by fatigue anymore... the days of Infinite Jade Idol are gone.
If Skulking Geist has made it so that Jade Druid players aren't putting more cards back into the deck, then yes, it has done it's job. It has crippled Jade Druid significantly since the launch.
11 Cards Gone, just POOF!
Poor pally, Insta-Concede
and you proud to fckd people on internet to get more attention XD wow u must be proud kappa
I crafted this as a counter to jades.
It's very good in control decks. I like it. The stats arent what makes this card. Would be even better if it was 4-5 mana I guess, 6 is a bit harsh.
I wanted to craft it for that purpose, has it worked?
fun fact: this would probably kill quest rogue too, if they still were a thing.
fun fact: no it wouldnt. It destroys 1 mana spells not 1 mana cards
And in the next expansion blizzard print a card: "Destroy all 1 Mana minions in both hands and decks".
btw this is my favorit tech card
Sounds like King Kai's voice
Oh crap, you might be right!
