Think of it from a golden card collector’s point of view.
They have to suffer getting non-gold minions every day, whether it be by copy or token.

I think I just started to hate this game a little more.

Here we are 6 weeks later, and this deck is the subject of NO ONE’S discussion.

At best this is a tier 4 deck because of its weak response to board clears and no card draw.

THIS IS NOT A LEGEND DECK. IT IS A LIE. SPEND YOUR DUST ELSEWHERE.

The Czech team won a world tournament with it, you may wanna check it out.
That was 2 months ago however. Most don’t include him now.

I didn’t say it was bad, just bad for ladder heh.
And it’s not just weak to board clears, there’s no card draw either. That’s why.

Thank you! I’m really, truly happy for your feedback!

A fun aside, the last card I cut was Shifter Zeerus. He is pretty awesome with Small-Time Recruits, but swapping for a second Bonemare helped for more consistency and synergy.

If you like synergy decks, try checking out my Jade deck.
Yeah, I know, I know. You might be surprised 🙂

*crickets chirping*

Only if you like gaining a ton of life.

Also looked like he teched out 2 Innervates for Dirty Rat. You’ll wanna change that too.

Zalae said in his video that Mark of the Lotus became an essential addition to the essential 25 cards that Jade Druids need to run. In my opinion as well, he’s right!

The other 3 cards you can mix and match however you like.
This list has 2 Mind Control Techs and a Spellbreaker, but only for play at legend rank.

For regular ladder you’d want to play something else. I have a lot of fun with these 3 because of the synergy:
1x Mark of the Wild
1x Living Mana
1x Yogg

Don’t play Smuggler’s run until turn 3, and you’ll do better.

Update before the nerf? Thanks… I guess.

The first time Kibler’s Handbuff deck claimed to be legend last month, his Youtube channel showed him pushing, but never reaching it.

I’m sure if this new version played from 5 rank could be possible, but lower? Nah. Too weak against board clears.
Spikeridged Steed is a weak punishment. Skelemancer is a better alternative, and has buff synergy.

Over course, everyone has a different take on Handbuff. Mine can’t use Prince Kelseth because it has terrible synergy with Small-Time Recruits, but terrific using 2 Grimestreet Outfitters. This archetype can win against almost any deck, so it’s definitely worth checking out.

C’thun Warrior stopped being a thing after Bran cycled out. Even then, Doomcaller cannot be excluded if you want any hope of winning a control game.

Also, no Battle Rage? No cards for you then.

I suggest you make your own deck, and you’ll have more fun (and probably win more).

Skelemancers also counter a major weakness of handbuff: board clears.
Defender of Argus will also give you buffs + synergy 😉

Uther has little synergy with handbuffs.
Even his card takes up a slot in your hand where something could be buffed.

For synergy Servant of Kalimos would be OK, and give you another creature, possibly even Pyros

But you would also have change the deck to include more elementals.

Like you said, irreplacable in this list.

Strange choices.
A single Shiv over Razorpetal Lasher.
No SI:7 agents.
The idea of using single cards instead of 2 is good in Rogue, and 2 Questing Adventurers is an example of over-investment.
Better choices definitely can be made here.

Awful.

Finally a reason to use Finders Keepers!

Well Frodan didn’t, but you should.

Servant of Kalimos is greedy and unreliable.
Take one out and put in a Jade Chieftain which is also not easy to have 2 of.
