   What would you suggest would be best replaced with Kun, The Forgotten King in this deck? Or is Kun useless here?

   1. Adam August 11, 2017

      I don't think Kun belongs here.

      1. Twisted420 August 17, 2017

         Kun is great here!!! Fandral into Kun into Ultimate Infestation makes your enemy very sad

   2 infestations seems bad. Maybe DK instead of one?

   1. Sahiko August 11, 2017

      2 infestations is VERY GOOD but i put the si insteas of spreading plague

      1. Sahiko August 11, 2017

         Sorry the DK

   Great deck,
   I lost once with it to another growth druid in first 10 ranked games.
   I would maybe remove one of the Spreading Plagues and switch it with a mire keeper for additional growth options. Playing Ultimate Infestation while you're opponent is on his 6/7 turn is pretty much game.

   Worst deck ever - takes hours until you can do something useful

   1. Rip August 12, 2017

      Easily one of the best decks on ladder right now.

   2. Daremyyy0915 August 12, 2017

      Im currently rank 64 legend on Asian server with this list, and climbed from rank 5 to 1 with this list in NA. this list is actually really good.

      1. Daremyyy0915 August 12, 2017

         Now rank 10, deck is great. black knight tech has surprisingly been very good.

         1. J.J. Robuniki August 12, 2017

            Started having trouble with it, trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I lack Malfurion.

            I feel it has something to do with the Mulligan. I always tend to desperately collect Ramp cards like Wild Growth to increase my Mana total, while the opponent floods the field.
            What should my Mulligan and Game plan be against Aggro?

            1. RaG August 12, 2017

               The key is you gotta know how many mana you'll ramping to, you need to ramp correctly, you should have the plan, Cards to be kept against Aggro are : Blossom, Swipe, Wrath. And with this deck if you already have your Jade cards in hand, you better use Nourish to ramp and use that 10 mana out value card to refill

   3. guyver364 August 20, 2017

      well thats because youre a terrible player

6. antonaras888 August 12, 2017

   how can i replace black knight ?

   1. Tirion August 14, 2017

      Lich King :)

   2. Madfisher August 22, 2017

      Natrualize is pretty good atm

   1. Madfisher August 22, 2017

      Against aggro if you have innervate swipe and plague are good keeps. Getting ramped up and playing big taunts and malfurion are good too. The deck should play out aggro games well if you don't draw bad.

8. iBundy August 12, 2017

   This deck seems great, but why the Spellbreaker??

   1. Xanitos August 13, 2017

      For this Priest card with Taunt with deathrattle destroys a random minion. Mainly as it's the most common matchup and this card can put a stop to the Jade Druids final push for lethal.

9. Smurfhatzer August 13, 2017

   Misst 4 cards but still whent 8/0 god deck

10. Lexiles August 14, 2017

    No Feral Rage PogChamp

11. Quest Rogue August 14, 2017

    I'm having trouble with it, looking to figure out what I'm doing wrong. My recipe differs because it lacks Malfurion (which I'll add once I open him) and Black Knight, which I replaced with the Lich King. I also lack a second Primordial Drake and don't run Spellbreaker by choice. Can someone give me a gameplan for this deck? It seems obvious, probably.
    Usually what I do is ramp for the first few turns until I can play Nourish or Ultimate Infestation to increase my hand, then start powering up my Jades. My check-mate is to fill my (by that point) reduced deck with Jade Idols and start drawing them continuely with Gadgetzan Auctioneer, summoning huge Jade Golems in my late game. Can someone give me more details? Like, Mulligan, match-up specific plays etc.

    1. lost_head August 17, 2017

       You should play Nourish intro ramp instead of draw most of the time. It is really important to get to 8+ mana asap.

    2. Slavique August 21, 2017

       Hardmulligan into wildgrow, blossom and innervate. Lich King is not a replacement for a black knight. It is not a reactive card and not efficient in current meta, especially in jade druid.

12. go face never minions August 16, 2017

    Was just recently playing this deck againts a priest. was all going well until he played shulking geist and utterly destroyed my late game idols. Lmao i guess theres a counter for everything right?

13. Horsearx August 17, 2017

    What is the purpose of Kun/Black knight/BGH in this deck? I lack those three, but I have enough dust to craft one, what should I craft, and what should I replace? I'm thinking of saving my dust for a gold Kun, cus I want a full gold druid collection oneday.

    1. ApeInDrapes August 18, 2017

       Purpose of Kun: Play Kun with 10 mana, refresh your crystals, then play ultimate infestation. This helps you avoid those awkard situations when you have 6/7 cards in hand and want to cast infestation, but are worried you will overdraw. It also lets you put a 7/7 on the board along with the 5/5 goul, which is also very powerful.

       Purpose of Black Knight: Kills the Lich King, Obsidian Statue, pretty much any big taunt minion. This is a big help against Eternal Servitude priest

       Purpose of BGH: Kills Y'shaarj, Lich King... pretty much anything big.

       Which to craft? I'd say the Black Knight. I think it will become very prominent in this meta. Unless you're planning on spending $1,000, I wouldn't try to craft an all gold druid. Kun rotates when the new expansion is released anyway.

       1. Horsearx August 19, 2017

          I tend to put about 50 bucks every month or two towards games, so I think I can afford to slowly craft each druid card gold. I love druid, and such a thing would make me very happy. I have already done the math of how much dust i'd need too, so I wont be getting over my head, as I know what I'm getting into. Also, I play a lot of Wild and goofy decks, so I don't mind it rotating.

          Thanks for the help tho! ill prob craft black knight and look for a replacement for BGH and Kun. if you want to suggest replacements, go ahead, I'm all ears :D

          1. jelledebei August 19, 2017

             I've replaced BGH and Kun with 2 naturalizes. Kun i think is just not all that necesary as you already have enough threats. 2 Naturalize fits the same role as BGH , but is a more flexible.

             If you are patient and wait for the right opportunity you can often mill some important cards/ combo pieces . Also really ups your chances in the Exodia Mage matchup, feels great to see their Reflection, Antonidas' or Aprentices dissapear and can make Frost Nova Doomsayer not a problem.

             In some matchups it is a dead draw and i realise that (although it is surprisingly not as terrible as you'd expect against aggro) , but considering the insane draw in your deck a possibly bad card in your matters less.

             1. Horsearx August 19, 2017

                Never thought about Naturalise, but against the meta that does sound fairly effective. Ill def consider that for a replacement! Thanks for the imput!

14. David Gilmour August 22, 2017

    I've been playing Jade Druid for the last couple of months, best I got was rank 8. Changed my deck for this one today and I'm stunned on how amazing it is. I don't know if I've been lucky on the few games I played, but It has counters for every situation. BGH, Plague, Black Knight, Ultimate Infestation. Simply amazing.
    I hope I can get better rank this season.

    Oh, I made one change only, changed Kun for one Mire Keeper for even faster ramping.

15. Fonx August 25, 2017

    Is Aya important in this deck?
    i just need that to complete =(
    any sugestion or maybe is better to try another version of druid like mid-range/token?

    1. Dylan August 26, 2017

       Yes, aya is a staple to this deck (and any jade deck for that matter, whether it be druid, shaman, or rogue). I don't think you'll have much success without her.
