Hello everyone! I have decided to yet another deck quide as I came up with a really sweet brew combining the best from the Jade Druid and Yogg-Saron powerhouse. Allow me to present you the MoonDruid, your new best friend while laddering. Not only the deck is really strong and with precise piloting will get you to the highest legend ranks really quickly, it is also extremely fun to play. If you have any experience with the classic Jade deck, it will be quite easy for you to switch. However, if you are new to this kind of deck, do not despair! Just keep reading and you will be Jading like a pro in no time
Mulligan guide
If it gives you extra mana, it´s the card you are looking for. This means Innervate, Wild Growth and Jade Blossom are cards that you actively want in basically every matchup. From there it really depends. Against aggro you really want to see Wild Pyromancer in your hand, especially if you got a coin. With control matchups you have a bit more freedom to keep some expensive heavy hitters, so feel free to keep cards like Aya Blackpaw in your hand if you are sure your opponent won´t try to kill you on turn 5.
Card inclusion
The first card that should really hit you right in the face is Moonfire. This is the type of card we all played in our first Hearthstone decks while not really knowing the rules of the game. However, in this deck it has a ton of synergy, which actually makes it really good. It works really well with Wild Pyromancer in the early game, where it acts as a „board clear“. It also works really well with Auctioneer as free spells become really amazing on those big combo turns. In case none of those is really happening, you can just use it on your own Acolyte of Pain to cycle it anytime for free. And worst comes to worst, it isn´t the end of the world to just finish one of their X/1 minions like this.
Jade Idol is a card we are all used to at this point, but I just want to stress out how imporant it is to not just play both of them for Jades in the early game. With the first one just go to town and make that Jade, but after that you should make the mental note that you have already played one. Even though it´s one of the cheapest cards in the deck, it essentially works as your win condition. On one of those big turns with Auctioneer, you really need to shuffle some of them back to your deck, and continue drawing them for the rest of the game, where one mana 15/15 minion sounds really appealing.
Acolyte of Pain works as your main source of card advantage in the early game, as it has a really good synergy with Wild Pyromancer. Dont be afraid to ping it with your Wrath and make yourself some cheap Arcane Intelect. You can easily turn your Acolyte into Nourish with a sequence of turn3 Acolyte into turn4 Wild Pyromancer + Wrath on your own Acolyte, triggering your Pyro, ideally damaging your opponent´s X/2 minion and allowing you to finish him off with dying Acolyte.
The really complicated card which will be a huge tiebreaker between your wins and losses is Gadgetzan Auctioneer. A whopping number of 19 spells in the deck (with 12 of those costing 2 or less mana) means the Auctioneer can generate an unreal amount of value, especially if you can get him into that „Jade Idol draws Jade Idol“ loop. Wild Growth is especially good here, as it acts like another super cheap Nourish thanks to the Excess Mana in the lategame. However, the two mana investment can be significant on the „combo turn“, so you should definitely consider just setting up on turn 10 with the Wild Growth alone, just playing and and keeping the Excess Mana for your Auctioneer turn.
We finally got to the real big hitter of this deck, the mighty Yogg-Saron, hope´s End, which will hopefully end the hope for your opponent. The spell count for our Yoggie is going up real quick with this deck, so by the time you decide to play him, he should be spinning the lottery wheel for 10+ super random spells. The real question mark here is WHEN to play this guy. Overall you should treat him like a board clear, or your last chance lottery button when things are going really poorly for you. If you are kinda winning the game, DO NOT PLAY THE GUY! I REPEAT! DO NOT PLAY YOGG IF YOU ARE DOING WELL! What he gained in power he lacks in brain, so he will sometimes just decide to randomly kill you instead.
Overall the deck is extremely solid, and I fully recommend it if you are getting tired of all the stock lists but still want to keep winning. If you are really serious about going up with your rank, also don´t forget to watch the video guide! In case you liked this deck guide just let me know in any way, if I see that you guys enjoy these then I will do some more in the future. Also don´t forget to follow me on social media to stay updated!
That´s it for today, good luck with all the Yogging and stuff, may his force be with you!

True
Really interesting deck. Stan is including some tech and powerful cards to deal against aggro, midrange and control decks.
I would like to include Elize to have some extra spells or just in case I got stuck in the late game with no draws. So guys, what would you replace in order to include Elize?
Maybe remove a swipe? I don't know... I would also think Elize can offer lot's of value, but Jade is not meant to play that deep into the game.
Yeah! Swipe could not be essential with Moonfire, Wrath and Wild Pyromance. Thanks!
Dropped from Rank 6 to Rank 10. It's not your deck I've just been really unlucky lately. It was good, I've have winning positions a lot, it's just my luck is trash because Yogg gave me 50 health and a stacked board and I still lost when they had 7 health...
If you're not getting Jades then it's just way too slow against all of these aggro decks
Hello guys!
When I noticed that Stan has posted new deck I knew immedieatly IT will be something epic and I was right!
I have noticed that a lot of people were playing this deck on ladder rank 5+, at least on EU server.
I really love this deck and I am really surprised that noone came up with this idea. It just creates insane beast deck WTH.
So I decided to show you the mirror match! There is a lot of interactions you have to learn if you did not already (like me) that are shown in the video!
I hope you can enjoy it :) If you do please subscribe to my channel :)
Nice one sir!
For those asking about Malygos, note that in the Karazan meta the deck also had living roots and thuarissan, so the potential burst was MUCH higher than the 12 you can get atm
I can't help but think that Malygos is better than Yogg-Saron, Hope's End
praise be to yogg saron, he has saved me countless times
did you mean godd-saron?
Think logically, what value could you get out of Malygos, when u play him? 12 damage from Moonfire, that´s it.
Fun deck, I went 5-3 at rank 10 and it's fun! :)
I did drop 2x Moonfire for 2x Doomsayer, and I didn't regret it for a second.
along with idk Gadgetzan Auctioneer :)
Great deck! Really fun to play against shaman and aggro!
Not a good deck for this meta. It´s fun, but not competitive.
or maybe you're just shit lol
What do you think about deathwing/malygos instead of yogg? I refunded him last year after nerf and I don't really feel like crafting him
If u wanna sub then def its Maly, cuz deathwing would throw off ur hand and thats something u wont want to do in any situation with a jade-based deck.
