(Wild) Jade Druid - Rise of Shadows - #1 Legend (zhefan_yan)
Oh, I also noticed your variant does not run a copy of (5) Starfall at the time of this writing — that’s something that makes a lot of sense to me. Though it can be combo’d with (4) Poison Seeds in the late game, it just doesn’t seem like a good enough card in terms of its cost so I wondered why I saw so many lists include it.
I suppose it could also be good with Vargoth on turn 5 or in the late game with the board wipe option Not a bad inclusion by any means, but I do have to wonder if there are better cards to include than Starfall.

I understand the (4) Oaken Summons into (4) Vargoth or (4) Hecklebot is powerful, but isn’t cutting (4) Jade Spirit removing something that I’d expect to be pretty “core” to the list?
(4) Hecklebot can backfire horribly if you end up drawing it rather than cheating it out via Oaken Summons has been my experience.
Perhaps (4) Bone Wraith or (4) Ironwood Golem could also be considered for the slot.
In any case, if a player did end up cutting the (4) Oaken Summons combo, you could include (4) Jade Spirit and perhaps (2) Wrath or some other techs like (5) Loatheb or (3) Gluttonous Ooze or even (5) Zilliax.
Anyway, I could be totally wrong — if the list reached wild legend, than that’s awesome, I just feel apprehensive about removing (4) Jade Spirit. Perhaps then (3) Brann Bronzebeard might be worth considering.
Honestly you’re right — Secret Galakrond Rogue is #1 in my estimation and it’s not even close. Stats are a bit skewed because DH is way cheaper to build.
