Exodia  eats jade mostly because of netdecking, Zalae gave a good overview of how you beat exodia mage with jades on Omni/, one of first advices was never shuffle jade idols and just go face as much as possible, never take 3 armor but do 3 damage to face against exodia, jade Druid basically should become face deck against exodia mage...

 I did all this and it works vs some mages but a skilled exodia player will usually beat you anyway .

exodia player outlook:

just played a match where he milled my antonidas.

a pro exodia player would : keep playing and have faith in your spells from cabalists tombs + sorceror discounts to beat him still.

a noob exodia player would concede automatically.

I put faith in my tombs and 5 sorcerors and got 2 pyroblasts + 5x3 from sorcerers GG.

i wanted to ask you guys about any good strategies vs the allmighty priest decks. i dont have enough dust to join them or get the quest mage going, but as the ladder in eu is full of them(20 games 15 were priests), i hope to get some advice how to beat them consistently.

First time competing in ranked mode! While I know I will get much hate, the majority of my pack openings gave me druid cards. I literally opened up a gold Malfurion followed by two ultimate infestations. So I am playing Jade druid. Currently making my push towards rank 10. I am only two stars away. 

lol jade druid is amazing. literally can make a lot of mistakes but the OP deck will make up for it. 

Hit legend 2 days ago. Rank 15 to 3 with Jade druid, then Pirates to Legend. 

Managed to reach rank 10, which is the furthest I've gotten because I don't grind a lot. I could try to go for Legend or at least rank 5, but I dunno if I have the time or 'stamina' if you will. Even with a tier 1 deck like the Druids or Pirates :p

Was gonna go for legend today since I had a few hours to spare, but my 75%-ish winrate plummeted to just over 60% today and climbing was really slow. I'm at rank 2, 4 stars though so I'm on my way.

Grats!

For those who have hit legend before - I am currently rank 2 with 1 star.  About how much longer do I have to go?  If I put in ~10 games a day, is it reasonable that I should hit legend by the end of the month?  

Playing Hemet + AB Razakus.

Fighting way up with Paladin. I hate mirror matches, so i always tries to play non-meta deck, but usually cant beat rank 2. 

Just hit legend with jade druid. It's still busted and braindead.

hard to say. but only 10 games a day isnt much. your 10 wins away, i guess if you gain a star a day it makes sense but you can easily lose 6 out of 10 and going backwards. so in essence it makes sense i dont think 10 games is enough. 

I want to share my 1st time Legend experience with you guys...

***DECENTLY LONG READ BUT WORTH IT***

I tried to hit legend for 3 years, and purchasing the pre-purchase packs + additional packs but never was able to get legend. Max i ever did was rank 2. This particular season, i ranked up quite fast... Got rank 5 within first 2 weeks of season with Jade Druid, and was able to push to rank 4 with Asmodai Rogue. The Asmo Rogue started to lose traction against the wave of Jade Druids rank 4 on wards so i tilt-switched into Aggro Druid and did surprisingly well. Was able to hit rank 3 while doing Stairmasters at the gym with pretty high win rate, and thought to myself "this is it". My buddy then posted to our group chat on the same day that the nerfs were now live. This meant the nerf to Innervate was going to kill my Aggro Druid deck.

He posted the nerfs screenshot on his computer to the group chat, but i was still playing Aggro Druid with Innervate un-nerfed. I quickly raced home, thinking to myself it was probably a glitch, and prayed that when i got home my Innervate would still be +2 mana. My iphone opened up Hearthstone again and still no nerfs. I knew i had to do it right then and there and hit Legend. I buckled down, and grinded for 2 hours. Played against other players who still did not receive the nerfs yet, so it was a level playing field. From rank 3 to legend, i only played against a small pool of players since the majority of players already received the nerfs. Opponents consisted of 50% Jade Druid, 20% Aggro Druid, 20% Priest, 10% Pirate Warrior. Kept banking on my lucky innervate turns, where the opponent would just concede within turn 4 or so. 

The final boss (game to legend) i already knew i was going to be legend right when i got my first mulligan. 2 Innervates, Flappy Bird, and some 1 drop. I did not even bother to mulligan any cards. Opponent concedes on 4th turn again, and i finally hit my legend. Quickly hopped onto my PC, opened hearthstone and VOILA the nerfs went live for me.

This all happened at 10~11pm PST, so it was a race against the clock. 3 years, ~$600 spent on adventures, packs, pre-purchases, and i finally did it. I want to especially thank Innervate for helping me achieve Legend before it died! 

Thanks for reading!!

This hybrid hunter is doing pretty well for me on ladder, I've reached rank 5 in 3 hours (already legend on Wild this season)
