Mulligan Guide: You need to draw at least one of your Druid cards in your starting hand, otherwise you won't have all the pieces you need in time to avoid being overrun. On the Lich King's first turn he will wipe out all other cards in your deck, leaving you with only 6 cards to draw. The more you start with initially, the faster you'll be able to set everything up.
Don't be afraid to use your Swipe early because if he has 2-3 minions he will often times play Anti-Magic Shell. I've actually seen him play it on just 1 minion if he feels threatened.
You should try to keep the board relatively clear and save your Spreading Plague for Phase 2 when he drops all the Trapped Soul. That way you will have at least 2 turns to start building up some huge Jade Golems. Even if your board is full, keep choosing to play more Golems, because it will still increase their size, even if there's no room on the board.
Once you've got the Gadgetzan Auctioneer on the table you have to be very mindful of how many cards are in your deck, so you don't overdraw and take fatigue damage. Every time your character says "I'm almost out of cards!" you always want to choose the option to shuffle 3 more Jade Idol into your deck to avoid any issues.
I don't have any cards to switch out, cause this is an extremely tight build. I've tried it with Wild Growth, Jade Spirit or additional copies of Jade Idol or Jade Blossom, but none kept the consistency of this build.

Super Mega Ultra Important: Watch the video. Notice the author does not play Jade Druid on Turn 1. This is important so you don't draw multiple copies of Jade Idol instead of cards that better interact with the board. Ideally on your Turn 6, with 7 mana because of Jade Blossom, you play Jade Behemoth and shuffle 3 Jade Idols into your deck.
It took me 5 tries, ended up adding a 2nd swipe and another idol. The 2nd idol made it way easier imo, thanks for the help though... only 8 more to go.
second try thx a lot man ... :)
