Vote for it if you like it.
I get it but why are you directing this at Jade Druid players? They didn't make the card, Blizzard/Team 5 did.

As many have said before, I don't think JD will disappear (assuming Skulking Geist probes to be good enough to fit in control and midrange decks...)
They still have many viable Jade generators. However, they won't be able to use that brain-dead Auctioneer + Idol combo which really was the main problem (to be able to prolong the game infinitely and throwing multiple 1 14/14's+ per turn was just stupid). So, the archetype will still exist but it will become something more manageable for other decks.
Now freeze mage, I think that is more problematic than JD...

Wow the salt in this op is strong ...
I played alot aginst jd as control and i didnt think it was that bad, just have to get their hp low enough in early game, save boardclears for essential moments and either kill them before it gets too tough or make sure they got no hand left. I played jd druid myself and you really got to manage your healing and know when to invest in the board. It sure as hell aint that bad of a deck, neither to play against or play with.
There are alot more decks that are kinda non-fun in my humble opinion bec you cant really interact with it (speaking about combo decks that can kill you from 30 hp, its like: ok you drew your combo now im dead, that was fun i guess ...)
some examples about some decks:
Malygos shaman: oo i drew my perfect set of cards, now you die from 30 hp without being able to do anything
quest mage: oo i played the right amount of cards + drew my combo pieces, now you die from 30 hp without being able to do anything
pirate warrior: no explanation needed
token druid: flappy bird or shtload of tokens
token shaman: same old
etc ....
MY point is that there will always be 'unfair' decks, but instead of being so salty try to counter them and optimise your deck, dont 'hate' on a deck bec you lost a few games against it ....
I didn't know that there is free wifi in the salt mines.
Eh, the more you know! :)
OP, I think you have an odd understanding of the word "direct" lol.
A direct nerf would be DIRECTLY nerfing Jade Idol, not introducing a marginally useful tech into the meta.
I'm well aware that Skulking Geist won't completely nullify Jade decks, but knowing it exists, and will be used, will help to mitigate the current form of the Druid ridiculousness. And when those decks inevitably move towards a less gimmicky way of generating value, and matches actually have to become a proper back and forth again, instead of 5 turns in a row of constantly growing Golems... Jade will be fun to play AGAINST again, which is all we really wanted.
This is gaming. Game designers always make some items overpower. to make that game's community active like this thread.
Once you put Geist into your deck, you will automatically not get queued into Jade Druid.....ever.
You're all just trading in one cancer for another. Stop pretending like this is some great justice. Hypocrites.
