Has anyone played since the card changes?  What's your experience with Jade Druid?  

Did you replace Innervate or Spreading Plague?

Quote from MrWinkle >>

Playing around with taking out Innervate and using 2 mire keeper instead, thought about naturalise as well. kept Spreading Plague because it still seems decent at 6 mana and you can ramp to 6 quickly anyway.

I'm trying Dirty Rat and Tar Creeper for aggro. Naturlize isn't a bad idea.

Aggro decks might become uncommon after nerfs so jades might get a little more greedy .

Cards like kun might become staple for example .

Have you tried version with spellbreaker and big game hunter ?

Blizzard: "Druid and Priest are too strong"

Also Blizzard: "Shaman and Warrior cards CORE to their class are getting nerfed you stupid fuckers"

Useless nerfs are useless

Quote from Fakerino >>

Jade druid plays exactly the same way Jade druid played before when you didn't have Innervate in the opening hand... so 70% of the games are unaffected. 

But Hey! At least they nerfed all the counters to Jade Druid so at least SOMETHING changed. 

Jade druid is stronger because the counter decks were nerfed. No need for Spreading Plague because the aggro decks that were able to beat jade are now nerfed. The only opposition to jade now is jade (lol) or priest. So the obvious choice would be to replace the 4 cards with some big drops and silences. Grab your coffee because this is going to be a slow ResidentSleeper meta.

I played it minimally before the patch, but I decided to try it again. I kept Spreading Plague, but got rid of Innervate and just added Mire Keepers. Pretty much the same thing and is still strong as hell....

 And what exactly is wrong with slower metas?  (also please keep the twitch meme bullshit in Twitch k?)

Jade's may be a problem still but the good thing is that jade and highlander decks will cycle in approximately 5 months, they aren't going to nerf either of them at this point.  

The reason Big Priest is a think is cause you literally need a RNG based highroll deck like that to compete against Jades.  Honestly Big Priest was a unique and interesting take on countering jade druid that didn't involve using Geist, or playing a faceroll aggro deck.  People are so quick to just fall back to the easiest course of action when they come across a deck that gives them problems.

"Uh Oh, Druid control is meta? Better play my hyper aggro warrior or murloc deck because i have no innovation".  Whomever actually first came up with Big Priest I have to give major props to for being innovative rather then falling back upon an aggro deck because they had no imagination whatsoever.

Also, deathstalker mid-range rexxar is like 20% of my games.  I'm sure rexxar will be more popular after today's nerfs as well.
