I m calling it right now, this is a 4,5 to 5 stars card, very solid, very good against both control and aggro.
It helps you search for that 1 card you need in any situation . This is a life tap on steroids as in it gives you a chance to find that AOE or that late game win condition that is hidding in your deck.
I m going to take a risk and say this is the best priest card in the entire set.
a faceless manipulator for deathrattle that costs 2 is very good . In the case of deathrattle, you want the minion to die to get the effect not the other way around.
Here is a senario of a standard match of jade shaman vs control warrior :
turn 2 : jade claw...you do nothing.
turn 3 : shaman hero power...you answer with ghoul.
turn 4 : jade lightning...you play axe and kill that 2/2 jade golem.
turn 5 : azure drake...you slam+ second durability of the axe.
turn 6 : Aya....you slam the aya and he has now a 3/3 and a 4/4 golem on board.
turn 7 : jade spirit get a 5/5 golem+ hero power....you have to brawl.
from turn 8 and on every jade card will be a 6/6 or higher....you is sitting on a confortable 4 or 5 cards in hand , maybe flametongue totem to trade his totems...you can play it however you want , sleep with the fishes , be greedy with brawl or with gorehowl, but the thing is he still got at the very least :
1 jade claw + 1 jade spirit + 2 jade chieftain + 1 azure drake + 1 jade lightning + 2 hexes + 1 or 2 devolve + brann if he ever want to get more golems +2 or 3 AOE + 2 healing cards.
You tell me that you can get greedy with your removals and you stall but the truth is shaman can play the long game, play 1 jade card at a time and wait for you to deal with it , you can not stall a 6/6 or higher hitting your face and all your real threats like sylvanas, gromash, deathwing will get answered with a single card.
And believe me when i say i mean no disrespect for rank 11 players, but they just dont think too much when they play...things are very different when you play at rank 5-legend.
Because i dont know how you can be greedy against a jade druid or mid shaman when they only have to play 1 jade chieftain to get a 5/5 and a 6/6 for you to start taking damage.
Shaman can just play 1 jade card a turn and force your entire late game removals from brawls, deathwing, slam and execute and you can do nothing about it.
So unless i am completly in the wrong playing at rank 3, please do tell me how you manage not to loose to jade decks with control warrior.

Most warlock specialists ( myself included ) prefer playing a control warlock variant over zoolock.
The fact that team5 pushes for zoolock while control warlock gets less appreciation is the problem.

Wondering the same thing, we're passed 1 month after the release and still no new achievements.

Blizzard please hire this guy to make the next warcraft movie, he's got some great idea.

Very strange that they got 4 choices on this one instead of the standard 2 or 3.
Either ways, this seem like a good card balance wise unless you combo it with fandral in wild.

Great card in wild, it could be good in standard if they give us a few dragons to play around with.
Cant wait to try out dragon warrior 2.0

seems like they want to shove discard warlock down our throats just like they did with freeze shaman and beast druid.

Now druid will need aviana + innervate + kun to get their combos off in wild.
It is more fair this way i think.

Until you draw the second one then no more combo.

No, the 5/6 drakonid operative lets you discover a CARD, not a MINION.
Minions are barely as powerful as spells unless you play a deck that has a few very powerful minions like OTK mage or big druid.
Still, blizzard is determined to make everyone hate priest when they can high roll and get a victory thanks to a minion from your own deck.

Secret agent, coming through.
Guess blizzard really wants to push the elemental mage and they are giving them the same treatment as priest with the dragons.

Good luck playing that 5 mana doomhammer with only 2 mana :)

Excuse the question but do you play at rank 20 ??
Because i dont know how you can be greedy against a jade druid or mid shaman when they only have to play 1 jade chieftain to get a 5/5 and a 6/6 for you to start taking damage.
Shaman can just play 1 jade card a turn and force your entire late game removals from brawls, deathwing, slam and execute and you can do nothing about it.
So unless i am completly in the wrong playing at rank 3, please do tell me how you manage not to loose to jade decks with control warrior.
