You can counter it with a Hex or Spellbreaker, but if you don’t, then your opponent just added two more golems to the gene pool. It’s a card that can rarely be beat in value, making it the best possible card to play on turn six. Jade Druid is the ultimate survivor – if it can make it to late-game after summoning a few golems, you’re going to have a bad time.Īya Blackpaw personifies Jade’s problem perfectly. Any deck with fatigue as a win condition loses automatically, even with Skulking Geist around to combat the infinite stream of Jade Idols. The real problem with Jades lies with Druid, who have access to an unlimited supply of gem monsters. In Evolve Shaman, those pesky 1/1 and 2/2 golems start to matter, since they can turn into cards with some actual power. In Shaman, Jade Lightning and Jade Claws are used as early game clear, gaining some extra board pressure for their troubles.
Jades are a lot more complicated than Pirates, mainly because it requires some thought to play them.
If I’m playing against Pirate Warrior, I know I either have to hope that I pull enough Taunts out of my deck to keep me alive, or else that Arcanite Reaper is going to slap me for lethal damage. There isn’t a deck in this entire game that can curve out that fast and that consistently. N’zoth’s First Mate pulls Patches out of the deck, followed by a Bloodsail Raider and Bloodsail Cultist gives you at least 10 damage by turn three. Pirates are the quintessential aggro deck, they’re able to deal damage every single turn, choosing to spend all their deck space on cards with little to no defensive capabilities. When these archetypes stepped onto the scene and powerful cards like Reno Jackson disappeared from Standard, it left a void that happened to get filled by a patchy murloc and a Pandaren who’s best friends with a golem. Since the early days of Hearthstone, decks like Zoolock and Control Warrior have dominated the higher tiers of play because they can outlast nearly everyone. Hearthstone is a game that can be played two different ways: using aggressive decks to knock your opponent out before they have a chance to fight back, or outlast your opponent until they’re out of resources and are unable to fight back. Reddit user SeraphHS posted to the Hearthstone subreddit: “I don't think this number of new cards has been released without the two top decks being unseated ever before in Hearthstone.” Why haven’t any other archetypes jumped to tier-S and what can be done to stop it? It doesn’t matter how many awesome and unique cards were released in Journey To Un’Goro and Knights Of The Frozen Throne – nothing comes close to being able to usurp Patches sitting on his Jade throne. It’s been two expansions since Mean Streets Of Gadgetzan, yet Jades and Pirates are still the strongest meta decks currently in Hearthstone.
