Please correct me if I'm wrong:

6 mana to put a 3/6 in field + one golem 1/1 (two with Brann).

What's so great, both minions have low atk. It wouldn't be a big flaw, if the card wasn't expensive, but it is.

Taunt doesn't save this card imo.

This druid card seems underpowered, so I voted -> bad.

 

 Every time you summon a Jade Golem, it grows in power based on the number summoned so far.

The first Jade Golem summoned is a 1/1 creature.  The second is 2/2, and so on all the way up to 30/30 I believe.

By the time you reach turn 6 (or turn 5 with the coin), you might have summoned 2-3 other Jade Golems via cheaper cards.  If Jade Behemoth is your 3rd card to summon a Jade Golem, you get a 3/6 Taunt as well as a 3/3 vanilla minion, and your next Jade Golem will be 4/4.

Overall, this card seems pretty good, since it can put a speed bump down to protect the newly summoned Jade Golem and/or your face.

So if you have Brann in field, Jade Behemoth summons a 1/1 minion and 2/2 minion, possibly even better than that, in a Druid deck focused in Jade Golem.

I'm calling this shit now, druid is going to be tier 1 or 1.5. if you played this on a perfect curve youj'd have a 4-7 attack range golem, so by turn 6 you already have a taunt on board PLUS a big body. I really wonder how control warrior will handle this deck. unlike C'thun where it's just 1 card growing bigger and bigger, golems are just tokens that keep coming back over and over again. So when you reach Aya blackpaw, you have a 10/10 body that most decks will have a hard time dealing with. I am however curious about the interaction with hex. If it is similar or the same as c'thun, then midrange shaman will have reign for another 4 months.

Hex should have little to no effect on jade golem cards

I voted 'Very good', here's why:

Taunt minions are strong, they have an immediate impact on the board, we all know that they are actually playable compared to regular stat minions like 3/5 Elise Starseeker. Basically in Tempostone, you play cards of these types only: Battlecry (impacts board state), charge (impacts board state if it has divine shield it's a tempo swing sometimes), taunt minions (impacts board state by preventing ideal trades from hurting your tempo) and lastly deathrattle (to counter simple removal, to resist stuff that impacts board state).

So it's a taunt minion, it has potential. It's not as good as something like Fire Elemental, a card that costs the same and promotes a tempo swing. However, summoning a 2/2, 3/3, etc behind a taunt minion is HUGE. It's basically a delayed charge minon, or a way of overloading your opponent by about 2 mana and discards a card from their hand (it takes about 2 mana and a card from hand to remove a 3/3). If it isn't removed, the 2/2 golem or 3/3 golem (on average) will trade for something, maybe just do damage, etc, AND you still have the 3/6 taunt minion, which is amazing stats. It's like a Sludge Belcher but witout death rattle, has battyle cry instead, and the minion it summons hides behind the 3/6 body. Even if someone counters this card with The Blackknight, the 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, etc body still exists on board, so the devasting tempo swing is no longer as sever as TBK countering Ancient of War.

I'm telling you guys now. Next expansion Druids will have the ability to get two 5/5s with stealth PLUS ANOTHER 5/5 on turn 6 with two cards and 11 mana cost over two turns. That's 15/15 for 11 mana over two turns.. AND TWO OF THEM ARE STEALTHED. Druids are going to be so OP!!! 

...Or we'll just stick to Maly cuz it's faster, more consistent and already counters control.

Really tough to gauge right now. All comes down to whether or not the Jade Golem archetype is a strong deck as a whole, and doesn't sacrifice too much at the start.

If it is a playable archetype, then this card is basically at least a 3/6 taunt + 3/3 golem (as well as making future golems bigger). Statwise that's certainly playable (6/9 for 6), but the split of the two is an issue - 3/6 coming down at 6 mana means it's coming at a time where that awesome body is far less effective, as 3/6s are fantastic against 1-3 drops but average against anything bigger.

If it's not a playable archetype, a 3/6 taunt and 1/1 body for 6 isn't even close to decent enough.

Will be curious to see. I honestly can't call this one - my gut says "too gimmicky", but then Grim Patron also seemed really gimmicky and that deck was phenomenal.

seems fair wonder if there will really be some good deck around jade golem

I find this card super powerful for Jade Golem theme.

A 3/6 taunt for 4 mana would be good, so the Jade Golem only has to be worth 2 mana. At turn 6 that should be almost a given, so it's a good card!

so many 6 drops for druid already though
