For a more traditional take on jade druid, I suggest taking a list from here:

Looks good to me, thanks

(I also have most of those cards, hurray)

[Draynth]

Uhh

Hit 2 again last night after falling down from there previously. Tonight begins the final push for legend for the season.

[Thestatusquo]

I'm thinking of teching in another card for aggro/the 8/8 dude that I've been seeing a lot. Maybe a naturalize, maybe a feral rage. I'm not sure yet. I've been very happy with the SF tech choice so far.

BGH and MCT?

[Thestatusquo]

I had MCT in for a while. It was pretty terrible. About 1/10 of the time you played it it just won the game, but like 1/2 the time it was completely meaningless.

BGH is just too bad of a card to play imo.

[BROseidon]

BGH too slow against aggro. It tempos the 8/8 hard but is otherwise super dead

[DeathNote]

Drafted a sweet paladin deck but only went 4 wins because I lost 3 in a row to other sweet paladin decks.

Formats great.

Only thing I hate about Arena is how much of it is decided by randomness. Like get a random card type stuff.

I get the weirdest card choices...

Meow! Finished top 100 legend (51) for the first time yesterday! I peaked at 25 then lost a couple and decided to coast it out.
Been playing Jade druid - after everyone started playing rogue and priest I took out a spreading plague for a golakka crawler (actually more useful than plague v priest anyway) because plague isn't as impressive a speed bump against rogues (high power minions) as it is against other classes.
# 2x (1) Jade Idol
# 1x (2) Golakka Crawler
# 2x (2) Wild Growth
# 2x (2) Wrath
# 2x (3) Jade Blossom
# 1x (3) Tar Creeper
# 1x (4) Fandral Staghelm
# 2x (4) Jade Spirit
# 2x (4) Mire Keeper
# 1x (4) Spellbreaker
# 2x (4) Swipe
# 2x (5) Nourish
# 1x (6) Aya Blackpaw
# 2x (6) Jade Behemoth
# 1x (6) Spreading Plague
# 1x (7) Malfurion the Pestilent
# 1x (8) Primordial Drake
# 1x (8) The Lich King
# 1x (10) Kun the Forgotten King
# 2x (10) Ultimate Infestation

Spreading plague is still really good and will go back to being a 2 of if the meta diversifies a bit.
I had a really high winrate against the razakus priest decks. I think I was playing the matchup well (either kill them before combo or assemble an unbeatable board the turn after anduin comes down).
For a while I tried dirty rat and it was not bad (killed some velens and ruined a couple quest mages' days) but overall I like tar creeper better when everything is rogues.
My worst matchup was against other druids. The non-jade ramp druids were very hard to deal with and Medivh seems extremely good in the mirror (against priest too!) but I don't have him.
Not sure I could afford him against aggro anyway.

congrats llamarble!

[Llamarble]

So this month I am trying to learn big priest since if I wanna try a tournament etc.
I have lived the dream and turn 4 barnesed out a y'shaarj who pulls yshaarj and then t5 eternal servitude yshaarj and the yshaarjs pull ysera and lich king
I have also played barnes and had him fetch a 1/1... barnes.......

What list are you working with?

[Errantparabola]

had 3200 dust, crafted patches and have been having a lot of fun with oil rogue.
with remaining 1600 would like advice.

Current thoughts, in order of preference:
1) Every Epic/Rare I still need for Big Priest (I don't have Yshaarj or Ysera)
2) Tarim
3) Lyra
4) Tirion
5) Anduin DK
6) Jaina DK
7) Aya

edit: more context for these--

I'm playing some jank form of Big Priest that sucks. With all of the Epics and Rares I would only need to replace Yshaarj and Ysera.
Tarim would mean I can play some form of Recruit/Fast Paladin.
Lyra would mean I can play Combo Priest.
Tirion is a legendary that has singlehandedly prevented me from playing Paladin for 2 years.
Anduin DK I can toss in Big Priest or something, but I don't have Raza.
Jaina DK can make Reno Mage better (I don't have Pyros) and I can try some Ele Mage maybe.
Aya, for Jades.

[DeathNote]

I'm just baffled by how I can go 9 wins easy with a medicore priest deck in arena but then go 0-3 with a badass paladin deck.

Variance?

[vonflare]

no it must be the universe conspiring to confuse him

[DeathNote]

No it's totally variance but holy shit if it doesn't piss me off how much variance Hearthstone has. Most random freaking game.

[Thestatusquo]

I think magic has a lot more variance than hs.

[vonflare]

remember when yogg was in the meta?

[Thestatusquo]

That doesn't matter. In magic the resource system is based on variance. That tops anything HS can do with individual cards.

[vonflare]

magic and hearthstone are both bad!variance, in different ways
