Please stop crying because JD is the most un-fun deck to play against and will completely ruin the fun we are about to have in KOFT. You got a direct nerf because it needed to happen. Please play some more JD and then cry some more because I will run Skulking Geist in my decks until I see no JD more a full week. We will smile when we eat your Jade Idol and when you concede, we will be satisfied. You probably have no idea how frustrating playing against JD when you are clearly the more skilled player but it doesn't matter. Rest in peace you soulless monsters.
Sincerely, Control Decks and those who actually play the game to have fun.
Jd won't be played for 2 days and then it will be just as popular as it is now because no one will want to fit Geist in their deck when they realize they are playing a 6 mana 4/6 vanilla card, and then people will play Geist again and not face a single jd and then come to the forums to complain how bad their luck is. There won't be less jd because of this card, there will just be greedy people and ungreedy people to play against it.
I like the fact that Geist was introduced. It was almost impossible to beat a deck that can generate infinite and escalating value. It's not like it was a bad matchup. It was strictly impossible to win unless you had an aggro list.
This thread was squarely aimed at the guy who started the 'Control kids' thread and denied being a jade druid player even though it was obvious as hell. Amirite?
Totally agree. And the luck they have too! Yesterday with a Control Paladin I played perfectly, countered all his jades. He was about to lose and he played Yogg. Yogg pyroblasted my face and filled his board with taunts. GG.
Inb4 Jade Druid simply adjusts its game plan, moving away from the Auctioneer strategy and towards a more top-heavy value-centric design and beats you even more often that way.

Control decks will always have room for one tech card, specially if that tech instantly kills a tier 1 deck they are unfavorable against. The very existence of this card will be enough to kill JD, cuz unlike the crabs, this tech doesnt give their target deck a fighting chance. The sooner you realize JD is dead the better son lul
Jade Druid isn't dead. Jade blossom, Aya, Jade behemoth, and jade spirit still exist. I think people are forgetting that.
I don't think people forget that, I just think they realize that those aren't all that scary for a control player. Control can deal with that. They can't deal with a board that went from clear to full 13+ Jades, which you will not be able to accomplish with the listed tools.
Your all predictions will fail after the release. You're right about only one thing. Existing of Skulking Geist will decrease Jade Druids on ladder but it is not a direct counter for that deck. Skulking Geist just answers Jade druid's infinity. Jades are still powerful without Jade Idol. Also there is a fact that it isn't guaranteed probability of your turn6 Skulking Geist. Also If you can't answer the Jades until 6th turn it will be already hard to beat a Jade Druid. Actually, There are some ways of decreasing the harms of Skulking Geist. A good player can use these ways. We will get rid off those who playing Jade Druid idiotically and That's the point.
What I'm trying to say is Skulking Geist will lower the Jade Druid's effectiveness but won't kill him.
Memedeck-seeker. Always tries to build new decks. Hates tournements, streamers, netdecks and poor-o players. ah, but a tournement mode could be great !!!
I loved Jade Druid but I think Jade Idol deserved nerf or card like this. I don't really like this new epic because it kills some other archetypes. They could just nerf Jade Idol and best way to nerf it is that you shuffle "Jade Summoner: Summon Jade Golem".
As a Druid main it's funny to see people complain about Jades when it's not even the best late game deck. You're gonna beg for Jades to come back when Exodia mages are everywhere
As much as I like Jade Druid and enjoy playing with it, there is always going to be something we think is trash. First was Murlocs, then pirates, then dragons, then back to pirates, and Jade. It's a never ending cycle. And I get that. But what if instead of all of this anger and frustration, we all just enjoy the hard work that the creators have put into this game. And when someone makes a good play, we congratulate them instead of calling them names and swearing up and down about how butt hurt you are that you can't win against any decks. Now I know I have a hell of a time against Jade Druid and Murloc Paladin, but I also know that it's not gonna ruin my day if I lose a single match.
I actually dont like the new card skulking geist, because even tho it messes up jade druid, which is really great and will slow the meta down for sure, also screws up some other fun decks. Thinking about decks like inner fire priest, maybe some malygos decks (that otherwise MAYBE could have come into play)
Yeah, bye Malygos as well. Uninterative gimmicky deck.

Geist will kill Jade Druid as much as Reno killed Aggro...
Have fun with it.

Custom cards :
CLASSES : Alchemist (CCC#5 | Phase V) | Chef (CCC#4)
EXPANSIONS : Year of the Scorpion (Year Comp)
It's stupid really. Oh he drew his Auctioneer, oh he drew innervate too. Great, am I allowed to play yet? Oh wait, you won.

The only difference will be that Jade Druid is no longer an auto-win in control matchups.
Remember, a midrange Jade Druid deck should still have an advantage against control, if only because it's midrange.
A more controlly Jade Druid should be closer to a 50-50 shot.
