Slighty Worried about Earthen scales
Earthen scales
It seems to combo extremely well with jade druid. The main ways to beat jade druid is to curve out and flood the board enough that they can't deal with it, or just smorc the guy down fast enough.
With this card combined with Auctioneer and jade cards, this is essentially at the bare minimum a 1mana cycle a card and gain 5 armor, and that's the minimum. If you have any jades up it can easily get to 10ish armor for 1 mana and cycle a card.
Additionally the druid quest seems to combo decently with jade druid, in the way that they often don't have too many other turn 1 plays, and if you can drop the Auctioneer for free, the game is pretty much over. That may be too greedy though, but I'm almost positive that Earthen scales is gonna be amazing in the deck.

It remains to be seen whether quest + jade is good (yes, no good turn 1 plays besides jade idol, but no - missing 1 card can really hurt you).
The game plan for beating Druid is probably still the same - either rush them down before they can outheal you, or create a board state they cannot answer and then bludgeon them to the death (Dragon Priest style). I would think that with Shaman seeming so powerful Quest Jade druid will simply be too slow (how does Druid come back from being 1 card down the entire game).
A tempo quest Druid might be something more realistic, but for now I would imagine that the two archetypes would stay separate.
I don't think that Jade will play it tbh. It looks more for ramp. By the time you're able to summon 5 5+ attacks in Jade Druid, you already won. Also 0 mana is always great but it's not like they really need it. Recover card would be 4 mana or even 1 mana now and there's no jade card that costs more than 6 in Druid. Cthun and Ramp Druid might make a comeback bc of giants though
Now onto shaman, damn It feels like another Dragon Priest. Elemental Shaman with only elementals sounds too good but we'll see.
