Dat hard Renounce Darkness nerf.
Seriously though, I have never loved Blizzard more than I do right now. A card that fucks Jade and Secret Pally? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP FOR TWO.
I'll laugh last cause u came to die!
Welcome to the meta, Control
So basically:
Play any control deck vs Jade Idol = you're fucked
Play any control deck with Skulking Geist vs Jade Idol = Jade Idol guy is fucked
Absolutely flawless way to nerf a card Blizzard, 10/10 would nerf again.
I don't think that's true. Jade Druids can ramp up and play their big minions and build up their jades pretty quickly. Only difference is whether to use the jade idol to shuffle or play it now before it gets destroyed. Going infinite just pushed control decks out, so i think this is a great solution. Good against other decks like silent priests with their annoying one turn OTK by stealing your minion :p
Inb4 a new Druid card with a battlecry: "Add a Jade Idol to your hand", Kappa.
I am not sure whether Aggro Druid spells or Upgrade will disappear because of that card. They can do a lot before turn 6. I mean, you still have to draw and play Geist. It doesn't read, kill everything that is buffed by 1 mana spells.
But yeah, I like the idea that Pirate Warriors need to think (aggro need to think, goofy sound) if they want to buff a Reaper weapon, because things like buffed Reaper and Jades up from 6/6 and beyond are just lackluster and far unhealthier for the meta than Geist.
I think I will try to run Far Sight and Bright-Eyed Scout just to get Geist in play earlier :P
Don't forget that pint-sized summoner super-secret tech.
It says spells not minions.
Poor Explore Un'Goro. I believed in you :(
It makes your whole deck filled with only 1 cost spells...
When someone didn't think before typing...
When you look at most of ktf cards blizzard wants to push slow control decks, but any slow control deck looses against jade druid. Right now most of tier 1 decks are aggro that's why you don't see jade that much. But if you tried to play any control deck you know that jade is cancer.
Druid jade was terrible for the game, it was making a lot of controls decks completely unplayable for current and upcoming metas, something had to be done about that.
It's actually pretty great against Secret Pally #WildLyfe
I remember when a lot of people were suggesting to nerf Jade Idol like "whenever you shuffle Jade Idol in your deck it costs 1 more mana with max of 10". I guess nobody wants that nerf now lol. It's good Blizzard did something about Jade Idol but they could simply just nerf it because this card questions some other archetypes like Malygos Rogue that is not so bad right now. Also say goodbye to Miracle Priest or how was it even called (Silence Priest maybe) with Inner Fire, Potion of Madness Combo. (Rip Djinni of Zephyrs Combo Wild deck if this sees any play in wild). This cards also limits a lot of future decks and archetypes imo so I think it's not really healthy card for meta.
I love control warrior, and I love this card. I might not even run it because it's existence might be enough to keep the number of jade druids down, but I love that I will be able to tech it if jade druid will still be one of the most common decks.
