Druid was never gone, Jade stayed Tier One even after the nerfs
I don't think Jade has ever been out of top tier since its inception. Pretty compelling evidence that it has always been way too strong.
Blizzard's half-hearted attempt at a soft-nerf with Skulking Gheist was laughable at best. And now with the addition of Malfurion and that "0-Mana 7/7 for teh lolz" , it's gone from overpowered to plain stupid.

Warlock players strongly disagree. Besides, it helps keeping Priest at bay.

What? No! Jade Druid was ultra trash before UI, despite having a high number of people playing it, the winrate was one of the worst a highly-played deck had in all times (below 45%, one of the worst decks ever played by a big majority).
Only reason Jade Druid became so strong is because UI not only made it better, it also fixed quite a few of its problems.

And yet, back in December 2016, Jade Druid was ranked in the Top 4 of best decks for the meta and was used to achieve Rank 1 Legendary.

Not bad for an "ultra trash" deck... ^_^
first week of msog? I mean cmon first week decks aren't really known for maintaining consistency.
Just look a few weeks further, its at the bottom of tier 3 and it stood there for months until the release of knights of the frozen thrones.
don't try to back your bad argument with meaningless first-week meta deck shit, the deck held the worst winrate ever documented on a highly played deck, and no random "but I still like it" will make it not happen.

This is circular reasoning. Jade Druid always was top Tier, because it always was too strong. Which is proven by the fact that is was always top Tier... etc. Your "evidence" is basically the same as the claim it is supposed to support.
Nah, Jade Druid was not always top Tier. Jade Druid always was one of the decks People liked the most to complain about. If you state that Jade Druid was always too strong (or Top Tier), you need to provide support for that statement besides your gut feeling. If I say it wasn't alwyas top Tier, I can do the same. See VS from January, February 2017:
Back after MSoG , aggro Shaman and Pirate Warrior were king. And Druid did not have good means to fight early tempo or had good lifegain (besides Feral Rage) . At it's Peak (pre-nerf, post KoFT), Druid had 5 mana Spreading Plague and an unnerfed Innervate to swing the game even more with Ultimate Infestation . But I also am a Little bit surprised since I thought Jade Druid is much better than the Data show.

Also in December 2016 it was Tier 3 (Tier 4 in Rank 5 or above), even though someone can reach rank 1 with the deck:
The evidence LITERALLY said it was Tier 1. But, by all means keep believing your own story until it feels true, if you want. /smh

Wow. That's your argument? Lol! Ok, then. It wasn't Top Tier always because "I don't think it was...? So nyah!..." Good job, Sherlock. That's some great circular reasoning right there! XD

It seems like everybody and his mom is playing a mashup of Jade / Token druid right now.
At least, that was my experience yesterday anyway! Sigh!
Would be nice to face something other than this for a bit - getting a bit samey!
Haven't even seen a priest for like 2 days! Lol!
Indeed it is, I've played 4 games today already and 3 of them Druid.
hmmm and are you playing druid, because we cant see your class :)
My last 3 games was vs. priest...
Yeah priest stone is back....
my experience is quite the opposite for today, it's been a mixture of keleseth rogue/warlock decks i've mostly been facing.
Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.
that's funny, because all of my games have been Razakus priest or Keleseth Rogue.
and I'd rather take a Jade druid over that any day, to be honest with you.
druid it's tier 1 deck. both big, jade and agro,
Pretty compelling evidence that it has always been way too strong.

I wish my decks were ultra trash

You can farm jade/big druid with frost mage Jaina deck with geist. It is just 50/50 against those stupid aggro deck. -_-
This is my deck. http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/964645-anti-priest-druid-deck
It own most big deck. just get own by ultra aggro deck. The meta is so extreme. There is no longer room for mid-range.
What do you mean druid stone is back?
It never left :D
Innervate nerf just made ultimate infestation go off on turn 6-7 instead of 5-6. (on average)
Spreading plague nerf didn't change anything. At all.
Jades are still ebola <3
/smh
