Also... why not play both?
If they kept all shaman cards in secret untill revealing whole faction, can we gues that all shaman's cards include Jade Golem mechanic?
Man, I was looking forward to the uber-control priest meta, but now you're telling me the longer a game goes on, the bigger the minions I have to deal with? I only have so many Shadow Word: Deaths! What am I supposed to do, try to win before the opponent runs out of cards in their deck? What a silly concept.
Jade golems are only for 3 classes, druid kills priest already if it's a ramp or malygos deck. Miracle rogue, same. But this mechanic will empower midrange shaman greatly against control decks (after Thunder Bluff Valiant rotates, they don't need it now).
If things slow down enough, I hear Mind Control is a pretty good card.
Jade Grandmother
Or maybe Kindly Swarmer
Guarantees you get this 1 damage to land somewhere useful.
Typically, this means that this isn't just a 2 mana Jade Golem when played on turn 2 against, say...Reno mage ? Control decks will almost always HP on turn 2.
Priests can't take it. It can't be silenced. It can't be attack on their turn so they can't instantly kill the golem that spawns. It's also not so far fetched that one day their may be a Rogue card that gives Stealth minions +1/+1 or Charge or something along that lines. (Or say every minion with Stealth in your hand gets +1/+1 if you go on this set's theme)
So... lots of reasons. I'm sure plenty more I can't ramble off in a few seconds.
N'Zoth Jade Golem Raptor Rouge would be great
:D
Stealth, bro. Stealth.
15/15 is coming. (Maybe sap it instead lol???)
Ok, can we get kage bunshin no jutsu for stealth minions later? :p
Unearthed Raptor omg
spring of 2017
Thanks for the correction :)
I've deleted my reply above, to not confuse other people with false information
Cheers ;)
When I first saw Aya Blackpaw I thought to myself, could some Jade decks potentially use N'Zoth, the Corruptor as well? Now with seeing more deathrattles with Jade attached to them, it might very well be a thing?
Is it good or is it bad? It all depends on the strength of Jade Golem mechanic in rogue.
This is just a good, playable Rogue card that will see play in Golem decks and help get Rogue back in the meta. I want to be able to play Rogue without the assumption that almost every class and deck type has a higher chance of winning.
