Lately I've been playing some Jade Druid and it's pretty fun actually, and I'm interested to get to know how others play the deck, and the thing I mostly want to know is, what do you do with Jade Idol on T1? Personally, I usually just keep it in my hand and wait a bit to get more value from it.

Just

don't

shuffle

Neva shufl t1. aggro meta.

It's match-up dependent.

Play it

Summon your first one. If you shuffle you have more possibilities to draw it and no bueno in early game to draw these.

 So you just keep it, in order to not draw it you prefer to draw it first. Sounds solid

You should have a lot to play before you need to spam Jade Idols.

It's Summon it or keep. And keep only when you have a better play, like deploying Living Roots.

Against aggro even the second one may be wiser to summon instead of shuffling. Game won't last that long, a fast body will help you answer the almost unanswerable. Let's be honest, J.D. is the most polarized deck right now: feeds the over-popular aggro, punishes justice fighters... Double Evil. ;)

If your opponent is playing a slow, heavy deck and you are keeping a low value (ramp) hand, mulligan idols away

Else keep and summon as soon as you have floating mana

If you still have at least one idol left in your deck or hand, always summon a golem

If you have no more idols in your deck and hand and you expect the game to end before fatigue, use the last idol to summon

If you have no more idols in your deck and hand and you expect the game to go into fatigue, hold to prepare to shuffle

Shuffle only when you're about to draw many cards with auctioneer/nourish or you have a large hand that will fuel you for many turns or you are in fatigue
