The deck used by Kolento in top 100 Legend. I got legend twice using his decks (from rank 5 onwards). I don`t have time to grind the legend every month, but I get to 5 for the rewards.
It`s an easy deck to play until 5, and if you have the time even until legend.
Since I reached rank 5 using this deck and until end of January season Kolento might have made some changes. Every ranking bracket has its differences, for instance at level 20 you`ll meet more random decks whilst at 10 more control or fully aggro-face oriented decks, and in legend there are all kinds of decks, so he rotates depending on the match-ups.
As play style always ramp-up and try to use Jades as early as possible. I almost never shuffled Jade Idols, and neither does he, unless heavy control match-ups and opponent has no more cards. Remember, this deck doesn`t include Gadgetzan Auctioneer so your draw is affected should you shuffle.
I don`t use any trackers for my games, but I will post mulligan and favourable match-ups:
- Vs. Pirate Warrior - game is favourable if you can ramp steadily and remove his important cards , such as Small-Time Buccaneer and Frothing Berserker. The sooner your mana crystals go up, the earlier you can play your taunts. And never give up, I won many games with 1-2 health left because I had my walls in their way.
Always mulligan for Innervate Jade Blossom Wrath and Jade Idol. Sometimes holding Feral Rage or Mulch can be a saviour.
- Vs. Reno decks - games are much more in favour since your deck is not affected by mana dampening while creating Jade Golem. The faster you overwhelm the board, while controlling it, the hard it will be for them to remove or avoid playing an early Reno. After Reno is played, focus on doing damage on face, and use Feral Rage or Druid of the Claw to finish off. Try to avoid playing 4 minions into Mind Control Tech or having to many minions on their empty board, to avoid a mass clear and remain without cards in hand.
Always mulligan for Jade Idol + Wild Growth + Jade Blossom
- Vs. Aggro / Jade Shaman - I found these as difficult as I found mirror matches, it's all on whoever gets the fastest and biggest Jade Golem. Ramp up and use early Jades, taunts can be saved for later. And remember, if you have 5-6 HP left, always consider using hero power instead of a minion that couldn`t block a Lava Burst or Lightning Bolt + Jade Lightning.
Always mulligan for Living Roots + Jade Idol + Wrath or Wild Growth / Jade Blossom.
Here is a video from kiwiinbacon, who was nice to show how this deck should be played, Keep in mind that everyone has it`s style, and you can always adapt to the ladder!

EDIT: Switched Ancient of War with Brann Bronzebeard due to slower meta.
Best of Luck and will post more as the new season develops!
I think Naturalize could be a substitute but obviously it isn't as ideal as Mulch as it gives your opponent card advantage (think pirate warrior)
To be honest, I run Naturalize and the 1 mana cost makes up partly for the heavy card draw burden; however, I've won more games than lost when I get to play Naturalize.
I had such a fun time trying this deck out, It was really a blast :D quite strong on the ladder and can really pack a punch in the late game, this deck is a must try if you are tired or shamans right now.
Here is a video showcasing the deck which I hope you guys enjoy.
I really like the choice of putting in Druid of the Claw and a second Ancient of War. It's really good against all those aggro shamans and warriors. And in most times its easy to win against late game control decks.
seeing a lot of hate on this deck, you should try my jade golem decks, much more fun, cheaper and better results, use version 2 for better results and version 1 for more fun. Will get you endless jades. Also this comment is not to shit on kolento's deck i just think my deck is better because i have a very high opinion of myself, and want upvotes on my decks
This deck is slow. 4/10 wins on ladder and I'm not sure if those wins werent from bad RNG on opponents end. Needs Brann. Needs somethings to get those jades out quicker. This deck is also a repeat from the same builder with 2-3 card changes. I get it but no sploosh this time. Much love Kolento.
Hey, and sorry for the bad games you had with it. The reason I posted it is because at the time, the ladder was infested with pirate warriors, aggro shamans and miracle rogues. It is a best counter for those. Then again, this season might be different. I`ll post a few videos for you to show exactly how to play it. Cheers!
Any substitute for Aya?
Two druid of the claw's are good but you don't need two ancient of wars. Jade druid absolutely needs an auctioneer, these decks live and die on late game card draw.
if you post his decklist, please do it correctly !
he has cut the Innervate for 1 x Druid of the Saber for the aggro match up..
Is it possible to implement Doomsayer for Druid of the Saber ?
Druid of the Saber cost 40 dust to craft =D
he probably changed the list a bit, since I played in Mid-January. So yes, druid can be swapped for innervate. Still, for aggro match ups X1 Druid of the Saber might help. But then again, being able to innervate and use Jade Blossom or even Coin + Innervate + Jade Spirit in turn 1 can have a lot of impact on your ramp. and end game.
There are lists that run Doomsayer but if you don't draw it super early it's usually a dead card.
So, I guess the idea is to outlast the opponent with solid taunts, to make up for the slow Jade engine (no auctioneer).
Well, it could even be a thing. Taunts are definitely underestimated nowadays.
It is also possible that this deck particularly fits a specific meta, while being generally worse than usual Jade Druid (with at least one auctioneer).
But then you run out of steam for lategame.
I mean, Jade is no Tempo. It is Midrange-y, because it starts slow and builds value later.
What I mean is that this build has to be good somehow, and you may not need lategame at all.
But it looks very daring, probably even more difficult to pilot than usual Jade, as your resources are much more limited with no gadgetzan/shuffle.
