even 5 for 4/4 seems pretty crazy, if you were to summon 1 golem you would have a 4/4 + a minion which could scale from 1/1 to litterally anything, aswell as the potential to do that even further with a card like wolves or someshit, theres a reason they statted that 3/6 to be a 6 drop, because the jade golem potential is insanely game winning
Jade Idol should've been: *Choose One -* Summon a *Jade Golem*; or Shuffle 3 Jade Eggs into your deck. Jade Egg: When you draw this card, summon a *Jade Golem* and draw another card.
But then how are people going to complain about druid being the most op broken ass shit atm? They gotta do something to divert our attention from just shaman
Here we go again: Jade Blossom: Preeeety good. Burgly Bully: Probably more frequent in Tavern Brawl. Mana Geode: Not helpful in Arena, not worth it in constructive. Aya Blackpaw: Great Sync with N'Zoth Jade Lightning: Good because of Jade Golem Jade Spirit: Probably good Jade Shuriken: Like it. Hozen Healer: Interesting. Good but not great. Impactful in Arena Fight Promoter: Conditional draw makes it powerful. Jade Wanderer: Powerful early game card. Anti-Brawl. Devolve: Powerful against Deathrattle minions. Call in the Finishers: Good with Everyfin is Awesome. Jade Behemoth: Love it. Incredibly strong. Jade Idol: Most powerful card in the entire game. Infinite Jade Golems! Jinyu Waterspeaker: Stats pathetic, 6 heal is powerful. Jade Chieftain: Ridiculous late game card. Virmen Sensei: Mediocre card, not gonna help Beast Druid, worse than Houndmaster GadGetzan Ferryman: Preeety bad, just play Brewmaster. Daring Reporter: Good arena card, but probably not good in constructive. You're welcome.
9:00 It was basically confirmed by Brode that if you buffed Fight Promoter with Grimey Goons "buff hand" cards up to six health, it can activate off itself.
Evasivo Arcane You can't compare it to MC, MC is op and you know it. Better compare to druid's 7 mana 5/5 draw -two cards- one card; and you will see "6 mana 6/6 draw 2" is REALLY good.
Not looking forward to it at all. If you win it's because they play sucky cards and you killed them before the jade golem grew big enough. If you lose it's because you didn't play aggro cancer and got killed by 9/9 golem followed by 10/10 golem for almost no cost.
no counterplay, just play tons of stats. plus, the decks build themselves - just slap in all the jade golem cards, some removal, some draw, and call it a deck. zero ingenuity, im dreading the jade golem meta

Kalle Tuohimaa Golem Druid will be very good against control but against aggro I don't think they'll do so well. Jade Golems are pretty slow and the cards that summon golems are costed slightly higher then normal cards.
This expansion is bringing control decks to their rightful place, the mysterious place they call "the meta". Golem Druid will most likely destroy most control decks. So I'd pretty much list it as OP.
there's pretty minimal differences between Face hunter and secret hunter though, if you check the two decks on TempoStorm for example they are VERY similair
There is buff potential with that +0/+2 draw a card, circle of healing 0 mana 2/2. All while being average 2-drop. Agree. Usually the most powerful things in card games are mana efficient stuff. (doesn't mean the card silence is good).
I'm surprised Kripp never mentioned the obvious synergy Blizzard was going for between the Geode and that new 3/4 card that gives a minion +3 health. Suddenly you're facing a 2/6 geode on turn 3 that you have to kill in one shot or it will spawn endless minions. How is that not powerful?
The Bengal yeah but the mana cost doesn't really matter unless it's played on the turn, think of it like the nerubian 6 mana 4/4 thing but it's played turn 3 or how arcane golems cost 0 but are usually played turn 7 onwards
the problem is that you can just play one of these in regular old (non-jade golem) spell druid and automatically win the late-game vs any slower deck, but without compromising your aggro matchup since you could just play it as a 1/1 that cheapens your arcane giants. this card is basically a 1 mana jaraxxus with no drawback. thanks blizzard
Blizzard just hates Rogue or has no idea what to do with them. Legendary? Let's just give them Undercity Huckster with stealth. A good 2-drop? Nah let's give them a Youthful Brewmaster.
Imo rogue needs some crazy weapons and thats it, it will be fine. then blade flurry even might see play, because with ridiculous weapons it might be worth it.
He means that particular card reduces the cost of the 7 mana card by 4, and since it costs 4 mana, it's effectively free to play... however this is neglecting that Everyfin still costs 3 mana and the combo still costs 2 cards.
kripp was saying that the "call in the finishers" card is free IF you were already going to cast Everyfin that turn, lets say if you already had some minions on board. in that case, Call In the Finishers effectively summons 4 3/3's for free
Jade idol + gadgetzan auctioneer + sorcerer's apprentice. Infinite value ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) Edit: Holy shit the moment after I thought this combo up Kripp decides to steal my idea.
You forgot the most important thing about Jade Idol. Normally, when you play mill/fatigue druid, you have to avoid drawing extra cards so that your opponent will get to fatigue before you. Therefore, you need to make your deck weaker by cutting your card draw. Jade Idol doesn't just buff mill druid by allowing it to play Jade Idol, but also, since you'll never run out of cards, by allowing it to play wrath for 1, nourish, and azure drake. Personally, if I were to design Jade Idol myself, I would make it like this: "Choose One - Summon a Jade Golem, or Add three copies of this card to your deck. The copies don't have this option."
to be fair though, the fact that its 1 mana doesn't change anything. 10 mana shuffle 3 cards into your deck would beat control just as bad (in most cases)
The fact that it's 1-mana means it's not a liability against other decks, you can fill out a turn with an extra 3/3 or something against aggro and feel pretty good about it.
Evan Souter interesting idea..... it may be as you say because otherwise it would be "shuffle 3 jade idols to your deck" right? 0 mana jade idols + auctioneer = 6 jade golems in one turn if you can draw all those jade idols lol
7:55 You forgot to mention that if you buff Fight Promoter in your hand to a 6/6 or more, the battlecry will trigger off itself. (Confirmed by Blizzard)
Nah he means if you play the card in a pally deck and buff it to 6/6 when you play it it will trigger the battlecry because it will acknowledge her self
4:00 - what about the new 3/4 that gives a minion +3 health? Seems like if you actually can do this, the 2/5 geode that heals every turn to make 2/2's would be real value.
Katie Egervari The 2/5 will still need to be damaged in order to heal it, which your opponent can pretty easily play around. I guess it has synergy with pyromancer but that's about it. I guess we'll see.
Yeah, I don't really know... just thought it might work. It doesn't have to happen every turn to be good. In all honestly, a 2 health heal and 2/2 for 2 mana for no cards is pretty good just as it is.
+ChemicalTeabag How is that easy to play around, just not playing minions? If they do that then you just continue to curve out and kill them, this sort of thing is much more likely to work in a midrange priest (that can do that) rather than a control priest which you could normally afford to pass turns against.
Today Kripperino thought about the new Mean Streets of Gadgetzan cards: Jade Blossom, Burgly Bully, Mana Geode, Aya Blackpaw, Jade Lightning, Jade Spirit, Jade Shuriken, Hozen Healer, Fight Promoter, Jade Wanderer, Devolve, Call in the Finishers, Jade Behemoth, Jade Idol, Jinyu Waterspeaker, Jade Chieftain, Virmen Sensei, Gadgetzan Ferryman and Daring Reporter. Kripp's most interesting thought of this video was that Jade Idol is the most powerful card in the game!
Jade Idol nerf idea: The cards you shuffle into your deck, does not have the option to further shuffle Jade Idols to your deck, instead they can only summon Jade Golems. I think it is still good a card for Jade Golem synergy but no longer as op as it sounds like right now.
Druid Golem: Ramp/Mill Jade Golem Decks Shaman: Evolve Jade Golem Decks (their mana cost increases as well) Rogue: Probably wont use it past rank 18 (based on cards so far) but has some small potential with N'Zoth (although Devolve might screw it)
Mana Geode seems like a pretty good card with a straightforward strategy for priests this card fits more with inner fire priest I think. You have to buff the card with power word shield or any health buff card, attack into your enemies minions and then throw down some healing and to spice it up you can grab inner fire. You will get a 5/5 or higher 2 drop at the cost of 4 mana or so or so with possible 2/2 to back it up and have an ok start/mid game board.
I think the best way to look at the jade golem cards is: summon x/x minion (size depending on expected number of jade golem cards previously played) *and give +1/+1 to all future jade golems*.
Couldn't priest just save a thoughtsteal for the late game to guarantee a Jade Idol steal? Druid would still have bigger jade golems but it would prevent the fatigue war maybe?
+zinofwin I recall there being a maximum number of turns, a few tens or so beyond 30 both players just explode and it ends in a draw. Not sure on the exact count since it's not something you'd ever actually reach in a serious game before this card existed but I guess it's about to become a relevant mechanic to learn.
What Kripp didn't say about Fight Promoter is: it works with itself. So if you are playing a Grimy Goon deck, and buff it to 6/6 at least, then it will always draw 2 cards (6 mana 6/6 which draws 2 cards sounds like a super OP pre-nerf Ancient of Lore), regardless of the board state.
For how the "fully heal" mechanic works we can asume that Auchenai Soulpriest + hozen healer will be a direct removal for priest making it a must for some decks.
Shamam is about to lose a lot of good cards against aggro when the cycle rotates out. And I know it will only rotate around january and we'll get a month to play all of those togheter. However a month is not that long, they will need those cards to still exist
For mana geode to be good, Priest only needs to have opportunities to trade into a smaller 1 or 2 drop with the Geode, since healing it to get a 2/2 is never going to be a bad play (though it might not be the BEST play if you're holding a strong 3 drop). But like turn 1, going second, coin + geode, turn 2 trade into a 1 drop and heal, is, most of the time, going to negate your opponent's tempo if they're playing most small minions (the occasional Flame Imp not withstanding).
Jade Idol is also, perhaps ironically, really good in a Mill Druid list. If we ever get another usable mill druid that is. I can imagine a few people will try making Miracle Idol a thing.
Well "Mill" couldn't really become a thing because the deck counters itself, so if the deck ever became popular mirror matches would probably tech against itself and change the win condition because it is pretty much impossible to mill away a Jade Idol deck
No, I mean "Mill" Druid can't be a thing because Druid has a card that can counter Mill/Fatigue by itself, so you can't make a mill Druid because every other Druid has a card that just destroys your win condition, so it won't be mill vs mill, it will be Jade Druid vs Jade Druid
Ahmed Al shouwaikh No, the second jade golem costs two, the third is worth three mana, etc. All the way up to ten mana so devolve wouldn't be as helpful
and since the golems have a high mana cost compared to their stat, devolve wont do that much to them (5 mana 5/5 turns into 4 mana 4/5 or so) the minions that are hurt the most by devolve are overload minions. so.. devolve is a shaman counter, in shaman?
Hey Kripp, you forgot to mention that Hozen Healer targets any minion and not just friendly. For arena that could totally kill the late game utility of this card if played when your board is empty .
11:40 "you basically play 4 3/3 murlocs for 0 mana" Im no math genius but i can see that "Call in the Finishers" costs 4 mana and "Everyfine is Awesome" would cost 3 mana with the cost reduction. 4+3=7 and im pretty sure 7 isnt equal to 0. Guess Kripp just made a little mistake when talking.
I think he was comparing it to just playing evryfin on its own, like, for 7 mana you can play everyfin, and for 0 extra mana you can have 4 3/3 murlocs. But I agree he didn't say it very weld.
I don't like the Jade Golem mechanic. It will lead to lots of extremely linear games with no decision making. I think it will make many games very boring. Imagine 2 Golem decks against each other. Both players just play the exact same Golem cards on curve till one player misses a beat and loses.
I've never gotten that feeling. Aggro decks are boring as fuck because you have multiples of every low curve card, and every game feels exactly the same. C'Thun games are always different. Particularly Druid C'Thun, with Fandral involved. Whether you have ramp in your opening hand, can pull of a good Fandral combo, what you find with your raven idols, or if you're even are able to draw C'Thun at all varies wildly from game to game.
It will be fun for a few weeks or a month. Thankfully even if it does become tier1 we only have to wait 4 months to a whole new set comes out and stuff rotates giving us another fun month.
Jade golems mechanic will incitate players to either play jade golems or play aggro to counter jade golems. No non-otk control deck can win against a jade idol deck => play aggro/midrange or play jade golems or lose.
True but if agro and midrange just beats the deck with jade idol and no one plays idol you can play the other decks. Its a meta thing. But if it is played you are right.
Daring reporter is put in a Druid jade mil deck. Play it with that Murdoch card (that I forgot the name) where both players draw two cards. It becomes a 6/6
hunter4hire jade druid will probably not be a mill Deck...you can't fatigue the other druids and there won't be any other controll decks...so it will be Classic controll to counter Aggro and intself
i think that ferryman actually will be used in jade golem decks so that you can retrieve a lower level golem ...recast and get a bump for 1 mana.....so if you have a 1/1 a 3/3 a/4/4 , your opponent may chose to take out the 3/3 and the 4/4 you are left with the1/1, retrieve, recast for one and get a 5/5
5:54 Holy bittersweet mother of crap, I can't believe it. Kripp pronounced a word two ways and then settled on the CORRECT way!! That's literally never happened in the past 2 years. I honestly don't think I'm exaggerating. I hope we don't hear him switch back to "sha-ricken" because I don't think I could stand to hear him bleat it like he does "kray-ken".
Jade Blossom - For the Jade Golem, you should assume the 5-7 per game, but instead of assuming a 6-6, you should average it out to be worth 3-3 worth of stats, OR assume it to be the lowest and be worth 2-2 if you round the 5 down. Jade Idol - Do you think it would be better to have it put 3 copies of 'Jaded' Idol which summons a jade golem only instead?
Serious question for Kripp. I noticed that if you have no board clears and happen to go second you are basically screwed. Can you do a video regarding that and how to balance this?
Jade Idol is THE most unhealthy card in the game. I mean come on, why did you even put fatigue in the game if you're gonna give players a way to completely ignore it? What are you thinking blizz? Have you lost your mind?
Jade Wanderer's value is in the ability to play it early and leave it on board so that the Golem investment isn't vulnerable until later. Imagine two of these in play that don't get removed until your counter is at 4, and suddenly a 5/5 and a 6/6 hit the deck. Worth the early 4 mana investment? Possibly.
will the jade golem machanic work for the total game or just for the player? for example, secret keeper's stat boost for every secret played. not just the player's secrets.
wow devolve looks pretty strong. it's like a 2 Mana Mass dispell which gives - 1/1 Stats.especially with all these in Hand Buffs, Jade golems and deathrattle Decks !
Fight promoter has synergy with Grimey Goons. If it is buffed to 6 health you will draw 2 from playing itself. Then it is a 6 mana 6/6 that draws 2 cards (given the right circumstances). Better than pre-nerf ancient of lore.
Jade golems are like drawing cards in a fatigue matchup. The reason you don't play slam on a minion with 3+ health is because at the end of the game, that draw could be worth 7 or 8 health. Same here, an extra jade golem is +1/+1 to every other one you play

Incoming Shaman Legendary: 4 mana 7/7. Whenever you overload, summon 1 Jade Golem per locked mana crystal.
like just because of the name
Jaqen H'ghar yay
A man plays Hearthstone.
5 mana 4/4 with that effect would actually be interesting.
even 5 for 4/4 seems pretty crazy, if you were to summon 1 golem you would have a 4/4 + a minion which could scale from 1/1 to litterally anything, aswell as the potential to do that even further with a card like wolves or someshit, theres a reason they statted that 3/6 to be a 6 drop, because the jade golem potential is insanely game winning
Jade Idol should've been:
*Choose One -* Summon a *Jade Golem*; or Shuffle 3 Jade Eggs into your deck.
Jade Egg: When you draw this card, summon a *Jade Golem* and draw another card.
But then how are people going to complain about druid being the most op broken ass shit atm? They gotta do something to divert our attention from just shaman
is what it is
did you even think about how insane that would be?
never fatigue card
Here we go again:
Jade Blossom: Preeeety good.
Burgly Bully: Probably more frequent in Tavern Brawl.
Mana Geode: Not helpful in Arena, not worth it in constructive.
Aya Blackpaw: Great Sync with N'Zoth
Jade Lightning: Good because of Jade Golem
Jade Spirit: Probably good
Jade Shuriken: Like it.
Hozen Healer: Interesting. Good but not great. Impactful in Arena
Fight Promoter: Conditional draw makes it powerful.
Jade Wanderer: Powerful early game card. Anti-Brawl.
Devolve: Powerful against Deathrattle minions.
Call in the Finishers: Good with Everyfin is Awesome.
Jade Behemoth: Love it. Incredibly strong.
Jade Idol: Most powerful card in the entire game. Infinite Jade Golems!
Jinyu Waterspeaker: Stats pathetic, 6 heal is powerful.
Jade Chieftain: Ridiculous late game card.
Virmen Sensei: Mediocre card, not gonna help Beast Druid, worse than Houndmaster
GadGetzan Ferryman: Preeety bad, just play Brewmaster.
Daring Reporter: Good arena card, but probably not good in constructive.
You're welcome.
its constructed not constructive, much like your comments actually
Alex Williams triggered lmao
Shots fired
way to give constructed criticism
The quip about Jinyu Waterspeaker's "pathetic" stats was a joke. Remember how shaman has a 4 mana 7/7? 4 mana 3/6 are great stats by normal standards.
9:00
It was basically confirmed by Brode that if you buffed Fight Promoter with Grimey Goons "buff hand" cards up to six health, it can activate off itself.
Any source on that?
Jürgen Hans twitter.com/bdbrode/status/800870282663587840
6 mana 6/6 draw 2 is ok, not great , since we have a 6 mana 6/6 draw 3-5 and put all into play. But no worry, its balanced
Evasivo Arcane
You can't compare it to MC, MC is op and you know it.
Better compare to druid's 7 mana 5/5 draw -two cards- one card; and you will see "6 mana 6/6 draw 2" is REALLY good.
Nonononono. NO. its balanced. Kappa
Am I the only one who HATES this Jade Golem mechanic? It might be not OP, but it is so boring.
It is OP, that's the problem
Not looking forward to it at all.
If you win it's because they play sucky cards and you killed them before the jade golem grew big enough.
If you lose it's because you didn't play aggro cancer and got killed by 9/9 golem followed by 10/10 golem for almost no cost.
Jade golems are the next c'thun decks. Boring to play against.
It's c'thun all over again. Play a boring game with boring cards so you can do op shit in the late game.
no counterplay, just play tons of stats. plus, the decks build themselves - just slap in all the jade golem cards, some removal, some draw, and call it a deck. zero ingenuity, im dreading the jade golem meta
RIP Mill decks, you were an archetype at one point, but not no more.
Why not?
Pretty simple a card that simply lets you never get to fadigue...
josué costa that is one class
Matt Kingsley did you even watch the video?
What if the mill guy play this card? it seems pretty good
5:47 most in-depth review :D

Kripp you can't fill your deck with 100 Jade Idols, you silly goose don't you know you can only have 60 cards in your deck.
Sixty, 60-60s, Jade golems will be OP
actually it maxes at a 30/30, so best case its an Ancient One that you can reasonably play
Sixty minions that are only 30/30s for 1? Not even worth!
Brenton Kennedy who says the max is 30/30?
The gif from blizzard maxes at 30/30.
20:02
u saved my life!
its u shaved* my wife* btw
Leach
Big Brody I don't think anyone wants that. At all. Ever.
Sagittarius why not?
Just wait for the "reset opponents jade golem count" card.
if you have no duplicates, reset the jade golem count for both players to 1.
Golem Druid is going to join the group of Face Hunter and Midrange Shaman.
The Broken Ones.
Face Hunter isn't broken right now. Secret Hunter is the one that's currently being used.
Not right now, but it was. It was the OG overused and cancerous deck.
Kalle Tuohimaa Golem Druid will be very good against control but against aggro I don't think they'll do so well. Jade Golems are pretty slow and the cards that summon golems are costed slightly higher then normal cards.

there's pretty minimal differences between Face hunter and secret hunter though, if you check the two decks on TempoStorm for example they are VERY similair
blizzard made jade idol cause theyre tired of watching kripp play fatigue warrior
04:09 I'm calling it.
You gonna regret that just like Fendral.
Saulo Silva lol really ? You guys really think a 2 mana 2/3 with a mediocre effect is going to be meta breaking ? Yeah ok .. Let's bet on that then .
like2upload3videos meta defining? no a decent fatigue card, maybe
There is buff potential with that +0/+2 draw a card, circle of healing 0 mana 2/2. All while being average 2-drop. Agree. Usually the most powerful things in card games are mana efficient stuff. (doesn't mean the card silence is good).
I'm surprised Kripp never mentioned the obvious synergy Blizzard was going for between the Geode and that new 3/4 card that gives a minion +3 health. Suddenly you're facing a 2/6 geode on turn 3 that you have to kill in one shot or it will spawn endless minions. How is that not powerful?
All it does is summon 2/2s, with the other cards priest is getting theres no way in hell that cards seeing play
If only Warrior had Jade Idol...
I know right? #NeverFatigue
You can probably get a 1 mana 30/30 every turn.
Jade idol is going to break the game. You're going to summon 1 mana 7/7's , 1 mana 10/10's, etc. it's insane!
The Bengal yeah but the mana cost doesn't really matter unless it's played on the turn, think of it like the nerubian 6 mana 4/4 thing but it's played turn 3 or how arcane golems cost 0 but are usually played turn 7 onwards
The Bengal but, it's very slow though and in the late game you have to consistently topdeck them
the game is already broken.
+SacredxDynasty, I'll let you in on a little secret, Gadgetzan Auctioneer is in the game and druid is very good at using it.
the problem is that you can just play one of these in regular old (non-jade golem) spell druid and automatically win the late-game vs any slower deck, but without compromising your aggro matchup since you could just play it as a 1/1 that cheapens your arcane giants.
this card is basically a 1 mana jaraxxus with no drawback. thanks blizzard
Blizzard just hates Rogue or has no idea what to do with them. Legendary? Let's just give them Undercity Huckster with stealth. A good 2-drop? Nah let's give them a Youthful Brewmaster.
Jaco oh bummer hey, its like they gave them a silence that can only silence ur own minion and draws u a card for 2 mana... cough cough priest
yeah ut priest are gonna be tier 1 when this releases
Shittier Youthful Brewmaster*
Imo rogue needs some crazy weapons and thats it, it will be fine. then blade flurry even might see play, because with ridiculous weapons it might be worth it.
Mykhail Bladeflurry is never worth it
Is Kripp tripping at 11:37 or am I missing something? It'd be 7 mana for the 4 3/3 murlocs right? Not 0 mana? Halp.
Everyfin is reduced by 4 mana, kinda making Call in the Finishers free. (7)+(4)=(7). Vegan math.
He means that particular card reduces the cost of the 7 mana card by 4, and since it costs 4 mana, it's effectively free to play... however this is neglecting that Everyfin still costs 3 mana and the combo still costs 2 cards.
PS the everyfin is awesome will rotate out next standard cycle scrub
kripp was saying that the "call in the finishers" card is free IF you were already going to cast Everyfin that turn, lets say if you already had some minions on board. in that case, Call In the Finishers effectively summons 4 3/3's for free
Vegan Math
Jade idol + gadgetzan auctioneer + sorcerer's apprentice. Infinite value ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) Edit: Holy shit the moment after I thought this combo up Kripp decides to steal my idea.
Raging Rens how would a Druid a S.A?
Randomesrik RNGsus my friend.
but he made the video before hand ;) dont see how he stole it
well almost as good as the new priest legend with colddarra drake and sir finley that has given you one of the damaging powers or just soulpriest
Can 2 mana deal 2 damage, combo summon a jade golem be good? Shuriken!
You forgot the most important thing about Jade Idol.
Normally, when you play mill/fatigue druid, you have to avoid drawing extra cards so that your opponent will get to fatigue before you. Therefore, you need to make your deck weaker by cutting your card draw. Jade Idol doesn't just buff mill druid by allowing it to play Jade Idol, but also, since you'll never run out of cards, by allowing it to play wrath for 1, nourish, and azure drake.
Personally, if I were to design Jade Idol myself, I would make it like this: "Choose One - Summon a Jade Golem, or Add three copies of this card to your deck. The copies don't have this option."
So what do Jade Golems have to do with Gadgetzan?
Shhhhhhhhhhhh...
There's now a panda crime syndicate in Gadgetzan, apparently.
what does this Expansion have to do with gadgetzan?
The Jade Lotus collect Jade with a secret intention to make Jade Golems. Thisnhas everything to do with it
It's basically a MoP expansion.
Said as soon as it was revealed, Jade Idol is the most broken card in years.
My reaction:
first reaction: oh that's pretty good (yes, I have Kripp Syndrome)
after 30 seconds: oh wait
after 31 seconds: WTF BLIZZ?
Remarkable SeiF I highly highly doubt that .. Lol
***** Control without a solid win condition such as N'zoth won't be able to beat this 1 mana common card, that's pretty damn broken.
to be fair though, the fact that its 1 mana doesn't change anything. 10 mana shuffle 3 cards into your deck would beat control just as bad (in most cases)
The fact that it's 1-mana means it's not a liability against other decks, you can fill out a turn with an extra 3/3 or something against aggro and feel pretty good about it.
Doctor OverBoom. 4 Mana 7/7. Summons two Jade Golems. Warning: Golems may overload 1-4 for opponent on deathrattle.
Fandral+Jade Idol = Concede
Kappa :3
Since jade idol says shuffle copies, does that mean that cost reduction will make all copies cost 0?
Dear god please no
Evan Souter interesting idea..... it may be as you say because otherwise it would be "shuffle 3 jade idols to your deck" right? 0 mana jade idols + auctioneer = 6 jade golems in one turn if you can draw all those jade idols lol
So if you manage to reduce the cost of 1 with gadgetzan you win the game? Interesting
No. Things like mirror entity and faceless manipulator say "exact copies" this just says copies. it's different.
in that case "gang up" would need to copy buffed minions, thats just not how those efects work

7:55 You forgot to mention that if you buff Fight Promoter in your hand to a 6/6 or more, the battlecry will trigger off itself. (Confirmed by Blizzard)
Nah he means if you play the card in a pally deck and buff it to 6/6 when you play it it will trigger the battlecry because it will acknowledge her self
Props to Hearthstone for finally giving us loops like Magic.
I LOVED the Jade Golem mechanic, it's the best one at fiting it's gang's classes
Was there any mention of Jade Golem in this video?
TiCLer at the beginning
no
4:00 - what about the new 3/4 that gives a minion +3 health? Seems like if you actually can do this, the 2/5 geode that heals every turn to make 2/2's would be real value.
Curve Priest will be a thing.
Katie Egervari The 2/5 will still need to be damaged in order to heal it, which your opponent can pretty easily play around. I guess it has synergy with pyromancer but that's about it. I guess we'll see.
Yeah, I don't really know... just thought it might work. It doesn't have to happen every turn to be good. In all honestly, a 2 health heal and 2/2 for 2 mana for no cards is pretty good just as it is.
Just pissed me off how much power creep that card has over Dark Cultist :/
+ChemicalTeabag
How is that easy to play around, just not playing minions? If they do that then you just continue to curve out and kill them, this sort of thing is much more likely to work in a midrange priest (that can do that) rather than a control priest which you could normally afford to pass turns against.
Fandral behind a wall of taunting Jade Golems with Jade Idol endlessly generating value. VALUE!
I love the artwork for Devlove. It's amazing!
Mass Dispell is looking preeeeeeeetty good
The jade idols aren't buffed like a spell was cast on them. So there is nothing to dispel. Not good. Just useless like always.
you forgot Kappa
MadDany I actually think it will be a buff that can be silence,I'm not sure (or else it's literally unstopable). But I guess you can't be aswell lol.
Its not tho im pretty sure... they have individual tokens for each stat line
@MadDany Im mean for the ones that summon of deathrattle....
Today Kripperino thought about the new Mean Streets of Gadgetzan cards: Jade Blossom, Burgly Bully, Mana Geode, Aya Blackpaw, Jade Lightning, Jade Spirit, Jade Shuriken, Hozen Healer, Fight Promoter, Jade Wanderer, Devolve, Call in the Finishers, Jade Behemoth, Jade Idol, Jinyu Waterspeaker, Jade Chieftain, Virmen Sensei, Gadgetzan Ferryman and Daring Reporter.
Kripp's most interesting thought of this video was that Jade Idol is the most powerful card in the game!
Everyfin is Awesome will rotate out in 2017 so no next gen midrange Shaman
I can see Jade Idol changing to "Summon a Jade Golem or shuffle 3 Jade Golems into your deck."
Jade Idol nerf idea: The cards you shuffle into your deck, does not have the option to further shuffle Jade Idols to your deck, instead they can only summon Jade Golems. I think it is still good a card for Jade Golem synergy but no longer as op as it sounds like right now.
Druid Golem: Ramp/Mill Jade Golem Decks
Shaman: Evolve Jade Golem Decks (their mana cost increases as well)
Rogue: Probably wont use it past rank 18 (based on cards so far) but has some small potential with N'Zoth (although Devolve might screw it)
The next expansion after this will be The rough passover at Booty Bay and it will have a jew golem focus
Mana Geode seems like a pretty good card with a straightforward strategy for priests this card fits more with inner fire priest I think. You have to buff the card with power word shield or any health buff card, attack into your enemies minions and then throw down some healing and to spice it up you can grab inner fire. You will get a 5/5 or higher 2 drop at the cost of 4 mana or so or so with possible 2/2 to back it up and have an ok start/mid game board.

Duckerino Kripperino Why do i die of laughter whenever i see this comment...xD
Vexious Bear me too ,This krippireno Gangs is very funny
bork
Duckerino Kripperino Were you Ragnoros in your last life?
ForGlory Scrubs bork "that was me"
I think the best way to look at the jade golem cards is:
summon x/x minion (size depending on expected number of jade golem cards previously played) *and give +1/+1 to all future jade golems*.
Couldn't priest just save a thoughtsteal for the late game to guarantee a Jade Idol steal?
Druid would still have bigger jade golems but it would prevent the fatigue war maybe?
You have to ask yourself if they will even be alive at that point with druid summoning multiple massive jade golems every turn
Good point i am just trying to imagine some counters to Jade Idol if it ends up being that powerful
good thinking. Not sure what blizzard was thinking in terms of play time. Game might just never end
Calling it now, lorewalker cho in every deck
+zinofwin
I recall there being a maximum number of turns, a few tens or so beyond 30 both players just explode and it ends in a draw. Not sure on the exact count since it's not something you'd ever actually reach in a serious game before this card existed but I guess it's about to become a relevant mechanic to learn.
What Kripp didn't say about Fight Promoter is: it works with itself. So if you are playing a Grimy Goon deck, and buff it to 6/6 at least, then it will always draw 2 cards (6 mana 6/6 which draws 2 cards sounds like a super OP pre-nerf Ancient of Lore), regardless of the board state.
jade idol is fucking broken holy shit
For how the "fully heal" mechanic works we can asume that Auchenai Soulpriest + hozen healer will be a direct removal for priest making it a must for some decks.
Jade Idol is going to ruin a lot of tavern brawl
Take a drink every time Kripp says mental
devolve seems like its going to shut down zoo decks... changing all those 1 drops to 0 or 2 to 1s would be big
trumpeter811 not really because at the moment shaman is faster than an aggro deck.
They never reache Turn 10 so never would see a play
Bal Gu except you only need to reach turn 2 to play it
Shamam is about to lose a lot of good cards against aggro when the cycle rotates out. And I know it will only rotate around january and we'll get a month to play all of those togheter. However a month is not that long, they will need those cards to still exist
trumpeter811 except that one and two drops are often very strong.
btw that is the principt of zoo to overflood the board you realy wouldn't do a lot.
Or even help him with taunts
Fight promoter when buffed from the other expansion cards while in hand, when it is played will also be draw from itself so it can be a 6/6 draw 2!
fight promoter can also be combo'ed with itself if you have hand buffing cards
I doubt that. Fight Promoter will probably check the cards that are already on your board when you play it.
Jürgen Hans but thats not how battecry works in HS. They play minion, then battlecry, then effects (like a knifejuggler).
Ben brode said this works. Battle cry minions set off the battle cry after you play the minion. So if the card becoems a 6/6 it will trigger
Yea I got the Idea from Trump's card review video
Call in the finishers -> totem -> see if they survive enemy turn -> play bloodlust
wtf??? is that Jade Idol real?? that is gonna break the game!!!
it is just plain stupid idk why they made this card doesnt make any sense
Hozen healer + Auchenai/Enter the Shadow is a 6/8 mana 2/6 assassinate. I'll definitely be trying this out.
what about Daring Reporter in mill decks?
Francisco Gutiérrez My first thought upon seeing the card.
Still seems like an odd inclusion, mill rogue never put in stuff like questing adventurer which would be pretty much the same but cheaper.
Francisco Gutiérrez mill is gonna be obsolete with jade idol
For mana geode to be good, Priest only needs to have opportunities to trade into a smaller 1 or 2 drop with the Geode, since healing it to get a 2/2 is never going to be a bad play (though it might not be the BEST play if you're holding a strong 3 drop).
But like turn 1, going second, coin + geode, turn 2 trade into a 1 drop and heal, is, most of the time, going to negate your opponent's tempo if they're playing most small minions (the occasional Flame Imp not withstanding).
Hey Kripp, why do you sound high when you're in slow motion?
Also, you look like Ted. You sound like Ted.
From How I Met Your Mother
HAHAHA, thank you mentioning, its hilarious
we should make kripp say ''man..'' more xD
I'm looking forward to jade mill druid with that reporter as well. looks like it's gonna be fun.
12:08 carta do Davy Jones!
Fight promoter can trigger of itself too! (with the add +x/+x to a minion in your hand) if you buff it to a 6/6 in your hand, it will trigger ;)
things i like; women, beer and kripp
i like trains
Jade Idol is also, perhaps ironically, really good in a Mill Druid list. If we ever get another usable mill druid that is.
I can imagine a few people will try making Miracle Idol a thing.
Welp mill druid is going to be a thing now, not sure i feel about that.
Well "Mill" couldn't really become a thing because the deck counters itself, so if the deck ever became popular mirror matches would probably tech against itself and change the win condition because it is pretty much impossible to mill away a Jade Idol deck
Alt3r unless you mill both jade idols x) or counterspell both
lol mill vs mill,and teching to counter mill with your mill deck. Hahah that would be the funniest meta ever.
No, I mean "Mill" Druid can't be a thing because Druid has a card that can counter Mill/Fatigue by itself, so you can't make a mill Druid because every other Druid has a card that just destroys your win condition, so it won't be mill vs mill, it will be Jade Druid vs Jade Druid
David Ruddle when loe was released i played mill rogue alot, its very fun deck :D also it is very hard
Hozen Healers will be great in priest. You can use it with healing = damage cards/minions as hard removal.
Why didn't they just add the monk class? All these jade cards could have easily been a new class.
11:48 Remember guys: 4 + 7 - 4 = 0. Damn solid math here.
devolve is ment to counter jade golem spam by turning them into 0 cost extremely powerful card in a jade golem meta.
jade golem mana costs scale up
Im pretty sure that mana cost scales with stats up to 10/10 when all of them are 10 mana
Ahmed Al shouwaikh No, the second jade golem costs two, the third is worth three mana, etc. All the way up to ten mana so devolve wouldn't be as helpful
devolve is the card to broke priest hardly establisted high hp minion board
and since the golems have a high mana cost compared to their stat, devolve wont do that much to them (5 mana 5/5 turns into 4 mana 4/5 or so)
the minions that are hurt the most by devolve are overload minions. so.. devolve is a shaman counter, in shaman?
Hey Kripp, you forgot to mention that Hozen Healer targets any minion and not just friendly. For arena that could totally kill the late game utility of this card if played when your board is empty .
11:40 "you basically play 4 3/3 murlocs for 0 mana"
Im no math genius but i can see that "Call in the Finishers" costs 4 mana and "Everyfine is Awesome" would cost 3 mana with the cost reduction. 4+3=7 and im pretty sure 7 isnt equal to 0. Guess Kripp just made a little mistake when talking.
Bubbli97 true
I think he was comparing it to just playing evryfin on its own, like, for 7 mana you can play everyfin, and for 0 extra mana you can have 4 3/3 murlocs. But I agree he didn't say it very weld.
he also seems to forget everyfin is from loe and will be gone soon
Vegan Math
Do Blizzard test their cards before release, because looking at the Jade Golem mechanic, I can only assume they dont.
I don't like the Jade Golem mechanic. It will lead to lots of extremely linear games with no decision making. I think it will make many games very boring. Imagine 2 Golem decks against each other. Both players just play the exact same Golem cards on curve till one player misses a beat and loses.
frankbauerful its similar to C'thun decks. which are boring as fuck
I've never gotten that feeling. Aggro decks are boring as fuck because you have multiples of every low curve card, and every game feels exactly the same. C'Thun games are always different. Particularly Druid C'Thun, with Fandral involved. Whether you have ramp in your opening hand, can pull of a good Fandral combo, what you find with your raven idols, or if you're even are able to draw C'Thun at all varies wildly from game to game.
It will be fun for a few weeks or a month. Thankfully even if it does become tier1 we only have to wait 4 months to a whole new set comes out and stuff rotates giving us another fun month.
Jade golems mechanic will incitate players to either play jade golems or play aggro to counter jade golems. No non-otk control deck can win against a jade idol deck => play aggro/midrange or play jade golems or lose.
True but if agro and midrange just beats the deck with jade idol and no one plays idol you can play the other decks. Its a meta thing. But if it is played you are right.
Daring reporter is put in a Druid jade mil deck. Play it with that Murdoch card (that I forgot the name) where both players draw two cards. It becomes a 6/6
hunter4hire jade druid will probably not be a mill Deck...you can't fatigue the other druids and there won't be any other controll decks...so it will be Classic controll to counter Aggro and intself
It's funny how all those 3 jade classes will get completely fked up on no synergy cards like those in arena, and mage is still the God tier Kappa
OSaV If a rogue gets multiple shurikens, it would be better than eviscerate. Else it is crap.
Last time I was this early Kripp was still making WOW tutorials
jade idol is going to ruin the entire game
I'm so hyped to see massive jade golems ,the decks that combo golems will be sick.
GEOPAS1995 and they will trade golems till turn 40 because both would loose if they didn't
Jade idol should not exist.... wtf blizzard
Look Behind You yeah because we're not going to keep removing them with removals. We only have like 4-6 Least in our deck.
i think that ferryman actually will be used in jade golem decks so that you can retrieve a lower level golem ...recast and get a bump for 1 mana.....so if you have a 1/1 a 3/3 a/4/4 , your opponent may chose to take out the 3/3 and the 4/4 you are left with the1/1, retrieve, recast for one and get a 5/5
5:54 Holy bittersweet mother of crap, I can't believe it. Kripp pronounced a word two ways and then settled on the CORRECT way!! That's literally never happened in the past 2 years. I honestly don't think I'm exaggerating. I hope we don't hear him switch back to "sha-ricken" because I don't think I could stand to hear him bleat it like he does "kray-ken".
Jade Blossom - For the Jade Golem, you should assume the 5-7 per game, but instead of assuming a 6-6, you should average it out to be worth 3-3 worth of stats, OR assume it to be the lowest and be worth 2-2 if you round the 5 down.
Jade Idol - Do you think it would be better to have it put 3 copies of 'Jaded' Idol which summons a jade golem only instead?
Poll: Which Faction is your favorite? www.strawpoll.me/11681216/
Rin Mathews should be asking this with its full release
i'm gonna try jade mill druid, aggro paladin and new midrange hunter after this expantion :)
valor
Serious question for Kripp. I noticed that if you have no board clears and happen to go second you are basically screwed. Can you do a video regarding that and how to balance this?
What the fuck is the deal with jade idol? Holy shit.
lmao

is hozen healer going to be like the reno jackson effect on jaraxus?
Jade Idol is THE most unhealthy card in the game. I mean come on, why did you even put fatigue in the game if you're gonna give players a way to completely ignore it? What are you thinking blizz? Have you lost your mind?
Call in the finishers will be run in everyfin decks once the aggro cards rotate out, you're funny Kripp.
devolve severely overrated
Great against zoo
Zombi Hunter or the 1 Mana jade Golems?
no as the jade golems get bigger there mana cost scales as well
Zombi Hunter
Except zoo is not played that much anymore and that doesnt seem to change with this expansion
I thinks its just a joke card. A simple board clear is always better
Jade Idol would be ok if the other effect was to just shuffle 3 jade golems in your deck; still powerful, but not stupidly broken.
I can't wait for Best of Devolve highlights!
How to fix Jade Idol:
Choose one - summon a Jade Golem or shuffle TWO JADE GOLEMS into your deck. Yes, not three, just two.
Jade Wanderer's value is in the ability to play it early and leave it on board so that the Golem investment isn't vulnerable until later. Imagine two of these in play that don't get removed until your counter is at 4, and suddenly a 5/5 and a 6/6 hit the deck. Worth the early 4 mana investment? Possibly.
will the jade golem machanic work for the total game or just for the player? for example, secret keeper's stat boost for every secret played. not just the player's secrets.
wow devolve looks pretty strong. it's like a 2 Mana Mass dispell which gives - 1/1 Stats.especially with all these in Hand Buffs, Jade golems and deathrattle Decks !
Fight promoter has synergy with Grimey Goons. If it is buffed to 6 health you will draw 2 from playing itself. Then it is a 6 mana 6/6 that draws 2 cards (given the right circumstances). Better than pre-nerf ancient of lore.
How are other classes going to be able to handle these jade lotuses?
Jade golems are like drawing cards in a fatigue matchup. The reason you don't play slam on a minion with 3+ health is because at the end of the game, that draw could be worth 7 or 8 health. Same here, an extra jade golem is +1/+1 to every other one you play
