Honestly not to good in the shaman mirror, though. The AOE are far more important. I'd say maybe use this as a 1 of/tech card for silly deathrattle shenanigans.
I vote meta defining simply because this means Druid NEVER loses fatigue. That's huge. Control warrior has some huge competition for the top control spot.
2 of these plus the new legend. Summon and X/X + X/X +1 + X/X +2
If you've only played those 3 cards, you'd get a 4/4, 5/5, and 6/6 for deathrattles. That's really potent and not even the full extent of how big the jade gets.
Eeh, I'm not seeing it. Sure, you can get the WOMBO COMBO of getting this + secret on turn 1 and valet on turn 2. But, if you draw this card at any other point, it's terrible. I would definitely play book over this for that reason alone.
Also, from your hand and not you deck. So, the secret in your hand is replacing your keep for frost bolt/spell related minion/actually flexable card.
There are obviously some "fun and interactive" things you can do with this card. I dream for the day where I can play a 18/18 king krush and go face.
That being said, I think the card is a little weak unless it can hit the proper targets. You're going to need a lot of card draw in whatever deck you put this in.
I had actually thought about angry chicken a lot recently. It's fun in Zoo Zoo (obviously not super reliable.)
The problem with chicken vs squire is chicken requires you put all your eggs in one really optimistic basket. Even if you were to use chicken in some kind of goon paladin (new expansion hype) I don't think it would preform better than squire or abusive unless you buff it up +5/+5 .
Paladin also lacks reliable self-damaging/charge effects. So, you can't benefit that much from the enrage.
I see this as an attempt to make sea giant and starving buzzard relevant in hunter again.
The problem is that 1 damage AOE is so easy in standard right now (maelstrom portal, ravaging ghoul) that flooding the board with 1 health minions isn't particularly attractive.
Heh, I was also coming to this thread to post the doomsayer thing.
A second, fairly reliable board wipe might be what control warrior needs. After all, the only way to get past a high number of 1/1s is AOE. Many aggro decks don't have that or would be substantially slowed down to deal with the combo.

Great anti-deathrattle card.

That's one scary N'zoth summon

Will definitely see constructed play.

Will definitely see play in whatever jade golem deck there is. Seems very competitive considering how crazy the card scales. I like.
The hard part is actually having enough jade golem spawns since the pool seems pretty limited.

5-0 so far. No gold loss feelsgoodman.
Got lucky in a lot of matches. But, playing to outs and winning was suuuper nice :)

Thunderbluff isn't quick enough burst for games you need to close out quickly. Bloodlust is more of a tech choice in that way.

It's a really fun card. It's about time hunter got its own "mystic."
Given the new cat trap and how good freezing trap is, I think this could be very powerful. You just need to support enough draw in your deck.
