    As long as Jade still loses to aggro, I think it's fine. This argument is based off of the assumption that aggro decks are bad for the game, and control decks are good. Just because a deck requires less decision making doesn't mean it's bad for the game. Not everyone has the time to learn how to correctly pilot Reno Mage. As long as Jade loses to something, I think it's fine.

    Jades don't offer up too much value. When left alone, like anything, they generate value. Jade Spirit generating 3/4 worth of stats isn't too much. Jade is a mechanic that needs time to generate value. Aggro decks don't give them time, control decks do.

     I don't necessarily mean that aggro decks are bad for the game. I do think that some aggro is good but aggro has been a huge problem for a long time now because there aren't enough tools to counter them. All these pirate *insert class here* have really hurt the meta. As a result of the relationship between jades and aggros, there are only a few decks in the meta. A lot of pros say that the meta is really stale right now because your either playing aggro, jade, or reno. You can't play control warrior or a lot of different other control options anymore because they lose to both the aggression, and jade. Aggro because not enough tools, jade because of them simply out valuing the opponent. 
    I'm saying that the jade mechanic combined with aggro is really constricting the types of decks you can play to do well right now.
     I see. I do agree that this meta is very rock, paper, scissors, but I don't think the jade mechanic is inherently unfair.

    I like this deck, it seems very tech-ed against aggro. However, I've found that Prince Malchezar isn't very good.

    This is a simple question: Does Hearthstone need decorative ferns.... I strongly think the answer to this is Yes. Yes this game absolutely needs Ferns, perhaps poking out of the corner in the menu screen and maybe even a few in all of the currently fern-less boards. Perhaps even some form of Fern or Fern-Like minion or spell. With the new Un'Goro expansion coming out I deeply hope there will be a mass Fern implanting in the Hearthstone community but for now, look in and ask yourself? Do "I" want more Ferns in Hearthstone.... think of the possibilities... ferns, fern like plants, ferns that grow fruit, a fern-themed menu to replace that boring wooden box we all stare at for hours, ferns poking out of that weird blue banner thing it sits on, Ferns maybe even IN the card-box... thing... The possibilities are endless (Not relay they end in ferns). Its a new year people! The Year of the Mammoth! (Fern)

     

     

     Amazing idea! I made a prototype:
     
     Blizzard just called, they want you at their office with that prototype right now.. 
    Great! Thanks fern the alert!

    I think the skills needed for arena have shifted slightly, but play a few more times. It's probably just a streak of bad RNG.

    Emperor Thaurissan enabled so many fun OTK decks, and just provided sweet value for control decks.

    100% winrate against Renolock and Reno Mage. 

    A lot of off the beaten path decks can put up good records versus really tech-ed control decks, because they only stock answers for the meta decks.

    If you're going to try to climb with this deck, beware that it'll take a long time.

    I think it's nice, it's usually just two mana for two 1/1s.

    Deck looks cool, but do you have any recorded winrate statistics? Also, I really like your inclusion of Barnes because Alleycat is the only really dead card you can get.

    posted a message on Tavern Brawl has the best matchmaking.

    I can. Pretty sure Tavern Brawl matches you with people with similar W-L ratios. The first couple games might be rough, but you should fight easier people at some point. This is because anyone with a high enough level hero can play in brawl, and they don't want F2P rank 20s facing off Legendary players. 

    DisguisedToast is playing brawl right now on stream and he's replaying a lot of the people because they have similar W-L ratios, and have just won a lot. Toast is currently at 16 wins.
