It's kind of amazing me right now that so many people are focused on Jade Druid.
I just climbed to legend using Priest and Paladin all the way up to mid rank 2 at which point I just could not break through the wall of Aggro Druids (at least without losing my sanity). So like a sniveling coward I switch to Aggro Druid - a deck I have very little familiarity with. I won 75% of games at high rank and was able to concede early when they were not working. I achieved legend from mid rank 2 within a hour or so. THIS DECK IS TOO EASY TO PILOT AND WAY TOO POWERFUL!
Nerfing innervate is the only way out I can see. The meta is garbage at the moment.
Jade druid is the problem because it keeps control decks in check which can beat aggro druid.
Seriously, fuck jade druid and fuck every single retard who plays jade druid. I have played during the FoN+SR combo days, that deck wasn't even half as powerful as this jade bullshit but it got nerfed. Yet, this stupid abomination of a deck still defines the fucking meta. It kills control and just because it kills control it turns meta into an aggro meta which also gets dominated by its brother, the token druid. Quest rogue was less problematic than this deck yet it got nerfed, too. If Blizz wants to have a balanced game, they have to nerf at least 2 and maybe up to 4 or 5 druid cards. UI and plague are the first ones to go. The other cards that should be hit by the nerfhammer are blossom and idol, these 2 cards are too cheap for their effects imo. I don't really want innervate to be gone because I think it's part of the class identity but if it's necessary to balance druid then it should get nerfed as well.
Actually the card turned out better than I expected. I knew jade druid would still be damn strong and Skulking Geist can only help in fatigue matchups. Though I would have never thought that Geist can get wins against jade druid, I have never expected to beat druids with good hands with my control warlock but this card surely helps in beating them.
would a reno deck with a combo like that work? like, you will have to play at least velen, kazakus and raza. playing more minions can kill your wincon so you need. wouldn't a deck with more card draw be more consistent?
1) I completely overlooked Brann Bronzebeard leaving standard as a factor for why C'Thun fell out of popularity. He significantly sped up the deck to a speed that had a chance against a lot of aggro. I somewhat disagree with the idea of Dirty Rat entering standard being a defining issue, as any "discard" effect against the opponent will always be harmful against control, and yet we still had control decks existing in various stages of the MSoG meta.
Alright, it makes sense that losing Brann is a negative for C'Thun decks but you can't dismiss the effect of Dirty Rat, why doesn't C'Thun decks work in wild then? Brann still works in that format, right? Bad aggro matchups(pirate warrior) are a possibility for the decline of C'Thun decks even in wild but Dirty Rat destroys your win-condition against control decks, too. Which matchup are you supposed to win when you are unfavored against aggro and control both?

Blackwing Corruptor which is arguably the best card in dragon decks is in the last wing of BRM.
