I've seen Thijs and Kolento play a very cycle oriented deck that tries to fight for board presence as early as possible. Their highest cost minion is 6 or 7 mana(ancient of war) and really daws very quickly into their decks. Thus it can be almost concluded that jade Druid need no greedy cards such as rag or yogg anymore as win condition.
It also seems that they do relatively well against pirate warrior because of the jade elephant and tech in some taunt, so I was wondering did people underestimate the potential of jade decks? Druid has good cheap spells to remove small minions early and late game seems to be not that much of a problem. Although I admit that midrange shaman or dragon priest are strongly favored if curved out well, at least for jade Druid with fast cycle anything can be possible.

Zoo is actually quite good as well against Jade Druid.
I tried zoo against jade Druid, sometimes it is easy when they have bad draws but sometimes it gets very hard. When I try to remove their minions instead of going all face, they can take a breath and cycle, which means zoo is still not aggressive enough. If I go all face, I am taking the risk of being punished by swipe or removals
unless you find room for doomsayers and mistress of mixtures in the list pirate warrior will run over druid by turn 4 or 5. and then if you make space for those you lose % in your good matchups, so youre better off not putting in any tech cards tbh. but maybe ooze isnt the worst inclusion
Shaman is very "balanced" with its old cards already ^_^
I don't see many shamans right now, but I hear they are 60% vs pirate warrior. Are they losing to priest and renolock?
Played a couple of matches yesterday with my itteration of midrange shaman, vs pirate: 1-1, vs jade druid: 3-0, vs reno priest 1-0. Haven't played any other decks, I don't have a lot of time every day so, yeah, focus on board clears, don't use barnes, I switched 1 mana totem for 1 ancestral knowledge, didn't want to switch completely to AK because of the totem synergy with Thing From Below, is still a work in progress.
Maybe 1 jinyu is what the deck lacks to stay completely stable against aggro.

The honest truth is that any deck can tech against any other deck. The issue is that you suffer in the other matchups.
I saw Thijs list, and it's great. But he's going to lose a lot of value from his anti aggro cards against other decks.
The elephant is amazing if it can come down early. If it doesn't, it comes too late.

I actually find Jade Shaman to do very well agaisnt aggro and many control decks.
jade druid is nzoth pally from wotg. its too slow against aggro and gets murked by reno
