    I do think there's a bit of a difference here, though. While I agree Jade Druid will remain very, very good, it's Priest that will reap a lot of the benefit. Prepare to be machine-gunned over and over.

    Does it though? I mean, in the Jade Druid v. Razakus match-up, the only change worth noting is the one to Innervate. That's an important change, don't get me wrong. But does it change the way that game plays out much?
    I feel like that matchup, even now, is more even than is typically assumed. Slowing Jade down may be just enough to tip the matchup.
    Outside of Jade, what's thought to be the current best counter to Priest is Pirate Warrior, which got heavily nerfed.
    Board-flood decks maybe got a little bit of help with the Plague nerf, but Priest often just stomps those, so any uptick in those decks is beneficial for Priest.
    Obviously we're all making educated guesses here, but I think part of the reason they didn't completely rip Jade Druid to shreds is that it's the main thing preventing Prieststone from happening.

    The core engine of ramping hard into UI is almost completely intact. The core Jade mechanic is completely intact. Druid still has a good answer to its class weakness (go wide, stomp face), and the best current decks to exploit that weakness are heavily impacted.

    Hopeful that I'm just wrong, but I honestly don't see how this solves much of anything.

    I'm playing it, but damn I'm upset by how insane aggro Druid is. La-la-la 9-game win streak just blowing people out by turn 6. Deck is seriously broken.

     Meh, enjoy your lucky streak. The deck has major weaknesses and even most Jade players started to tech against it. My winrate with the deck after some 50 matches is below 45% and it's not just because I'm a bad player.
    Well, I hope you're right, so I don't have to feel as bad about playing it. Streak ended at 13, but it was probably luck.

    Is it just me, or is the meta after the Quest Rogue nerf just total dogshit? Jade Druids coming out of the walls, leaving you little choice but to participate in an ever-expanding aggro clown fiesta.

    posted a message on How many games until rank5+?

    Don't have an exhaustive history going back--last month for me was 128 games at a 60% wr or thereabouts. Maybe could have gone faster, as I had two decks with > 70% winrate over that span, but I tend to screw around at rank floors. Also this was 6/1-6/22, so some of those wr's are a bit inflated by the competition not being as tough in week 3 from 10-5 as it is earlier in the month.

    My goal every month is rank 5. I seldom play as many as 250 games, and usually get there with a week to spare or so.

    Noggenfogger randomizes your emotes, and the "Sorry" emote is still in the pool--just not accessible ordinarily.
