Where are the buttons to play her audio? Her battlecry audio is so soothing :)

TYVM! Need to update the thumbnail for my videos, but didn't know where to get the art for her as a source material. She was the card I was most looking forward to for my Wild Jade N'Zoth Rogue deck

I agree that Zola the Gorgon will not make the cut. However, I'm also certain that Sonya Shadowdancer will. Yes, she's conditional. So are Unearthed Raptor, Shadowcaster, and even N'Zoth the Corruptor to some extent. But for every time she's a dead card in your hand, there's going to be X times where she catapults your winrate.

Sometimes you draw Valeera the Hollow after N'Zoth is dead, and every Jade card has been played. You still put her in the deck.

I think contending speculation is very healthy. It will be interesting to see who is correct. Or if there's not an (in)correct at all and it's just a matter of taste. I just saw that Elven Minstrel is a thing, and am wondering if/how that will fit into the deck. Or if the secrets will be worth playing. That said, going by my current deck list and the current meta, I'm reasonably certain that Sonya will be worth the include way more often than not.

Even though Shadowcaster is a thing, I still see people not killing Aya right away for example. If face decks start board controlling to prevent the possibility, then Sonya existing will benefit the deck even if you don't include her!

I wanted to check in and say thanks for the Shiv recommendation. With the spell damage in the deck, and the way the board gets minion clogged, I'm embarrassed I didn't put them in sooner!

Brann Bronzebeard, followed by a pair of Unearthed Raptors is a very fun meme. You can check out my youtube channel for various highlights; I've executed that a few times. The problem is that you get board choked and are unable to make full use of it. The Dane infinity loop can be a lot of fun. But with Valeera the Hollow you can already accomplish it.

I used to run Brann Bronzebeard. He's not bad, he just doesn't make the cut in my current list.

Have you seen some of the Kobolds and Catacombs reveals? I'm pretty excited about Sonya Shadowdancer. Zola the Gorgon looks interesting, but probably won't make the cut for me.

Thanks for your interest and input :)

There is nothing wrong with playing Unearthed Raptor on curve, or ever, even without a target. 3/4 on turn 3 is great, especially against aggro.

I like your idea of Shiv in place of Novice Engineer. I had considered it before. Don't recall why I chose not to. But the deck has a way of getting board locked. And as you observed, with the spell damage, it's going to often be better.

For this reason, I was surprised you don't find value in Fan of Knives. It is true that 50% of the time, I cycle it, which would make Mimic Pod better. But against aggro, it can be quite useful. I just hate how often it draws into Backstab lol.

I have Sylvanas Windrunner in my deck already. I also use Bonemare in my standard list. I don't use it in Wild, not for the DK, but because the deck is quite strong without them. Choosing to not include a card just for the DK I don't think is wise. Though costing 5 or less is certainly a consideration.

I would love to include a Shadowstep. I used to have some insane value games back when I had it in the deck. Aya Blackpaw becomes 4 cost, which allows you to Shadow Reflection her. Good times! Or how about making N'Zoth the Corruptor 8 cost, allowing you to cast him and Gang Up on the same turn? I guess that's the reason it's no longer in: I was often too greedy with it.

I really appreciate the feedback!

It's no secret that Priest is a dominant class right now. Loot Hoarder is weak against Potion of Madness, while Azure Drake is strong against Dragonfire Potion.

My other reservation to these alterations is that the deck already risks a diluted deathrattle pool, as well as fatigue.

All that said, the point of the deck is to have fun. So if that is fun for you, then I'm glad to have been a part of that :D

Sorry that I did not see your post sooner. Starting a couple days prior to the patch, I tweaked the deck to be Standard compliant. I toyed with the list a bit and have finally settled on a list I'm very comfortable with. You can find it here.

I'm really happy to hear of your success! Thanks for sharing :)

I'm proud that the deck has been able to out-jade Jade Druids from even before KFT.

I wanted to reply to let you know that I've been tweaking the decklist for awhile now on my stream. I've finally reached a list that feels very well refined. It has no Roll The Bones or equivalent, but still seems to draw everything right on time. This is due in part to upping the mana curve a bit.

I've edited the deck on this page, my description of it, as well as the link to a video. Be sure to check the changes out and let me know what you think! Awesome replay too!

Another tweak has been made to the deck: I've removed Shadowstep, Gang Up, and 1x Stonehill Defender for 2x Shadowcaster and Sylvanas Windrunner. Full explanation of why can be found in part 16 of my Wild N'Zoth Jade Rogue series here

Deck has been updated in the form of Brann Bronzebeard being replaced with Gang Up. Full explanation of why can be found in part 12 of my Wild N'Zoth Jade Rogue series here.

I'm sharing more games as I get better at piloting the deck and find myself in more and more extraordinary situations and comebacks. Check out this playlist for more: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq46mc4m-emBmRiq9pekjX0zcJDncTsIt
