I wonder if there's a way for a Rogue to play a Jade Golem on Turn 1. Otherwise that's basically a Possessed Villager with Stealth, which is not particularly impactful on its own. It also works well with Unearthed Raptor of course, which could easily be the kind of card you play in a Rogue Jade Golem deck as it also combos well with Aya Blackpaw.
Coin + Jade Wanderer + Backstab lol
Coin + Jade Shuriken
I like your avatar
stealth isn't irrelevant on it, you can't hero power it down, that's a big deal vs possessed villager and sets up raptor in dream opening hand. and it gets better later in the game while possessed villager doesn't. This could easily become a 2 mana twilight summoner with stealth in mid game.
I think it's ok. It won't help much against shaman though....

I think this is shaping up to be the best expansion in the game.
hey this can be good with raptor... may be 2 mana is a bit too much, but the stealth and deathrattle compensates.
maybe, okay?
They're overcosting everything by a lot. If Jade Golems are going to be thing, it's just this set and right now otherwise it's just a waste. It could be a 2/1 easily without being outrageous. It's too safe and fair and that's usually not good enough for constructed.
Where did all this caution go when they were designing shaman cards? They're not consistent.

I don't think they're going to design to a power level they're uncomfortable with when there are tons of cards rotating out in four months.
There were lots of worries about Old Gods cards being viable because they didn't look as impressive as minibots, but I don't think that was a real issue in the end.
Like yes, Tunnel Trogg into Totem Golem is hard to beat, but that's not a thing later on. We saw what happened to Paladin when they lost all their early game power cards.

These Jade Golem cards maybe look a bit overcosted when they spawn as 1/1's, but they're fair at 2/2, and start becoming OP at 3/3.
Depending on how many Jade Golem cards that each class gets, churning out 3/3's and higher might be a lot easier than you might think.

2/1 is too much in my opinion. I really think they need to be conservative with the costs given how insane the deck is after it snowballs. The deck would be not fun at all to play against if it could consistently snowball. By your 5th jade golem you start becoming unbeatable, so you really should have the first few be extremely weak.
Kinda similar to inspire. The cards are too understated to be good, but would be not good for the game if they were much better.
Card that tries to give you versatility whether you're facing control or aggro. Seems pretty good in a dedicated golem deck.

Yeah I guess they never do lose in fatigue. RIP removal warrior.

Yeah that card is stupid good in fatigue matchups.
Yeah, you don't even need to go full-blown Jade Golem. Just run that card alongside the usual Tokens and Arcane Giants. Late game value for dayzzzz.
this card is absolutely disgusting...
fandral value is through the roof here.
and it can also be a real problem for the control matchups

Devolve seems pretty meh.
Cool/cute effect but straight board clears seem better to me.

The druid card: INFINITE VALUE
Edit: Just saw the official twitter account:
Man, we're getting some crazy cards huh

Dunno man, it's an anti Jade Golem / N'Zoth card

Tirion is pretty strong and fits in almost any Paladin deck.

If you can start buffing your golems from turn one, then maybe it's not as hopeless against aggro as I thought.
And I don't know how traditional control could ever win against Jade Golems.

2 mana mass dispel without card draw. Ok tech card, good grimy goon counter, but not that great otherwise? Unless I'm wrong.
Still gotta be Tirion, I think.
I am always glad that there are usually a couple decks that are popular in the meta that check fatigue druid heavily, because that archetype is the WORST. Stupidly lopsided anti-fun bullshit just like Freeze Mage, except it doesn't even give you benefit of ending the game in a timely manner.

Flavor text on devolve should be:
"We're all murlocs now"
"We're all murlocs now"
"Get off my beach"

May contain jokes =>
Easily. Only class card worth mentioning alongside Dr. Boom.

Devolve against zoo
Devolve is -1/-1 on enemy minions and dispel them on average. There are some niche situations where it can crush the enemy board, like you Devolve the enemy to soften them up for Lightning Storm clear. You can also use it to counter the Goons.
It's still a bit too situational to get value out of and sometimes you might Devolve a 5 mana into 477 and then instantly remove the card from the deck.

How often does token druid run into fatigue anyway? I guess you can tech in 1 of them for winning all fatigue games, but it's otherwise basically a dead card outside of summoning a 1 mana 1/1 and reducing the cost of Arcane Giants.
Seems insane for normal Jade Golem decks though.

It's like a very narrow edge tech card, I don't think it's very good. Maybe in control shaman it's useful.
It doesn't counter Jade Golem, it doesn't do much against that, their cost increases with their stats. N'Zoth board, sure maybe. Earlier hex usually take care of N'Zoth anyway. Maybe you play one copy in control shaman otherwise I don't see the point.
And this is the post where I predicted that Fandral is one of the MVPs of WOTOG.
Mistake were made. I'm pretty sure I more experienced since then tho.
But Fàndral still bad for cthun druid in that moment only seemingly viable archetype for druid.
Mofo should know Druid always came with new brokeback

Looks like kibler is working on a new card game, but it looks like a party type game rather than collectible. It's on kickstarter, but reached funding already.
