Greetings from Canada:

Here's my new take on Jade Druid for the Kobolds meta. Now that Jades are being played less, Skulking Geist has fallen out of favour, which means now is the time to rise up with large men.

However, even if Skulking Geist appears, we are not doomed. We have plan B) Hadronox, as well as plan C) N'Zoth to fill the board and stave off fatigue indefinitely thanks to Astral Tiger, Jade Idol be damned.

The deck has no minions below 4 mana, so Oaken Summons and Grizzled Guardian always land something decent. Grizzled Guardian, while shitty in most cases, is quite the MVP here, since it gets revived by both Hadronox and N'Zoth.

General gameplay starts off the same as regular Jade Druid, just ramp as fast as you can. Then start dropping taunt after taunt.

Notable tech choices here include Naturalize and The Black Knight. IMO, Naturalize is required in a Hadronox deck, since it gives you a turn 10 play with 100% certainty, versus dropping Hadronox and praying your opponent doesn't silence/transform/steal it. Black Knight is nice for cleaning up Bonemare vomit. Can be substituted for a 2nd Wrath if you don't find enough targets.

Will write more about mulligans and match-ups if demand is there. See ya.
