I want to play Jade Golem decks (druid, shaman or rogue) but I have a very limited amount of dust right now. Is it safe to craft Aya Blackpaw ? Are jade golem decks good enough? I don't want to waste 1600 dust on a card I won't really use.
It's too early to say unfortunately. If you want to try it out, craft it I guess. Otherwise you could try playing another 6 drop there, like Sylvanas for example, and see when you draw her and what Aya would have done if played to analyze the card. Not perfect, but passable alternative for a very budget minded person :)
I crafted it when I was half throwing together a jade deck it will have value its a must in a jade deck... now if jade decks will even be a thing is another story.. what do I mean? I mean... if we think about it wasn't Maly Druid stronger than jade druid?
Although good Aya is not the deciding card for jade deck - but the other more common/rare cards are - if you already have them and really want to get into these 3 jadelotus classes go for it - otherwise wait a bit as the others said if you only want to get the best deck
If you run jade decks, Aya is a pretty key part of those, as she can get a lot of bodies out on the board for a reasonable cost. If you don't run jade decks, of course, she's useless. Also, try and save her for at least when you have 3 charges on your golems so she gets some sticky bodies out on the board.
Well I hate playing aggro so I don't really want to craft Patches
And even though I really really want to craft Kazakus, I don't have the important Priest epics (but I got Raza from pack), I don't have Inkmaster Solia for Mage, and I doubt that Renolock is even good right now.
yeah, she is not necessary but a really nice addition to make the deck better, currently I have run some midrange rogue with burgle stuff and jade stuff that just curves out, it seemed good but will never be fast enough to deal with pirates, probably don't craft until meta settles.

Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?

Renolock is the strongest deck I played since expansion release <_<
By the way, if you want to play Jade decks Aya is a safe craft: you won't need any other expensive card except her to build an efficient Jade deck. (except the one in my signature, nice things are expensive)
It depends on what you want to play.

Remember playing Control Shaman with Reincarnate shenanigans? No? It was fun, here's a refresher!
There are so few Jade Golem cards and spells in each class, especially Rogue. If you ever plan on playing a Jade Golem deck you absolutely must craft her.

Dependable loan sharks since 1960. We sink our teeth into every deal we make.

Really? What renolock are you playing? Because if it's the Alextrazsa+Leeroy combo version, I don't have Alexstrazsa unfortunately.
Also, what about Don Han'Cho? Are handbuff decks good right now?

I'm playing a N'Zoth Leeroy version, there isn't Alex in it.
Also, Don Han'Cho, I unpacked him and he's nice, Goon Hunter looks very strong (If you can land the Cho buff on Kodo or a charger it's gg). Also, Goon Paladin seems a nice deck as well (insanely fun to play those 14/14 Tirion+ 17/17 Happy Rag in same game), but I don't know if it will be good on the long run
It's probably a safe craft. Easily one of the best cards in Jade decks being able to bump your Golem count by 2. Even if Jade Golem decks fizzle out, Aya Blackpaw isn't unreasonable in a N'Zoth deck. It gives you 6/4 worth of stats that leaves a 2/2 behind making it a weaker Piloted Sky Golem, and the re-summoned deathrattle is very strong.
I beat every control deck with my own jade druid. More anti aggro and some surprises and the deck is perfect. Tier 2 for a deck that only is weak against maybe aggro warrior? xD

"... but not less than (1)" is needed now more than ever!
I could maybe see a Druid build that doesn't use her. She has a little bit of a "win-moar" quality: She dies to pretty much everything once you get her out, and she's not exactly cheap, so you're really running her for her battlerattle, not her board presence. That said, in the mirror you are racing to make your golems bigger than theirs, and in that matchup she's really good.
I crafted her and don't regret it. Guess your mileage may vary.

I got Solia from a pack and she's absolutely not needed, the only reason i don't remove her for my reno mage deck is because she has the coolest entrance animation of all legendaries ever made imho and i've waited for so long to get another usable mage legendary that removing her feels bad. the Solia+Kaz Potion combo happens rarely, yes sometimes she gets value from some spells but you can play Reno mage without her.

Just wait two weeks if you want to be sure.
Jade decks seem decent enough. They lose to aggro and fast midrange, but crush slow midrange and non-combo based control.
I'd imagine they'll stay tier 2 or 3, depending on how much aggro there is.

Kazakus and Patches are premium.
Jade decks are going to be tier 2 at best.

Hellyeahhh
It doesn't matter how good it is against Control if the meta is mainly aggro.
If it was a Control Meta. Jade decks would be God Tier. It is an aggro meta so they are tier 2 at best.
