Finally! The answer to spare parts that I've been waiting to see for years!
What, is no one else plagued by those broken +1 attack buffs?
My new glorious sun is angry for getting an indirect nerf.
I srsly don't see why aggro druid should be afraid of Skulking Geist. Mark of the Lotus [/card] might not be available after turn 6 because of [card]Skulking Geist but at that time you'll normally allready used one copy and the second don't matter because you have other buff cards (e.g. Power of the Wild) and though those cards are more expensive to play than Mark of the Lotus it doesn't matter after turn 6 because druids then normally will have enough mana to play both minions and to buff them.
And finally: Jade druid isn't a tier 1 deck.
No jade druid is not a tier 1 decks in In championships, its a SS tier.
but was very powerful against control decks
Okay, then I follow you. The reason I was confused is because I didn't consider Jade Druid to be a tier 1 deck and because I couldn't see other druid decks being affected (you wrote "top tier decks" would be affected = plural).
But OK, you only meant jade druid and I agree with you - Druid players will maybe have to re-think jade druid if Skulking Geist will be played regularly.
Looking forward to the freeze mage meta lmao
Since Jade-druid is on meta and this is pretty crippling to them, I have no qualms calling this card "meta-defining".
And that's how bad design (Jade Drood and its one cost spell) leads to overkill design.
There was a time where Blizzard statement was that removing cards from opponent deck could lead to a feeling of injustice. This time is over.
so... Evolve is dead...
It lives in Thrall, Deathseer's hero power now.
Even though the design seems horrible … RIP Jade Drood and Silence Priest.
We now have a choice if we want to make a bad deck to counter Jade Druid and Purify Priest, or make a good deck. Ya'll crackheads, this card is fine.
Only hands and decks? Why not destroy all craftable 1-cost spells in both collections?
I will be trying this bad boy in my N'Zoth Shaman deck that runs zero 1-mana spells. It still might be tier 3, but at least it won't be auto lose against Jade Druid. *happy dance*
This card is so good! Also thats the highest Meta-Defining rating I've seen in my life!
Innervate + Innervate + The Coin + Skulking Geist to destroy their Quest spell. Now only if they didn't play their quest for some reason.
The effect of this card is strong, you can get rid off Paladin secrets, Rouge Razorpetals and Toxins, Druid Jade Idols, Warrior Whirlwinds, etc but then you question if you can manage that before they play their 1 cost spells already.
This card going to be a tech card to target specific decks. It won't be so hot on everyday ladder's meta.
Edit: it might be even used as a tool to thin out your own deck
