Reveal Post
Quote from BlizzardAh, excellent, you have received our message. We are the Jade Lotus, and most denizens of Gadgetzan think us criminals. We are so much more than mere thieves and assassins.Come, I will show you.
Jade Lotus
Most of our “family” is made up of pandaren, hozen, mantid, jinyu—even virmen—who came from the distant shores of Pandaria. We have found disciples here, teaching our ways to eager new students. We are Rogues, Druids, and Shaman. We own the shadows, we command ancient spirits, and we bend the forces of nature to our will. We involve ourselves in the petty conflict that divides this city only for as long as it will take to remove those who stand against us.In taverns, alleyways, and tea houses throughout Gadgetzan, the foolish whisper fearfully about the mysterious Jade Lotus. They say we lurk in every shadow. They speak of strange magic never seen before. They do not understand us because our motives are not like theirs. Our one purpose in this city has been to acquire jade for our leader. Not for wealth. No, our secret lies in how the magic within these stones can be drawn forth to create Jade Golems, powerful living statues that do our bidding. Many of us have been granted trinkets that can summon these warriors in the blink of an eye. More impressive, each Jade Golem we summon arrives more powerful than the last. Soon we will unleash them upon Gadgetzan and our enemies will know what it is to face a truly unrelenting foe.
Until then, they frighten each other with stories of our leader, saying things such as, “Hey, watch yer back, or White Eyes’ll jump outta da shadows and getcha” with that ridiculous accent. Nonetheless, the rumors surrounding White Eyes are surprisingly close to the truth. He is a powerful warrior—we know him to be as immovable as a mountain and as pitiless as a storm—but the taletellers are missing one important detail. A secret most of our family does not even know. He is not the leader of the Jade Lotus. He’s merely a figurehead, and the real power behind the Jade Lotus comes in a smaller—though no less dangerous—form. . . .
Deadly Bloom
Aya Blackpaw is the last living heir of the wealthy Blackpaw family. Using the Gadgetzan Museum of Ancient Artifacts as her headquarters, and shrouding her activities behind her family’s reputation as generous philanthropists, she issues orders to us through her loyal bodyguard and servant, White Eyes. She is the true leader of the Jade Lotus.Aya is youthful, energetic, and seemingly impulsive. That is a mask; in truth she is calculating, ruthless, and as hard as the jade we steal for her. Crucially, young Aya has the unique ability to create Jade Golems, and she is the source of the trinkets that so many of us carry. How she came by this incredible power is a mystery, though I swear I have seen her communing with the spirit of a Mogu king I could not name. Such a being must be most ancient indeed.
However it was that she came by her gift, Aya has successfully created an army of Jade Golems. What task she intends for them, and for us, is a mystery . . . but the Jade Lotus will be ready.
Fools and Fanatics
We were your shadow as you walked down filthy alleys with the aptly named Grimy Goons. We were listening as you endured the Kabal’s ceaseless, senseless babble. Now we reveal ourselves to offer you a place with the only current of true power running through this city.We are the Jade Lotus, and we are watching. When you return to your home, we have left a token—a gift—to remind you.
Shaded Streets
The battle for control of the city begins in early December, so we must make ready.A cunning tactician knows the battlefield, so the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan must become as familiar to you as your reflection. A wise warrior prepares, so you may wish to pre-purchase a bundle of Mean Streets of Gadgetzan cards. With our might added to yours, we will be unstoppable.
Know yourself, and your enemies, by seeing all the new Mean Streets of Gadgetzan cards as they’re revealed.

Will jade golem cards be banned in arena?
Each of the classes seems to have a theme (potions, golems, and hand buffs) so I doubt it. With MSG cards having a higher occurence rate, chances are you'll get several golem cards, which means they'll be pretty solid.
That's a very valid question/concern. In contrast to C'Thun cards, you actually have to pay for the additional effect and I doubt you get enough Golem cards to be worth it. Being offered (only) a few each run will put Rogue, Druid and Shaman at a disadvantage.
They have stated they want to do a sort of smart picking for Arena though where for example if you pick a Murloc you have a higher chance to get more Murlocs
If they implement that, it wouldn't be so bad
Doubt it. The biggest problem with C'Thun cards is that you have to actually have C'Thun in your deck to get value from the card, which would almost never happen in arena, and when it did it'd be OP. With jade golems, you still get some value, just not as much as you'd get if you'd been able to build your deck around it.
I bet the right most card is a 4 mana 2/3 shaman weapon and reads "Whenever this loses a durability summon a Jade Golem"
That would be OP, so imo Shaman will not get this kind of card.
oh I have forgot to write Overload(1)
That would have to be like Overload 3 to be even close to balanced.
Faceless is a 4 mana 7/7 with Overload 2, a 2/3 weap that summons three Jade Golems is at WORST a 4 mana 6/6 that deals 6 damage, do you realize how broken that would be
And if you'd used even one Jade Golem before that it jumps it to a 4 mana 9/9. Not happening.
No murlocs? What's your win condition? :)
What about adding in some beasts too? And murlocs, to sinergy with things like "The Curator" ;)
Could throw the 4 mana 2/3 into rogues machine and just churn out progressively larger golem endlessly
...what?
Terrifying.....
ThisisawesomeIloveit. All hail the Jade Lotus!
Hopefully this isn't another disappointment like C'Thun was (kinda).
C'Thun is a disppointment? More like your knowledge of this game is a disappointment
I bet the leftmost card whose artwork has three shuriken -star shaped blade- is a new Rogue spell like "Deal 3 damage to all minions and summon a Jade Golem"
It was released hours ago...
Don't mind me I was just trying to prove how human beings can be stupid. FailFish me.
