Hi guys,
I am back to show you my Jade Druid which I have played on ladder all the way from rank 2 up to Top 100 Legend since expansion release on EU:
The mulligan is all about ramp cards so you want to have Wild Growth and Jade Blossom, you can keep Innervate and I always keep an Jade Idol to play a 1/1 on turn 1 if I can. You can consider to keep Wrath and Swipe (only with Coin) vs Pala and Warrior.
Usually the game plan is to ramp into Nourish for carddraw and start to build up your jades beside of that but it is important to know each match up in the new meta to be able to play the right card on the right turn!
I started to play this list at rank 2 with one star and went 10-0 to Legend but I only tracked my games since I hit it so here are my stats from ~ 500 up to rank 88:
I will add a detailed guide, explaining each match up of this meta to make sure that you will have success with this deck if there is interest!
Make sure to follow me on twitter, I usually post the decks I play!
Super interested in the Match Up Guide. It's my first Jade and I think i suck a bit playing it, actually only 50% Win right now on Rank 14. Aggro is pretty bad, since the only early Game seems to be Crypt Lord and some situational Removal.
Yogg sometimes saves my ass but does not seem reliable ;) Am I missing something on how to play? Gotta say I haven't crafted Fandral yet cause I feel he gets removed like all other 6 health Minions and would not make a big difference in the early Game. Only late, which I tend to win.
my deck does not run crypt lord :) without Fandral I think it makes no sense to play this deck anyway. you never play him for tempo, only in addition with "choose one card" in the same turn to get value from him because he obviously has to get removed directly from your opponent in the next turn. you also cannot win any jade mirror if your opponent plays fandral and you not. I am not sure about writing another full guide tbh since this deck does not really get the attention and upvotes to make that effort worth it this time.
Thanks for the answer! I actually just won against a deck that had Fandral :D but yes I will craft him now. But how you win against aggro with only 1x Spreading Plague? Or do the people just play other decks at Rank 1? ^^
just mulligan for swipe, wrath and plague if you expect aggro.. of course it is hard to win vs decks like pirate warrior but at top 100 legend I only face mirrors and priests atm.
Once again you dropped a fantastic deck for the community!
Played this from Rank 2 till Legend (12-2)
Really appreciate your effort - keep it up!
glad to read this dude! and gz for legend :)
Hey. I don´t have Yogg and Black Knight. Some substitutions? Thank you. :)
yes, just play 2 x mire keepers or second plague and the lich king.
I´m trying now 2x Bonemare. But I will definitely try to change it and see how is it the best. :P
ok, I guess adding bonemare's in any kind of deck seems good atm :D good luck!
Hi, found your deck in the forums, you seem to be a knowledgeable guy. I am sitting on 12K dust at the Moment with very bad draws in KFT. I never played Druid much cause I did not have the cards but Jade seems super fun (and strong).
I also saw the greedy Thjis Deck and because I drew cards like Arfus and Prince Taldaram I thought it would be time to craft the Druid cards, which would be Malfurion the Pestilent, Fandral Staghelm and Aya Blackpaw and Ultimate Infestation.
That is A LOT OF DUST for class specific cards and its tough to decice. Would you say it is worth it? Not only from a power level but also a fun level? I will definitly keep some dust for other Decktypes as well, but maybe now is the time to give Druide a go. Just sucks that a lot of cards leave the meta soon and to craft them so late.
so far I would say that it is worth it to craft druid cards, I cannot see how it should not be tier 1 with at least 1 deck in near future (today it is tier 1 with even 2 decks in my opinion - jade and taunt/midrange). you are in a similar situation than one of my best friends who asked me what to play now and in the end he spent all his dust to craft Fendral, Malfurion and 2 x Ultimates to play my deck. as a result, he climbed from rank 10 to 5 in one day. jade druid might suffer when the meta will be settled and decks like pirate warrior will be more common again but you cannot be sure when this will happen so for now, jade druid is the deck to go!
thank you. Would Fendral or Malfurion be more important? And do you see a place for Lich King? IS there a definitve need for 2x Ultimate Infestation? Just trying to save some dust here and there ;)
sorry but I feel like Fendral and Malfurion and also 2 x Ultimates should be core cards atm!
for sure you can play lich king but than you should rather cut a tech card like yogg, spellbreaker of black knight!
ok cool than I guess i will craft them! Still cheaper than a Pala deck :D
+ cheaper than kazakus priest xD
