Zeddy thank you for all that you do. This has nothing to do with your card reveals which are awesome. I’ve been struggling to make legend for a long long time. And a couple of weeks ago you posted a video on ladder anxiety. Well I took your advice and your sludge warlock deck to legend for the first time today, the last day of the month (thank you leap year). You really do provide practical and entertaining advice about hearthstone. Please don’t quit.
It being an epic, I suppose they won't make cards that specifically list them, Volatile Skeleton is a common, for example. They could give indirect support of course.
as a wild player i instantly thought about playing ensmallen together with embiggen... i mean +2/+4 same cost sounds nice in theory... but it probably wont be a significant change... on the other hand playing 2x ensmallen for cards that you want to use for their effects instead of attack stat this is a very nice card... i think i might resurrect my mill druid deck with this as a way to cheapen stuff and thus being able to make even more broken combos...
The first combo you mentioned has also the slight problem being... Ensmallen is a 3 Mana "do nothing" when played. Embiggen is 0. Seems a problem in high rank Wild.
If you trigger the deathrattle through Hedge Maze or Spiritsingrr Umbra, the minion on board will get the buff. Not to mention that it being an aura of “this game” means that even Silencing the Jade Display that was already triggered would keep its stats.
There's literally only 5 meaningful ways to interact with Jade Display in Standard when the expansion launches: Deafen (silences), Amanthul, Sargeras, Reno hero card and the new Core card Flik Skyshiv. Everyone that isn't Rogue, Priest, Warlock or Highlander will have to rely on freezes, sap and return to deck effects (bird excavate reward, new King Crush) and removal after removal
So my own thoughts... Ensmallen will be in the pool for Nagalings, giving even more discount potential. Jade Display, while slower than Jade Idol, also allows the decks that decide to run displays from getting sniped by Geist.
@@Benjy52Pip and Jepetto are 2 completely different cards though. Pip copies what is actually in your hand, so active enchantments still apply. Jepetto gives copies of stuff you've already played. So it's a question of if he looks at the stats when you play a card, or if he looks at the base stats of cards you've played.
@@tarille1043 Ensmallen reduces the card cost to 1 in the deck, as stated in the text. So yes, jepetto will work. You can use Embiggen currently, then the lovechild druid card (the one that draws a minion that costs (5) or more) to test this as well.
@@Benjy52Jepetto copies minions you've PLAYED. Also, it's cost is irrelevant since Jepetto is based around ATTACK or HEALTH of the minion being 1. Lovechild is again, irrelevant since Jepetto is minions you've PLAYED. Not in the deck.
Wind Up Sapling will probably be fine, I think. Upgrades When Traded has not been a particularly strong or consistent mechanic the few times we've seen it before
oh man, wind-up sapling is gonna be in EVERY druid deck. i really missed these trade to upgrade cards. nice to see some of them returning. and when it will be combo'd with eonar i won't feel nearly as bad because they'll have to trade it a bunch of times. i'm all for powerful synergies that take time to build up. such a better play pattern for the game than those scam cards like pre nerfed shattered reflections
Honestly, I feel like the wind-up sapling is mana cheat done right. Big druid combos are a problem when they are too easy and happen very early into the game. This is luck dependant and acts more as a mana bank where to regain all the mana you spent trading it. It's potentially insane but very late-game only. Strong, but fair.
Ensmallen is a scary card, reminds me of Incanters Flow. Yes it is not 2 mana like it was, but the removing of attack is not relevant. Ensmallen is a COMBO piece, and Zeddy is right in saying that the mana cheat can go out of control quick. Four stars imo.
Ensmallen is actually absurd, a mana reduction on every minion in your deck on curve in a class that can draw cards as easily as Druid is pretty silly. 1 attack as a trade-off is almost a joke lmao.
So warrior gets 3 cards that together reliably can OTK pretty much anyone on turn 10 + a bunch of other support cards that synergize with them, and then druid gets Walmart discount bargain bin Jade idol, a completely worthless mana cheat card to "replace" Nourish, and a meme 3 mana card that does nothing. Very cool.
this jade is very strong with the cost reduction card used once it will be 0/0 but with the +1+1 buff to its ability it will become mega strong for free this will be nerfed very quickly, it's crazy
Ensmallen on Malygos anyone? Or on Aviana in wild... Oh boy... It actually would work with both of the mass mana cheat card options druid has in Wild and reenable their combos once more.
@@locogato3488possibly, but the fact that it's a single card that can immediately activate the combo alongside the ramp feels like it might offer an alternative to Guff. Being able to run 2 of them in the deck might make things more reliable if you used a tutor to pull the combo pieces rather than simply relying on raw draw power... but yeah, Guff is going to be hard to beat there.
Seems to me Jade Display combines Jade Idol with a deathrattle version of Astral Automaton... did they forget how degenerate Jade Druid used to be back in the day?
@@InternetGravediggerexcept this new card is incredibly slow and obviously isn’t apart of bigger package around resummoning jades. It’s just a reference/weird option for hedgemaze decks to piss around with for a week before getting back to actual strategies. Completely harmless.
Think you're mental for calling wind-up sapling a 3/5 in standard. its barely even considered mana cheat. still costs a mana to trade it, so more of a mana bank on a shitty body
Jade Display is a reverse powercreep of Jade Idol.
reverse powercreep..............
How is it reverse powercreep when there are so many deathrattle synergies?
@@alihordaspells are way better. You could do gadgetzan auctioneer with Jade idol and get a bunch of jades
@@alihordaidk about you but most death rattle synergies are going to rotate soon and this looks horrendous in wild
@@Riwul I can imagine the horrors in wild
this turn i'll summon a not so large man, and maybe in two turns i'll summon another not so large man

Sludge warlock solitaire took you to legend? Who is surprised
@sheildingepicness indeed everyone knew warlock was busted
Jade Display is an exact copy of Clique Peas from Plants vs Zombies Heroes. There are a lot of Plants vs Zombies Heroes cards in this expansion.
I will play even SMALLER and SMALLER MAN.
Problem with rating Jade Display is that we don't currently know if there is going to be more of them. The star rating should be held until known.
Agreed, but even then, a death rattle druid deck would be good.
@@TheKillerman3333 most deathrattle stuff is rotating for druid
It being an epic, I suppose they won't make cards that specifically list them, Volatile Skeleton is a common, for example. They could give indirect support of course.
@@Tatercon in standard, true, in wild, there is still a chance
Jade display is like a demo version of Jade idol 😂.
Me: "Mom can I get Jade Idol?"
Mom: "We have Jade Idol at home..."
Jade Idol at home: Jade Display
as a wild player i instantly thought about playing ensmallen together with embiggen... i mean +2/+4 same cost sounds nice in theory... but it probably wont be a significant change...

Jade display with Jepetto might actually see some play. I can see it as like a tier 3 deck!
If you trigger the deathrattle through Hedge Maze or Spiritsingrr Umbra, the minion on board will get the buff. Not to mention that it being an aura of “this game” means that even Silencing the Jade Display that was already triggered would keep its stats.
I feel like Ensmallen would work pretty well with Oracle of Elune in wild.
Just like Embiggen
Definitive time for solar eclipse to cease to exist

This set even if it’s awful the nostalgia is gonna make me absolutely love every second of it
wind up sapling is pretty good with out the upgrade part as well. its basically "0 mana shuffle this in your deck and draw a card" at the base level.
I wonder if Ensmallen will work with Jepetto? Like, if you reduce a minion's attack to 1 and play it will you get a copy of it from Jepetto?
He will most likely count the original stats, but still we can't know for sure yet.
You’re correct tarille. You will get a copy from Jepetto. You can test this by discounting and then using Pip the Potent.
@@Benjy52Pip and Jepetto are 2 completely different cards though.

Ensmallen is a pretty good discover in Sif mage
I hope i Discover it a lot on My romath deck
Just realized it was a Nature spell after you said this. Oh boy, that's going to be obnoxious.
So with 4 cards in wild you can get +2/+4 on all minions without changing their cost? Neat
Still, draw 4 particular cards, and I don't think druid has spell tutor
From a wild perspective, Ensmallen was probably a mistake to print.
I'm waiting for it to get a wild but not standard ban in an upcoming patch.
Jade display is the problem with trying to mimic an effect rather than just using the same effect
Honestly, I feel like the wind-up sapling is mana cheat done right. Big druid combos are a problem when they are too easy and happen very early into the game. This is luck dependant and acts more as a mana bank where to regain all the mana you spent trading it. It's potentially insane but very late-game only. Strong, but fair.
I'll agree with that
You can try to haste a win if you see your druid oponent trading it often
Jades only worked because there were so many cards that made them. 2/30 is nowhere near consistent enough to see play.
Ensmallen is a scary card, reminds me of Incanters Flow. Yes it is not 2 mana like it was, but the removing of attack is not relevant. Ensmallen is a COMBO piece, and Zeddy is right in saying that the mana cheat can go out of control quick. Four stars imo.
Okay Wind-Up Saplings combo abilities are sending chills down my spine :D
Rating 3 in standard and 2 in Wild seems to be your comfort pick. The only other rating I hear from you is a "5" when a card is bah-roh-ken.
Why is wind up sapling tribe q mech or treant??
Wouldn’t jade display’s cost 0 with ensmallen?
Ensmallen is actually absurd, a mana reduction on every minion in your deck on curve in a class that can draw cards as easily as Druid is pretty silly. 1 attack as a trade-off is almost a joke lmao.
I literally just made a new jade deck because I missed them. What are the odds :o
Rogue's Flik Skyshiv looks pretty juicy for this next expansion 👀
Can’t believe Druid doesn’t seem like it’s gonna be bonkers for once
To shuffle AN EVEN LARGER MAN which shuffles AN EVEN LARGER LARGER MAN
So warrior gets 3 cards that together reliably can OTK pretty much anyone on turn 10 + a bunch of other support cards that synergize with them, and then druid gets Walmart discount bargain bin Jade idol, a completely worthless mana cheat card to "replace" Nourish, and a meme 3 mana card that does nothing.

Ensmallen might just fit in post rotation Reno druid
Ensmallen looks awesome
this jade is very strong with the cost reduction card used once it will be 0/0 but with the +1+1 buff to its ability it will become mega strong for free this will be nerfed very quickly, it's crazy

Oh boy... It actually would work with both of the mass mana cheat card options druid has in Wild and reenable their combos once more.
I feel like this won't even see play in Wild, with Guff and all the other ramp Druid has this feels slow.
Malygos is Wild aswell, only the new Malygos is standard... which you can use on him but it's whatever...
@@locogato3488possibly, but the fact that it's a single card that can immediately activate the combo alongside the ramp feels like it might offer an alternative to Guff.

Jade Display: Will the upgraded versions have different artwork as they progress just like 'jade golem' tokens ???
No, unlike Jade Golems that were 30 separate tokens, this just gets +1/+1 enchantments.
I guess I now have two left hands cause I loved Jade Druid back in the day
Zeddy, your videos are amazing. Love your quick updates
All these new Druid cards need Dew Process, and I think/hope that's rotating.
Jade display is going to get more support probably.
Yooo! These Druid cards look craaaazy
As a huge embiggen fan boy I appreciate the call back
god forbid Druid not spending 23923882392389 mana in a single turn
“2am my time” same here
I liked jade back in the day hope this plays nice in the expansion!
Jade Display + Unending Swarm?
It’s rotating
@@willewald7633 Yeah, but imagine if it wasn’t. Could be a Mark strat.
I will then summon a large man who will allows me to summon an EVEN LARGER MAN
Thanks for the update
I dislike jade druid and well druid in general, but this doesn't seem nearly as toxic as the "jade" stuff we had before.
Im looking forward to the new warlock cards ,who knows🤔
'Well this turn ill summon a larger and larger man, which will later on allow me to summon an even larger man' 🤓
I dont think any of these trade to upgrade cards will be successful. To much delayed reward for invested mana.
Ensmallen seems pretty damn good
Awe man i was so hyped for Jade to return but thats a shame
Can already see Ensmallen being nerfed, calling it now.
I would love a prebundle yay
Jade display is an agro card
Time to run silence on every deck now lol
YES! BIG GREEN MAN AGAIN!
Ensmallen seems crazy lmao
Ensmallen is a perfectly cromulent card.
What jade Druid should of been
I always had fun with jade's
100 bucks Druid breaks a format next meta
Why am I awake for this?
its 5am in here lol
I always like your bloody video to hell with your give away 😅😊hahaahha
This is sick
Jade comes back!!
Jade Snake Oil
5 am bro?
Ensmallen will be OP. Might get banned.
just here for mega bundle
I’m sorry WHAT?!?!?
Seems to me Jade Display combines Jade Idol with a deathrattle version of Astral Automaton... did they forget how degenerate Jade Druid used to be back in the day?
I want to steal them jade displays to use hahaha 🤣
I mean people say that even tho Druid went on to have even more toxic archetypes than jade druid ever was.
@@vinnythewebsurfer Not saying there weren't other toxic archetypes, just that they appear to be bringing this one back.

I have to wait on till March to here about rogue, mage, and Death knight. BS.
Wind-up cards look slow.
Honestly I think Wind-Up Sapling will be in the "top" three worst cards of the expansion
Oh god ensmallen deathrattle druid
“Broken, gross interactions” so just another day :)
The jade displays are terrible, at least give them rush? I dont know, they seem terrible
Anyone else watching this in March?
Warrior: 2 Mana, Gain 6 Armor. Druid: 1 Mana, Summon 15/15, get two more.
Think you're mental for calling wind-up sapling a 3/5 in standard. its barely even considered mana cheat. still costs a mana to trade it, so more of a mana bank on a shitty body
druid idol!
More Jade printing, surely this won't become a horrible thing to fight against right?
ensmallen broken, blizzard once again has learned nothing
These cards seem pretty bad, I don't think they want druid being good this expansion haha.
Ensmallen will brake the game
These cards are all mid and that's good because we don't need more broken cards
Why they ruin Hs with stupid jades in my opinion only problem of second twist expansion was jades jade rouge
It is 5 am
just go broke already
first
