First for RIP Jade, who will protect us against the cucktrol scum now?
John Gutierrez
Bolvar, of course.
Joshua Rodriguez
...
Gavin Hernandez
Why are people afraid of cucktrol? The past year or 2 the top decks have always been populated by aggro.
Carson Sanders
Blizzard is finally willing to print strong discard effects. Besides how obviously broken this is, opinions on whether this is good for the game going forward? I think it's fantastic.
Samuel Peterson
The control meta is coming and there's nothing you can do about it
Angel Richardson
Warlord.
Adrian Butler
No weapons yet, I'd take the strike.
Easton Mitchell
They won't be able to grind to legend on the first of the month with brainless decks anymore
Gabriel Price
This is broken vs some decks and shit vs other decks. Like crawler. Or Harrison. Or literally any tech card.
Carson Morgan
There needs to be a 4 mana legendary that destroys every mage spell in your and your opponent's deck and hand.
I think it would actually finally make mage balanced compared to other classes.
Gabriel Rogers
Set after set we see all it takes is for blizzard to stupidly print 1 OP aggro card and it completely negates 100 control cards.
Asher Campbell
How is this any good? Just pretend that cards in the bottom of the deck.
Joshua Smith
I'm on the side of those who wish they'd just utilise the digital format's advantage in that you can edit cards at any time to balance instead of introducing counter cards that just kill the archetype on their own
Lincoln Bailey
Leave the cucktrols to me.
Aaron Barnes
I'm sad that it's also good against rogue. Where the fuck are the good rogue cards btw?
Leo Phillips
>Make Ultimate Infestation and Skulking Geist at Mythic so people buy packs, but so when you inevitably tweak them ''Listening to community feedback" people don't get Legendary-level dust
Just as planned Blizzard
Gabriel Thomas
there hasn't been a control meta since n'zoth pally in like the first two weeks of wotog. it was aggro shaman/face hunter and now aggro warrior
if you want to beat control just use one of the billion infinite value cards they've added, put elise in your deck, jaraxxus, whatever
Owen Roberts
What are the 1 mana rogue cards? Swash Patches Coldblood (maybe) What else?
Brandon Watson
...
Robert Bailey
This is actually really good against basically any deck running 1 drops, mostly because it destroys the cards from their hand as well. If the priest is holding 2 potions in his hand, for example, then you essentially made the priest waste 2 draws with it.
Aaron Rodriguez
What decks do you expect to rise up in the next meta?
Adrian Flores
>playing against quest mage >glyph into glyph into glyph into glyph If they don't fix this shit in next expansion, I'm dropping this game.
Elijah Sullivan
they actually can't edit it at any time because it takes like weeks of bullshit to update anything in the app store
mobile was a mistake
Luke Ross
Destroy all 2 cost spells in both hands and decks.
Tyler Bell
It only affects spells, so Swash is okay.
The cards that immediately come to mind are cold blood, hallucination, and petals
Angel Lopez
How hard would it be to change Jade Idol to say >Choose one: Summon a Jade Golem, or shuffle three 1-cost Jade Golems into your deck Was it really necessary to kill combo priest and evolve druid, two archetypes they've been pushing hard lately, to nerf one card when you can just change the fucking card itself?
Anthony Fisher
It only hits spells.
In miracle, it hits hallucination and petals. Cold blood isn't really run. Journey Below in jade decks, I guess.
Brayden Williams
And shit vs any deck that don't require one drops. Great you stopped that mage from drawing a mana wyrm turn 6 onwards.
Jaxson Williams
Minions doesn't count.
Halucination, cold blood, journey below, petals, conceal (in wild) etc.
My point is rogue is already not that powerful. It certainly doesn't need certain cards disappearing from hand, losing both card advantage and auctioneer cycle potential.
Julian Powell
Meme Lord is strong.
Lincoln Rodriguez
Because cucktrol is fucking awful to play against
Chase James
>Great you stopped that mage from drawing a mana wyrm turn 6 onwards. No you didn't. It only destroys spells. Why can't people read?
John Morris
It hits petals if you have petals in your hand. I think you can still generate petals. As for hallucination, it simply means you play it before turn 6 if this card get popular or you lose 2 cards from you deck. Tough luck but not deck breaking.
Joshua Mitchell
Shit I didn't even think of that. It really should just be 1-cost spells in the deck, because that's broken as fuck
Tyler Jackson
>People complaining that this 1 single card complete fucks multiple decks
isn't this exactly the problem with jade idol though? like it's 1 card that basically completely and utterly fucks any kind of late game value deck that doesn't do some fun and interactive 40 health combo
Michael Gonzalez
...
Caleb Evans
>Great you stopped that mage from drawing a mana wyrm turn 6 onwards. >Half of hsg can't even read the card text. >These are the actual people who judge new cards in this thread.
Carter Brown
>cucktrol is fucking awful to play against >aggro just facerolls you turn 4 >midrange is curvestone at its finest >combo is do nothing until you're dead
this game sucks
Nicholas Turner
so why not just nerf that one card instead of releasing another problem card that will inevitably need to be changed a few months down the road?
Levi Cook
That makes it even more niche.
I think the argument now is Blizzard method of balancing via the introduction of cards that break decks instead of proper card balance. They are trying to ape MTG mechanics while failing to realize that MTG has a side board.
Zachary Gray
All are bad, but Fel Orc is the least worse one.
Tyler Adams
Who /aggrovirgin/ and who /controlchad/ here?
Daniel Kelly
day of the rope is here jade cucks
Jeremiah Young
>it simply means you play it before turn 6 if this card get popular
Yea but it is usually used as a combo enabler. I mean losing cards from hand means losing card advantage and combo enablers. I mean we haven't even seen a good rogue card yet. I'm worried.
Brody White
Hope you took the Roc 3 drop
Thomas Taylor
I can't remember the last time I played a Jade druid who didn't play Idol ASAP for quicker ramp anyway As soon as the 1/1 is out of the way, you're pumping out pure value
Bentley Garcia
The same way eater of secrets is only good against mages, but it sees play anyway. This one hits more than just one class, and is just as strong against some of them as eater of secrets is against freeze/burn.
If you can turn a matchup that you have a 20% win rate against into an 80% win rate with only one card, and those decks have a presence on ladder, then you're upping your overall win rate by a lot.
Hudson Hernandez
Shhh. Stop making valid observations.
Evan Lewis
Except Rogue hasn't been shit ever. Even in that expansion where everyone said Rogue would be shit, Rogue didn't turn into shit.
Josiah Edwards
there are two bog creepers at the bottom. took the fledgling over a second sunwalker
Thomas Kelly
bomb squad
Ryder Cooper
>Implying that cucktrol is played by someone other than greasy unemployed fedoralords
Grayson Martinez
A hard pick between 4 and 5. Think go with the bomb squad, reactive shit is good. But I am not 100% sure.
Colton Carter
EZ last pick
Joseph Johnson
bombs ready
John Hernandez
>no weapons except first mate this is gonna be miserable
Gavin Turner
Volcanosaur is pretty good with can not be targeted adapt.
William Hughes
I'm not really interested in seeing rogue be good tbqh fampai
Adam Bennett
Not such a clear pick for me, you have a bunch of 7's already and stonehill might pull more bogs that you'd like to have, while crazed alch could be game winning to, but you're not quite agro enough for it. It's probably alch desu.
Kayden Foster
>This one guy who doesn't know Freeze Mage is tier 1
Jordan Cooper
None even came up which is annoying as fuck, will report back when I go 1-3
Jackson Sanders
>>/r/eddit you need to kill yourself faggot plebbit fags make me so mad
Colton Long
jesus christ go back to r/hearthstone faggot
Caleb Carter
neck yourself
Ethan Baker
nah it's decent quality and curve wise, should be able to get 2-3 wins at least.
Though you have 4 7's now, imo that last pick was a mistake. even crusher was probably better desu
Kayden Gray
wait since when is volcanosaur a reddit thing
Ian Carter
Freeze Mage is garbage.
Brayden Edwards
Skulking Geist makes me think seriously about quitting Hearthstone as it shows once more the incapability of Blizzards balancing team.
No matter if you hate Jade Druid or not, this new card is just showing how Blizzard doesn't want to balance. Blizzard just designed a card that will prevent Jade Druid and Miracle Priest from ever again coming close to tier 3 in wild or standard. I think a balancing philosophy like that is extremely dumb and bad for the game. Printing this card is a really poor decision by Blizzard and avoiding a bit of thinking. Instead of just nerfing Jade Idol they just deleted it and some other archetypes with it.
William Sullivan
t. shieldbearer
freeze mage is bad below rank 5 and dominant above rank 5 because people who are shit at hearthstone don't know how to win with it
Alexander Myers
>opponent always lucky >me never lucky
Hudson Morales
>push burgle rogue with legendary >the anti jade card fucks burgle rogue
wew, for a second I thought I would have fun
Evan Bennett
4-0 so far I don't ever play arena, is this deck any good or am I just getting lucky?
Xavier Wood
I think this card might make benedictus a good card for silence and miracle Priests. If they destroy your win condition you just steal theirs
Colton Russell
just wait until you queue into people who drafted tirion in their deck
Easton Powell
the only thing you're losing is hallucinate
Camden Williams
You can bet your ass it will be getting nerfed in 2 weeks >Evolve is dead because of 1 card Keep telling that yourself The odds are Shaman will play 1 Doppel + Evolve is way higher than the odds of Geist being played earlier. DK Shaman also still exists
Kayden Cooper
Rare to see this much autism 3 posts in a row
Angel Turner
t. /r/eddit
Eli Allen
It's quite a good deck.
I predict you'll get between 6 and 8 wins over all.
Colton Bailey
>Jade Idol changed from "shuffle 3 jade idols into your deck" to "shuffle 3 summon jade into your deck" >Summon jade is a 1 mana spell that summons a jade golem There, fixed. Now Jade druid doesn't have infinite cards but can still make big ass golems and you don't need to print that dumb card.
Josiah Roberts
OLÉ
Grayson Campbell
>drafted kazakus early in the draft >forgot all about it >drafted 3 babbling books and 3 bog creepers >kazakus goes off in the first game regardless >would've gone off in the second game but it was in the bottom 5 of my deck
Brandon White

Charles Jenkins
If they nerfed Jade Idol they would have to give people full dust refund.
However, if they reveal crazy, meta-defining disruption tech card with epic rarity people will pre-order and not get any free dust.
Guess why Blizzard chose the option that makes them more money.
Angel Jackson
>warrior coins into 2 upgrades on turn 1 >play ooze next turn Value plays.
Charles Torres
This is some reddit "1 mana your opponent can't play jade idols for the rest of the game" fantasy tier shit
Nathan Martinez
I agree with the sentiments. It's such a poorly designed card but that's all we can expect from Team 5.
Christian Thomas
oh no, full dust refund on a common card, a whopping 80 dust! That's almost a free rare card per person!
Kayden Cox
Not that it's alot more dust, but I think it's a rare
Eli Hill
Well son you sure memed me hard there Good job
Nolan Roberts
That's not the point. The point is revealing a card that will clearly have a huge impact on the meta so that people pre-order so they can unpack it day 1 and start counter-playing jade druids.
It's literally a tactic used to sell packs. Show off some powerful or meta-defining cards with high rarity so people think "wow! I have to buy packs now!"
Daniel Jackson
So what decks does this card kill?
Jade Druid Combo priest
Also destroys bad draws for you and the opponent or nulls their previous draws by deleting 1 mana cards such as potion of madness.
James Adams
shit you're right I was thinking of jade blossom
still fuck blizzard tho
I wasn't disagreeing with you, that's definitely what they're trying to do. I'm just continually shocked at how shitty of a company they are to keep pulling shit like this while making terribly designed cards in the process
Michael Jackson
Is this the most boring brawl?
Brody Sullivan
Geist will probably be nerfed in a few weeks after people raging over it
