Sweet design I love it. It can be usefull for jade shaman, but we must wait untill expansion to test it out. I think that one copy of it is enough cause he is too slow for turn 7.
If i play this with Brann on board, and ive played 4 jade golems, do i get two 5/5s or a 5/5 and a 6/6?
I’m pretty sure it would be a 5/5 and a 6/6.
evaluating the power level of jade golem cards is frustrating. I feel I can’t be sure until gameplay but theoretically they seem pretty sweet.
I hate this Jade golem mechanic. For me it’s so similar to C’thun buffing. Or i don’t understand Jade Golem mechanic ?
Because the theorized playstyle of jade golems involves buffing a minion in your deck it is similar to cthun. The same applies to the Grimy Goons playstyle, but it buffs whats in your hand rather than your deck. But they are all very similar
I think on turn 7 you probably have allready played some/alot of jade golems so this seems a late game powerhouse to me. Probably an auto-include in all shaman jade golem decks.
If you’ve played some Jade cards and summoned some golems before this card, then it is good, otherwise if you summon a 2/2 with taunt or 3/3 it wont be that good!
All in all very interesting card but maybe there are better Jade Golem cards
