[Hearthstone] Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Review 4 

Incoming Shaman Legendary: 4 mana 7/7. Whenever you overload, summon 1 Jade Golem per locked mana crystal.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just wait for the "reset opponents jade golem count" card.

RIP Mill decks, you were an archetype at one point, but not no more.

20:02

atleast *Jade* *Golem* cards aren't RNG.. Welcome to JadeGolemStone! Kappa

04:09 I'm calling it. You gonna regret that just like Fendral.

Golem Druid is going to join the group of Face Hunter and Midrange Shaman. The Broken Ones.

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.

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!

Am I the only one who HATES this Jade Golem mechanic? It might be not OP, but it is so boring.

blizzard made jade idol cause theyre tired of watching kripp play fatigue warrior

Said as soon as it was revealed, Jade Idol is the most broken card in years.

If only Warrior had Jade Idol...

Can 2 mana deal 2 damage, combo summon a jade golem be good? Shuriken!

5:47 most in-depth review :D

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."

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.

So what do Jade Golems have to do with Gadgetzan?

jade idol is fucking broken holy shit

Jade Idol+Fandral

Fandral+Jade Idol = Concede Kappa :3

4 weiveR naztegdaG fo steertS naeM [enotshtraeH]

I love the artwork for Devlove. It's amazing!

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)

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.

I LOVED the Jade Golem mechanic, it's the best one at fiting it's gang's classes

quack

when is this coming out? i cant hold my 1000 gold much longer

Doctor OverBoom. 4 Mana 7/7. Summons two Jade Golems. Warning: Golems may overload 1-4 for opponent on deathrattle.

I can see Jade Idol changing to "Summon a Jade Golem or shuffle 3 Jade Golems into your deck."

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!

The next expansion after this will be The rough passover at Booty Bay and it will have a jew golem focus

Since jade idol says shuffle copies, does that mean that cost reduction will make all copies cost 0?

Hozen healer + Auchenai/Enter the Shadow is a 6/8 mana 2/6 assassinate. I'll definitely be trying this out.

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.

Was there any mention of Jade Golem in this video?

Everyfin is Awesome will rotate out in 2017 so no next gen midrange Shaman

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)

I'm looking forward to jade mill druid with that reporter as well. looks like it's gonna be fun.

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.

devolve seems like its going to shut down zoo decks... changing all those 1 drops to 0 or 2 to 1s would be big

Take a drink every time Kripp says mental

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.

Fandral behind a wall of taunting Jade Golems with Jade Idol endlessly generating value. VALUE!

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?

Hozen Healers will be great in priest. You can use it with healing = damage cards/minions as hard removal.

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*.

Props to Hearthstone for finally giving us loops like Magic.

devolve is ment to counter jade golem spam by turning them into 0 cost extremely powerful card in a jade golem meta.

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 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.

Jade Idol is going to ruin a lot of tavern brawl

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 ;)

I'm so hyped to see massive jade golems ,the decks that combo golems will be sick.

fight promoter can also be combo'ed with itself if you have hand buffing cards

Mass Dispell is looking preeeeeeeetty good

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).

Call in the finishers -> totem -> see if they survive enemy turn -> play bloodlust

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.

what about Daring Reporter in mill decks?

Last time I was this early Kripp was still making WOW tutorials

The jade idol mill deck mirrors are going to be very interesting ^^.

wtf??? is that Jade Idol real?? that is gonna break the game!!!

Hey Kripp, why do you sound high when you're in slow motion?

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 .

When i see an add on kripps videos for a game i just say wow

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

Why didn't they just add the monk class? All these jade cards could have easily been a new class.

I can't wait for Best of Devolve highlights!

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.

Welp mill druid is going to be a thing now, not sure i feel about that.

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.

jade idol might make a value druid deck with tons of removal and draw , and well jade idols. if it comes with alot of healing it has that dreadsteed effect but even better

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

Jade idol should not exist.... wtf blizzard

things i like; women, beer and kripp

I can't wait to get my hands on jade golem Druid with Fandral!!! Kinda surprised he didn't talk about that sinergy.

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

jade idol is going to ruin the entire game

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".

Can't wait to hear his opinion on White Eyes

Call in the finishers will be run in everyfin decks once the aggro cards rotate out, you're funny Kripp.

What the fuck is the deal with jade idol? Holy shit.

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?

I can't wait to see Kripp's face when he see the new shaman legendary xD

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 !

Poll: Which Faction is your favorite? www.strawpoll.me/11681216/

devolve severely overrated

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.

11:48 Remember guys: 4 + 7 - 4 = 0. Damn solid math here.

Hey Krip really want to know, on "Fight Promoter" where if you have a minion with over 6 health it draws 2 cards, IF i have it in a Grimy Goons deck and buff it with the in hand buff effects and play it WILL the battle cry trigger by Fight Promoter itself being over 6 health?

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.

In the Priest vs. Druid matchup with Jade Idol, it would be quite common to at some point steal a Jade Idol making it so the game would go on forever.

I do not play hearthstone, but looking at this if they pull of the Jade Goldems correctly, so it is not over powerwed, Jade Idol can be an amazing card to a new start to the game. Creating decks that completely deny fatigue and can cause play styles such as "tanks" to come up where people just play taunts and wait it out for the end to the point where they always have card and the enemy does not.
