I’m playing this list right now. Against secret mage and murloc paladin I was losing aniways, so I just cut the 2x Doomsayer to play 2x Faceless, 1x Spellbreaker and 1x Reveler to win the mirror and to have extra power against other control decks (when you have the coin and you can do T4 skull or lackey, faceless manipulator is actually stronger than carnivourous cube and you need it in the mirror).

You can’t play Harrison because you risk to overdraw every time. You can play it in control n’zoth mage and in control jade shaman because they don’t have powerful draws. One of the the ooze works fine, but 1x Spellbreaker is probably better.

This list is awful, you absolutely need N’Zoth as a second board refill, both against control and aggro (against aggro when you don’t have Gul’dan, N’zoth does the same work). 1x Sanguine Reveler works well, just like a third dark pact (when you are > 20 health it is better actually). 2x Faceless Manipulator has shown to be too much (you already have Taldaram, which is better because it costs just 3 mana). The following IMO should be the standard decklist.

Let’s discuss about 2x Doomsayer vs 2x Mortal Coil vs 1x of both… I have seen for example that with 2x Mortal Coil you lose the mirror because of fatigue disadvantage.

Conclusion -> Kun is better than Medivh (if you don’t wanna play both replacing 1x Arcane Tyrant or 1x Wrath)

Medivh vs Kun

Costs 8 mana -> Kun is free
You can’t attack with your hero in those turns of Atiesh -> with Kun you can
You can’t play your spell (especially cheap spell to dump your hand for UI draw) in the optimal order -> with Kun you’re free
Atiesh is vulnerable to Harrison Jones / Ooze -> Kun is not

Pros think with their own heads. They played JD because 1) it had a good matchup against HLP 2) it was a strong deck overall. The first condition went off, period. I’d never play JD in a meta full of Cube, Murloc, Secret Mage and Spiteful Priest (see the matchups section on hsreplay last 3 days). The general winrate went up probably because people tried fringe decks the first days of the patch.

I don’t quite understand what you said about silence vs destroy weapon. Silence does nothing to Kun and we were talking about Medivh vs Kun.

HSreplay says that Jade loses:
1- against cubelock
2- against zoolock (the matchup is worse against the classic non-keleseth buff variant)
3- against control lock
4- against spiteful priest
5- against murloc paladin
6- against spiteful druid
7- against aggro druid

Against mage is always 45:55.

Conclusion -> without Highlander Priest you have the same old bad matchups but with zero favourable matchup -> Jade is not a competitive deck anymore.

Firstly, the deck died alongside Highlander Priest; it’s not a tier 1 deck anymore (it was tier 1 from rank 5 to higher legend ranks because of the favourable matchup against HLP).

Secondly, now is the worst time to play Medivh over Kun (the amount of Harrison Jones / Ooze increased dramatically after the patch).

With Kun you can play just 1x Arcane Tyrant (they are there mainly to avoid UI overdraw).

How’s it possible that with the nerf Vicious Fledgling became better than Crypt Lord as a 3 mana drop?

I like the 1x Branching Paths but maybe 1x Soul of the forest is better against AOE clears.

I will try a list with 2x Crypt Lord + 2x Branching Paths.

Jeweled Macaw is better than Tracking in Face Hunter; without Patches it will be stronger than ever.

There’s no reason to play 2x Rhino over 1x Leeroy without 0 mana 5/5 Corridor Creeper.

I prefer Vicious Fledgling over Bearshark as a 3-mana drop.

Murloc paladin seems to be the top tier 1 deck; i’d play for sure 2x Hungry Crab.

I will try the choice not to play Candleshot. It seems pretty bad without 2x Ss Deckhand.

2x Hounds are clunky in some matchups, 1x is the right way to play it (even with Scavenging Hyena).

Jeweled Macaw is better than Tracking in Face Hunter (without Patches it will be stronger than ever).

You need at least 1x Candleshot (taking into consideration the absence of Deckhand) to gain tempo in the early turns.

I prefer Vicious Fledgling over Bearshark as a 3-mana drop.

Where’s Leeroy? There’s no reason to play Rhino over Leeroy without 0 mana 5/5 Corridor Creeper.
