I thought Quest Hunter would be the thing this expansion with the +1/+1 Prince. Guess not.
meeeh, i don't like should read charge minions instead of 1 mana spells
edit: i also dislike it for the reason that it has no downside for being a tech card, even if not playing against Jade a 6 health Minion is decent in turn 6, because most of the current meta's minions' health pool caps at 4, imho, it should be a 6/3 like Hemet nesingwaray because this is so wide (deals with evolve, Jade Idol, rogue spells, razorpetals, innerfire combos) while hemet should actually have this statline because it only targets beasts and well....not many classes play beasts, hunter plays them and token druid plays fledgling, and there's the murloc dinosaur... but even they're not as common as 1 mana spells.

I didn't think the Paladin quest could get any worse. It's worse.
Instead of fixing Jade idol they break it. Cool.
Meta-defining simply because this will be the nail in Jade Druid coffin. I'm sure we'll see some meme decks attempted the way Hemet Giant was a thing for a week or two, but yeah this will be standard tech until Jade players simply stop playing. It's also interesting versus some other decks, but yeah.
EDIT: Derp. It says 1-mana 'spells' not 1-mana cards. Nix that Hemet idea. Still, hitting Jade Idol and Evolve make this card immediately meta-reshaping.
Balancing busted cards version 1.0.
this card is the definition of "meta defining" this card existance make jade druids' 70%~80% win rate against control to something like 30% without securing yourself from fatigue you can't win, or out value control decks.
I was wanting to play an Inner Fire Priest so I'm sad.
But, yesterday I threw together the greediest Warrior I could think of and still lost to Jade Druid so I'm happy.
This card cuts both ways IMHO.
I think this card highlights the problem with not being able to play on your opponent's turn. Lacking that ability, Combo decks are a problem, you can't do anything about them other than kill them before they go off. So, cards like this have to be introduced to keep them in check, so that control can exist. Yet this is just a non-interactive card to deal with a problem of non-interaction.
Can't be helped. They have traded the ability to be interactive for quicker games. And cards like this are the result. I don't know whether to cheer or cry really.
Personally, if I was a designer I would have expanded on Secrets, giving them to all the classes. I find secrets the most 'interactive' class of cards in the game. Instead of this you could have something like, 'When your opponent plays a spell counter it and remove all copies of it from the game'. You've hampered Jade a little, he now has to toss out a sacrificial Wild Growth or something before playing a Jade. Not a hard counter, like this but makes life a little more difficult without killing any archetypes.
No easy answers folks. This all comes down from the basic design of the game.

*sigh* single card hard counters to specific decks is a really pathetic way of balancing.
It would have been better for Blizzard to just concede that jade is a crap mechanic that imposes huge restrictions upon design space, and nerf it in some way.
Though I can see why Blizzard did it this way; $$$$$$$$.
Why do they always print Counter Cards. Honestly, why can't they just nerf the obvious problem card. Isn't one of the biggest advantages of Online TCG is that you can nerf cards on the fly?
Question, this card destroy a Elise pack in my hand if I have a Radiant Elemental in board?
