Hey guys, I'm back once again with another deck guide. This time around, this a zoolock list that Ender used to get rank 3 legend a couple of days ago. This deck is really good against aggro decks and cubelocks and can also beat highlander if played correctly.
If you are facing a lot of aggro and priests and are struggling against them, then I'd recommend cutting 2x spellbreaker for 2x crystalweaver. I recently got Legend with the same list on Asia from rank 2, 2 stars, with the same list, except I cut 2x spellbreaker for 2x crystalweaver. I had a record of 12 wins and 3 losses to legend, which is a winrate of 80%. I'm currently 19 wins and 4 losses into the dumpsters of legend on Asia, with a winrate of 83%.
If you guys are interested in the deck and are not sure on some plays, I will write a guide. In the meantime, feel free to ask away in the comments section and please upvote the deck if you liked it as it helps a lot.

If your facing a particular deck and are looking for decks that counter it, you can try some of my other decks that do well against them.

DECK GUIDE:
Sorry to keep you guys waiting for a week, I had been really ill in at the hospital. But I'm back and I've managed to write the deck guide!
Card replacements:
-2x Malcheezar's Imp: +2x Firefly
Pirate package(-1x Patches the Pirate, -2x Southsea Captain): +2x Bloodflury Potion and +1x Acherus Veteran.
If you want to replace Prince Keleseth you'd have to replace a lot of the other cards that are played to improve your curve and make use of Keleseth's battlecry effect. To begin with, you'd want to cut 2x glacial shards because there is no point in playing them if you're gonna run 2 drops. Other cards that you want to cut are 2x Saronite Chaingang, 2x Darkshire Councilman and 2x Spellbreaker. Now that you have 9 open slots, add 2x Demonfire, 2x Bloodflury Potion, 2x Vulgar Homunculus, 2x Crystalweaver and Bloodreaver Gul'dan. If you don't have Bloodreaver Gul'dan, you can replace it with either a Spellbreaker or a Cobalt Scalebane, depending on how many Warlocks you encounter on ladder.
Mulligans:
Always keep: Keleseth, Flame imp, Corridor Creeper and, with coin, Darkshire councilman and Southsea Captain. Keep 1 drops and Captain with Keleseth. Don't keep Darkshire with Keleseth.
Never keep: Patches the Pirate, Bonemare, Despicable Dreadlord, Doomguard and Soulfire.
Vs. Aggro(e.g. token druid, hunter, burn mage, aggro/murloc paladin, spiteful druid, spiteful priest, tempo rogue, token shaman, zoolock and pirate/spiteful warrior):
Keep Malchezaar's Imp, Voidwalker and Kobold Librarian, except vs rogues and mages. Only time you ever keep glacial shard is if it helps you curve out(e.g. coin keleseth + double 1 drop, 1 drop, coin councilman, glacial + librarian...)
Keep the ALWAYS KEEP cards.
VS. Control( Jade/Miracle/Big Druids, Control/Big Mage, Control Paladin, Highlander Priest, Mill/Miracle Rogues, Control Shaman, Cube/Control Warlocks and Control Warriors):
Follow Always and never keeps.
Keep kobold librarian, voidwalker, malchezaar's imp and Darkshire Councilman with coin.
Matchups:
Favored against: jade druid, hunter, aggro paladin, tempo rogue, pirate warrior, highlander priest and token shaman.
Unfavoured against: Cubelock and control warlocks.
50/50: Control mages.
Card choices:
Prince Keleseth: Gives you an insane advantage over your opponent if played early.
Saronite Chaingang: Really good with Keleseth.
Kobold Librarian: Life tap for 1 + 2/1 body is really powerful.
Darkshire Councilman: Really good 3 drops since you run a lot of 1 drops.
Pirate Package: 3 mana 3/3 summon 2/2 with charge from your deck is too OP.
Corridor Creeper: Just too broken.
Bonemare: Best 7 drop in the game.
Spellbreaker: Die Cubelock, DIE!!!
Glacial Shard: Really good in aggro mirrors and helps you curve out better without the 2 drops.

Seems interesting, will craft the 2nd creeper and southsea
Yo, wait until the 10.2 nerf. The Creeper goes from 5 dmg down to 2, and Patches will no longer have charge
I don't think Blizz will be giving back dust :/
You sir must not know how this game works then LUL
Yo, I did it. Anyways, this video features one match betweenzoolock and cubelock. I will consider potentially posting all of my games.
Just hit legend with this deck, I will make a video regarding it soon.
Is there a point in drafting this with the patches nerf coming up? serious question pls no flame
This deck isn't based off Patches. You could easily swap out the patches and the captains for other stuff.
Not sure why people are downvoting players who are hitting legend with this deck. I assume they are priest players who are one trick and cant play anything else. And due to the nerfs they are all mad.
GG get rekt one tricks go suck eggs.
Haha! Totaly agree! Razakus!....you're totaly fucked within a few days! Feelssogreatman!
Dude, they probably were saving a lot of time (or money) to play they favourite deck. And you just spit on them. Sad...
From 4 to legend in ~6 hours, thx very much
From 14 to 10 with 9 wins 1 lose.. Love the freeze tactics, nice and cheeky haha
Cheers for the quick climb
rank 5 to legend...4 hours...not bad not bad
one of the easiest legends i achieved . great deck
Just hit top 400 legend with this deck. With so many Zoo Locks on ladder double spellbreakers are mandatory. You have to get through Void Lords
First time legend with this bad boy, rank 5 all the way to Legend! Had 72% winrate!
This deck carried my ass so hard! from Rank 4 to Legend (first time!) with 62% wr
This deck is such a blast! I'm used to zoolocks being quite strong but then tempo decks became stronger and zoo kinda gave out. This deck actually brings the archetype quite nicely and It actually holds its ground quite nicely. I'm actually quite glad this was posted as it will help a lot of people climb the ladder!
I made a short video showcasing the deck in action which I hope you all enjoy of course
