Strategy
- You want to start off the game on the right foot ideally with Mistress of Mixtures or Jade Claws.
- Start ramping up your Jade Golems right away and build up some board presence.
- Try to use Evolve, Devolve, and Master of Evolution efficiently. Wait for a decent board that will get a lot of value for either one. Remember to trade or otherwise use your minion(s) before you evolve them, and aim to use the effects on mid to high cost minions. Sometimes it may be acceptable to use it on just one or two minions, though. It depends on the situation. Devolve can get you out of many sticky situations, and make them slippery instead.
- Be aware of the mana costs of minions that exist in the game. Remember you can not Devolve Arcane Giant or Mountain Giant for example, because there are no 11 mana minions in the game.
- Decide how you want to use Brann Bronzebeard there are several purposes for this card. You can combo it with Jade Claws, Jade Spirit, Jade Chieftain, [/card]master of evolution[/card] and Aya Blackpaw for example, or any sort of card draw also. You could potentially draw cards as well.

Card Breakdown
Card | Words |
Evolve | One of the key cards of this deck that forms part of your strategy. Try to use it efficiently on mid to high-cost minions for best value. It may be fine to use it on fewer minions at times, use your judgement. |
Devolve | This is a unique form of removal and a very powerful tool to screw with your opponents. This can completely scramble their board an reduce it's value at the same time. |
Jade Claws | This is a really cool weapon and i like it more than i thought i would. It's nice to have the damage available and it's a great card to initialize your jade golem progress. |
Bloodmage Thalnos | This is a very solid and valuable classic legendary. The draw will help cycle and the spell damage will help with clearing the board or lethal. Just make sure you do not evolve it! If you don't have this you should strongly consider crafting it. |
Lightning Storm | This is your only aoe that does damage, so use it carefully. Don't forget about spell power. |
Far Sight | The main purpose of this card is to cycle, but the discount it provides can be unexpectedly amazing by enabling some exciting and powerful evolutionary shenanigans. |
Hex | A very powerful removal tool that you will want to save for really threatening targets or hard to clear minions. |
Jade Lightning | This is a really nice damage spell. I like the 4 damage and i love the jade golem. Very nice tool. |
Master of Evolution | This is a card you never want to have in your mulligan, but otherwise it is a very strong card. You will want to have a decent target and try to get full value out of that target before you re purpose it. |
Jade Chieftain | This is a very powerful card with awesome synergy. Aside from the obvious battlecry synergy, this 7 mana body is a fantastic target for evolution. |
Jinyu Waterspeaker | This is a fancy new healing card for shaman and it is actually pretty decent. Previous I had been using Mistress of Mixtures, but the 1 mana minions feel bad in this deck and the battlecry can combo with brann bronzebeard. |
Brann Bronzebeard | One battlecry is good, why not two?! |
Maelstrom Portal | This is a good, flexible spending which should aid you with full boards. Try to get spell damage first. |
Jade Spirit | This contributes to the jade golem effort and is a reasonable combo with Brann Bronzebeard |
Azure Drake | This is a pretty straightforward inclusion. |
Doppelgangster | The main purpose for this card is to combo it with evolve and get 3 6-cost minions. Pretty exciting combo! |
Aya Blackpaw | Definitely an auto-include, in my opinion, for any jade golem deck. I really enjoy this card and it can spawn some great tokens to fight for the board and evolve as well. |

Lol - turn 2, Coin > Far Sight, get Doppelgangster. Turn 3, Doppelgangster + Evolve. Brutal!!
Now that is what I am talking about! Haha. To answer your question below, first of all I realized I made a mistake with the list. It is 2 mistress and 1 lotus agents. Now with that out of the was, I would probably replace that dirty rat with a second lotus agents. If you haven't added the second mistress yet then make sure you have two of those! Thanks for the feedback also, I appreciate it! Enjoy!
Damn this is a fun deck - good work bro! The [card]Doppelgangster[/card] + Evolve combo is insane! I currently only have 1 Dirty Rat, so have swapped in a second Doppelgangster, unless you think otherwise?
this is probably the most enjoyable shaman deck i have played in a while. does new things, cool comboes, dosent get completely shut out by these face tards. i was wondering why no bloodmage thalnos though? would be really good early with maelstrom portal and i feel like the deck has too many 5 drops
Blooodmage is definitely good but i think i removed it because i didn't want so many 2 drops, and the 5 mana azure drake gives a better potential for evolution. Not to mention that you have a chance with your hero power to get spell power as well, which i think is just as good as hoping to draw bloodmage at the right time. On an individual basis bloodmage does not offer too much more than cheap spellpower in this case. I feel like the card draw in the form of far sight and azure drake is better because it is more reactive and much better late-game.
If you feel like you need your aoe to have a little more of a punch maybe you can consider swapping a portal for a lightning storm.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback! ! am happy to hear you are enjoying this deck as much as i am =D GLHF
I would probably use some different card draw to keep the same consistency. Far Sight is really great for the discount it also provides to enable some sweet plays, but you could go for something more like Gnomish Inventor that would be decent to evolve if the opportunity arises. Maybe just one copy of that, and perhaps something like a Mana Tide Totem. If you are feeling really brave you can also try Coldlight Oracle. Hope that gives you some ideas. Have fun!
Hi Bro,
I don't have Aya Blackpaw, any suggestions? :)
You could try al'akir windows, fire elemental, or perhaps a thing from below
Jade decks are much worse without Aya, unfortunately. They all include her.
Ye i crafted her eventually! :) thanks
Glad you are enjoying it, thanks for the feedback!
This deck is a lot of fun!
Hell yeah! I love playing this deck :) Thanks for the feedback!
