They will never nerf jade idol because it's not that great in this meta and the deck that runs it is a tier 2 or 3 deck atm.
However, I completely agree that it should be nerfed because it's TERRIBLE design and is a major reason for why the entire metagame is god-awful right now, because that card alone prevents any sort of mill/old fashioned control/fatigue deck from being played in any mode FOREVER. Great job blizz, you create a new card that has somewhat interesting design TO CREATE 1 NEW DECK. And in doing so, a good 20 decks are now unplayable and will never be playable ever again. Oh yeah and even if the druid doesn't run jade idol in their deck, they can discover it because every druid runs raven idol. There's also now hundreds of awesome cards like Leatherclad Hogrider and Daring Reporter that new players will open from packs and instantly disenchant because they're absolutely worthless, whereas before the expansion, you could've found some use for them. All because hearthstone REALLY needed ANOTHER "miracle" deck where the person cycles through their deck with auctioneer and plays nothing but card draw all game.
Druid has enough possibilities to cycle without auctioneer, they often run only 1. Sure that 1 is enough against control decks. But the problem is just that there are infinte threads. even drawin one 10/10+ minion each turn in the fatigue game will be more than enough to win. So you most of the time don't need auctioneer in the super late game. But I'm afraid Blizz thinks like that too. Auctioneer will get nerfed because of a stupidly designed druid card and rogue gets screwed again.
Jade idol created by jade idol should just not have the option of becoming three more jade idols again. Then the card would be completly fine. For druid this wouldn't be noticable in most games even, and it would allow control warrior to return. Which is desperatly needed considering that there aren't many other decks able to punish face strategies that hard...
C'Thun was played in legend too.
Vvreeeew.
the deck is better if you instead of playing a control game play aggressive, I have been running a midrange/aggro version that has mark of the lotus and some early game beasts and whatever the beast synergy buff is called, it has a good chance against control because it runs the jade idol and a single gadgetzan that allow it to cycle through and get big late value, but it also does not always lose to anything other than control because it has good early game tempo plays, I have won on turn 4 going second with two living roots for 1/1s and 2 mark of the lotuses dealing 6 damage on turn 2 and having 12/12 of stats because the shaman I was facing did not have anything threatening on turn 1 and 2. winning turn four is hard for most decks, and it is not easy for this but it is definitely possible which is rare, having a deck that can do that and also beat control decks is kind of too much, I was not scared of this card until I made this deck, now I am legitimately considering that it needs a nerf. please find a deck that beats this list:
Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?
A deck should be allowed to put some big value cards in and then try to get to them. It's one of the most basic card game strategies, and jade idol completely demolishes that idea.
It's silly... infinite value has no place in a game of finite removal.
Saying idol is bad because it counters fatigue /long games is no different that crying that control warrior completely shuts down freeze mage. It's fine. I didn't hear anyone calling to nerf armour gain when freeze had an almost unwinnable match up.
even if Jade idol shuffles 3 1 mana jade summoners into your deck you would still be favorable Vs slow control decks , with 4 neutral summoners , 4 class and 6 idols you have a + 14 14 jade golem as your last one . that's more than good enough . you would likely win vs most control matchs up but they have a fighting chance .
People defending the idol can't even do math
Even though jade golems are pretty strong late game, I voted NO. One kind of deck directly countering another is something we have all seen before, and it shouldn't come as a surprise. Back in the day of freeze mage, if you matched up against a control warrior it was an instant loss. The armor was just too much. It's the same thing here, if you want to counter Reno-lock/Reno-mage/(Reno-Priest?) or the majority of control decks you play one of the jade classes. The card doesn't need to be nerfed, maybe some kind of limit or some kind of card that's counters it (something like Eater of Secrets but with a different mechanic), but we don't need to see a brand new archetype of midrange to be nerfed.

People want thus card nerfed?
Plz Bliz dont take r dek sluts
Sorry that it shuts down Control Warrior. What for once, control warrior isn't a powerful deck in the meta? Oh the audacity. You can play Reno Mage, Priest, or Warlock and destroy Jade druid. You can also play any aggro deck and destroy jade druid.
As someone above said, maybe Control warrior should be nerfed cause it shuts down Freeze mage so bad. Oh I see, Freeze Mage is a bad type of deck so it is fine. Lol.
Tier 2 or 3 deck atm, Reynad said the Jade decks are just okay and doesn't understand why people would play them considering how much better pirate and reno decks are. What does he know, he's only rank 1 legend....while most people here complaining her are rank 20.
Guys dont nerf jade, I can't bullshit sea giant hunter otk on all the crappy jade players ;( (im not even kidding)
Guess what: Control Warrior is one of the few decks that require brain to play. Shutting it down? Bad. Why can't we have a meta where retarded face aggro decks are the one who suck, for once? Oh the audacity!
Also Freeze Mage isn't a deck archetype, control is. Freeze mage is one class, Control is open to every class.
Except it isn't, because other control decks inherently lose the fatigue game to Mr. Endless Minions.
And people play Jade decks because they're new. We're tired of the same endless face curve shit like Patches Warrior.
