The real problem is not that jade counters control, it's that the jade mechanic in itself is uncounterable, its pure stats, I think they should be 1/1 jades with buffs, same mechanic but silencable, let ppl tech against it. If u play a slower deck without face dmg, and ur opponent has a 3/3 jade on turn 3 it's gg.Even a chicken will outvalue u from there, 1 mana 11/11 u deal with it, then here's a special 1 mana 12/12 just for u, thx.

How do you get a turn 3 3/3 jade in Druid and have left over jade idols to make 1 mana 11/11 and 12/12. 

There will be reams of different schools of thought on this one - a lot of it subjective, but with some good general points to consider.
There is no hard and fast rule that will guarantee you the best opening hand, because you are still subject to RNG (and the game hacks too - I've lost count of the number of times I have ditched 2 or 3 cards only to be given the exact same ones back again).

That said, here are some "food for thought"s for when you mulligan:

- Think about your deck strategy. Is it a fast early game with small minions? You will want some good early drops. Mid/late game deck? You may want a low cost taunt, or some removal

- Think about what class yuor opponent is playing and what the current meta is. See a Warrior or Rogue? It's "probably" going to be a fast aggro / face deck, so you want to throw up taunts and AoEs fast. Druid or Shaman? Probably some sort of Cancer Jade deck. Just concede and move on. XD No, I jest - you may want to look for good fast opening drops in this instance. Yuo need to steamroller them before they can start up the Jade-rolling. See a priest? It's likely to be a dragon priest, so you want some good early game removal.

- Do you need any comnbinations of cards to make your early cards work well. Dragon decks in particular really need this. Sometimes I've kept an Ysera in my opening hand just to play my Wyrmrest Agent or similar cards.

Ultimately, it seems to boil down to understanding two key things. What your deck needs for the "perfect start". And what the opponent is likely to play early game (and can you deal with it when it comes out?).
If you can learn this stuff, then you will find the mulliganning skill becomes second nature, because you will know early on how the game will progress.

As I said, it won't always save you from getting those lame-ass hands full of 6 and 7-cost cards, etc - but it will certainly give you a better edge. :-)

do you recall what week this happened on? it might have been one of the weeks where you dont get a pack, either the first or the second week

Meh - the same issue has been raised multiple times over the Auctioneer: back during the Cancer Miracle Rogue days and again now with the Gadget Jade Druid pile of faeces deck.

Blizzard will do what Blizzard always do: 

So. 

I'm sitting on 2 health. I have maybe 8-10 cards left in deck. I know there's both a Reno and Ice Block in there. 
He has a board full of Cancer Jade Golems and one space left with one card in his hand. 
I am holding my last card DOOM!. All seems pretty good to me.

He plays Aya Blackpaw. 

THAT'S IT! I'M OUT OF THIS SHITTY META UNTIL THEY FIX THE BROKENNESS THAT IS CANCER JADE!!

Screw you Blizzard for making such a broken and unplayable mechanic that effectively nullifies any long-term deck from being viable!

I can see why people are now playing Pirate decks so much - because the Cancer Jade decks are running over everything else! So I guess I'll bite the bullet and join them now. I never wanted to have to play Pirate decks, but fast early starts seem to be the ONLY way to come close to beating fucktards with their unimaginative and skill-less Jade decks.

So, totally happy to get an Un'goro pack from the Tavern Brawl this week! Good to start the collection early.

But I'm a little worried. The last time I tried to save packs from the brawl, the first pack got deleted the following week wen I got a pack from the next brawl.
Now it may have been (and was likely to be) just a glitch, but since then I have always opened my Brawl packs straight away.

Would be worth keeping an eye on this to make sure it doesn't happen though (would be frustrating otherwise).

Obviously I don't have "pics" of the event, since it's difficult to take a pic of something that has disappeared! :-P

Ooh! It's like my old thread all over again! Woot! \o/

Yeah, iOS doesn't allow multiple apps to run at the same time, so iPhone and iPad users are SOL when it comes to in game deck tracking.

And yes, it's a huge disadvantage to players who don't have this available when the opponent does. Anyone who tries to claim differently is being disingeuous at best, trolling at worst. 
Not to mention the numpties who think using a pen and paper when you're holding a mobile phone on the train is even possible, let alone somehow comparable to the huge advantage that deck tracking gives.

I still think : if you love the game - spend the money.

150 € per year is nothing (pre order each of the 3 upcoming expansions)

if you can't do so - you need to get a job and stop complaining

hate those f2p threads...

£10 for basically a classic pack? Blizzard's lost the plot...

What is this crap? 
Tavern Brawl is supposed to be just a bit of fun for a free pack.
Seriously, wtf is this? Another money-grabbing exercise to cater to the few rather than the many.
