I've had a lot of success with her climbing from ranks 15-10 with only one loss in Jade Rogue. She seems to shine the most vs Mage, allowing you to have a decent chance of survival against Alex if you are careful with your Mistresses of Mixtures and save them for Shadow Reflecting and Shadowcasting in the late game. Not only have I seen it get out of control with Jades but also with cards like Journey Below.

Surprisingly, Xaril is insane with the Shadow Reflections due to the fact that you can either slam down 2 if you want or duplicate the toxin if it's one you really need (like card draw). Even with the N'zoth package included I haven't had too much of a problem with aggro. It seems really solid.

I think it's got potential, but it will heavily depend on how much the Death Knight hero powers synergize with their respective class' cards. Cool thought though.

Well, perhaps rogue will never get a decent board clear again, but I honestly don't see lifesteal being a problem. Most miracle decks don't have the room for healing as it stands, but I could see control decks or something like Jade Rogue being able to make use of it. It would definitely make its other archtypes more viable.

I've tinkered with the deck a lot since the expansion began and I'd say it isn't completely necessary, though it makes fighting control decks a cakewalk. The deck struggles a bit against quest rogue, murloc paladin, and even egg druid to some extent, so you could either go for tech cards like the crabs, which become less of a deadweight thanks to dinomancy automatically making every beast a threat, or you could throw in another unleash or houndmaster to counter the aggro better. It's really about figuring out what works best against the meta, which can vary a lot. Let me know how it goes!

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Tol'vir Stoneshaper for sure. "When earth moves, empires fall."

Such a sick voice.

I honestly think that racing Rogues is the way to win, as historically that has been the most effective in the Hunter v Rogue matchup, but the amount of removal they have available definitely makes that difficult.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree about the opponents' mulligans, as I've seen Warriors do weird things like mulligan away their quest, which REALLY makes it a free win. I've considered Fiery Bat, but I haven't managed to find room for it and I'm not the biggest fan of how easy it is to ping off, though it is definitely a powerful card. I used to run two Ravasaur Runts, but the card just wasn't performing as well as I would have liked and was rarely very impactful, though it would occasionally be amazing for securing the early game.

So do you not run Kindly Grandmother? I've found that to be one of the most important cards in the deck simce it is amazing at resisting board clears and almost always gives you a buff target. I have considered running a single copy of Dinomancy, but I've really liked having the ability to draw it very consistently, especially versus control decks (Tracking will sometimes help with the issue of having a second copy). It definitely isn't optimal to draw the second copy, but it can sometimes provide burst if nothing else, which is ok. I haven't actually tried running a single copy, though, so perhaps I'll give that a try. As for Animal Companion, I'm the sort of player that likes consistency and knowing exactly how my game plan is going to go, so I cut it in favor of more reliable cards, plus only Leok really has any synergy with the deck at all thanks to the tokens. It is definitely a card worth considering though. I cut one Infested Wolf for a while, but having a card with reliable board presence for buffing alonside being a decent card for N'Zoth to resurrect and for Terrorscale Stalker to trigger, plus ot's one of the few solid 4 drops hunter has bar Houndmaster.

I've seriously considered Cult Master and can definitely see some of the pros to running it. The pros I've seen from Buzzard is that you can trigger the draw off of summoning tokens rather than suiciding them and you can potentially draw into Alleycat for an extra draw 2 (thus argument also promotes incentive for me to run Fiery Bat). Buzzard is also a beast, which obviously has a few synergies with the deck, but it is definitely kind of a weak card on its own moreso than Cult Master. There are definitely a lot of combinations worth experimenting with, but the list I'm using has performed pretty well for the most part. We just have to find a way to get through those darn Mages and Rogues!

How often is Umbra able to work? I feel like she'd be too slow, though I haven't tried her in my variant yet.

On the other hand taunt warrior is beatable by other non-pirate archetype. Sometimes you can outvalue them before rag hero power becomes a thing but it still feels like a race instead of strategy game.

Nice deck. I've tried a list that's essentially this hybridized with your divine butler deck (originally meant to complete the quest but was discarded for consistency). I've had issues versus shaman, however. How does this deck fare against shaman? Here's my similar list.

This is surprisingly good in Un'Goro's meta.

I've been able to make it to rank 10 with a zoo-like midrange version that swarms with silver hand recruits + Moroes and divine shield effects and utilizes buff cards alongside the likes of The Voraxx and the Primalfin Champion to extend value (I used to run the quest but removed it to make it more consistent). It does pretty well against everything but Elemental Shaman and Taunt Warrior thus far, but I'm still working out the kinks. So based on my experiences, the replies in this thread, and what I've seen on ladder, Paladin is in a pretty decent spot this expansion.

Is this for wild? Wobbling Runts will be leaving standard if not. Also, Moroes has a lot of potential in this deck.

Nice deck! I've been running something similar, though I cut drakes for shadowcasters, cut the fans (they really don't do much) and eviscerate for tomb pillager, a sprint, and a couple arguses (shadowcaster + argus can save your life vs pirate warrior, as they usually concede after the third argus lands). It's great to hear other people are having success with jade rogue!
