I'm so happy with this. This card alone may make Control Warrior or Control Priest viable. I missed them dearly!

I don't think this will destroy Jade Druid though. It's a hard counter to the Gadgetzan-Idol variant, but Jade Druid could morph to still be viable. I'm very interested in seeing what will end up happening.

Favorite card so far of the expansion. 10/10

One thing I really like about this card is, people need to actually think when playing jade druid haha.  It's still a very viable deck (as Jade Idol is the only really good 1 mana cost spell there I think).  They just need to be smarter about trading and whatnot, instead of just mindlessly going to fatigue.

People who are overreacting need to calm down, seriously haha. We needed an answer to jade druid, and we got it.

Literally Meta-Defining lol. You can also remove Evolves from token shaman, Shield slam and Whirlwind from control warrior, and Soulfire from discolock. You also mess up combo Inerfire-Lyra priest.

Not to say that if there ever was a chance to Quest Paladin to be a thing, this shuts it down very harshly. Very good vs secrets to btw.

Edit: Forgot about Ice Lance, really good against this think. Can remove Hallucination, Cold Blood, Conceal and Petals from Miracle too.

It's a card only good against a 1 specific deck that 1 specific class plays.

Eater of Secrets wasn't played. This won't see play except MAYBE in tournaments as a tech card in conquest format in a specifically anti-druid deck.

Also worth noting when Gadgetzan rotates out next year; this card will be completely worthless.

The most horrible card design i've ever seen in Hearthstone : if you're playing Jade Druid, this card basically reads, "Battlecry: Lose the game" : Such Fun, Much interactivity.

Also this card will also catch a lot of fair & fun decks in the crossfire : i had a blast in the past few months playing "Banana Priest" and "Discover Rogue", but both those deck will be heavily crippled because of that card, and for no good reason.
This also kill any hope for The Last Kaleidosaur ever becoming viable, and ruins the day of people wanting to meme their way with Explore Un'Goro.

A straight nerf to Jade Idol would have been infinitely better than this monstruosity.

 Silence Priest and Evolve Token Shaman are crying in the corner too, you know. Control Warrior also loses Shield Slam and Whirlwind, a deck that may come back thanks to this very card.

Eater of Secrets will always be played in combo decks as long as Ice Block is relevant, and has been played in Freeze Mage this meta.

Thats how tech cards work, just cuz a card is not Dr. Boom doesnt mean it cant define a meta. /facepalm

Also, i'm sick of this kind of "must include" answers : how can i build a deck based on synergies, when i have to sacrifice more & more deckslots to things like Skulking Geist, Eater of Secrets (because Ice Block) or weapon destruction (Atiesh & pirates) ?

Quote from Spartanburg >>

So this Geist really effs with that gameplan, since it forces you to keep it in your mulligan, making your opening hand waaaay worse than if you sent it back. You're playing with a card less than you were before, essentially. Not only does Geist run Jade Druid into the ground, but it also makes Quest Mage (aka the most powerful control deck in the meta) way less consistent and therefore weaker.

This card WON'T see much play guys! This is only insurance tech card. Stop going crazy about it.

No, it means you now have a finite amount of resources, like all other Jade decks.  It brings Jade Druid to a much more fair and balanced level.  

Those other decks you named aren't even in the meta, so who cares.

 I thin he has a point.  This card, while a jade killer, really hurts any sort of experimentation with 1 mana spells.  It actually limits the ability for experimentation if most are running this.  

I am not too worried though, there is always wild.  

Blizz making mistakes after mistakes. First of all, you can't punish whole classes for just Jade Idol it's not fair.  Second, this card will limit the design space and they will change it because of that reason just watch it.

I never hated any card as much as I hate Jade Idol but this is not the right way to fix things.

I am not a fan of this at all. It's the wrong way to go about the problem IMO. I guess they are really sticking to their guns by only rotating cards once a year though since Auctioneer is the real degenerate. 

While im happy to see this card as it makes mill slightly more viable again i dont understand why they didnt just look to make the effect destroy 1 cost cards either in the hand OR the deck, that to me would seem much more balanced since it still give combo decks a chance. This just destroys so many decks
