Hi everyone, I've just achieved top100 on EU with my invention: MechaZoolock! I'm playing only this deck since i got to legend at 7th day of season. I made 44-22 with that so I thought about sharing my deck with you.
EDIT. After nerfs this deck might shine again, because there will be less otk paladins, but probably the deck will have to be redesigned to counter oddpaladins (add despacito and/or mossy for something)
And May the SMOrc be with you!
M U L L I G A N
Vs Druid:
Does this class exist? xd
Vs Hunter:
U really want voidwalkers to counter their candleshot, all 1drops are good (keep lumi only if u have mecharoo) keleseth is also good but don't roll for him! (im 14-3 against them so its incredibly good class to play against)
Vs Mage:
There are mostly control archetypes so u have to rush them down before their big aoes. Keleseth is good, but rolling for him is bad if u have some 1drops. Focus on getting perfect curve (2onedrops with coin in turn1 and keleseth or again 2 1drops in turn2 are perfect). I think its 55/45
Vs Paladins:
There are 3good different paladin archetypes, so just mulligan against fastest deck: oddpaladin. Try to roll for bronzegatekeeper and voidwalker, but all 1drops are also acceptable (oddpala matchup is almost impossible to win, otk is hard too, but even pala is not bad)
Vs Priest:
Try to value him, mulligan for keleseth. Trade his radiants, and play around spirit lash, explodinator and grim rally are good even if he scream it. Control priest is easier than gallery because duskbreaker hurt u less than spirit lash (heal is cheat)
Vs Rogue:
There is mostly odd rogue in the meta, hard matchup, but its winnable. Mulligan for keleseth, to get your minions out of upgraded dagger range and voidwalker. If not, go for other 1drops against flame imp, its bad if u dont have voidwalker
Vs Shaman:
I played only 1game with shaman, and it was even, so its hard for me to give u an advice how to play against it. Try to roll the fastest hand possible, more 1drops on hand - better
Vs Warlock:
There are only slow warlocks in the meta so u need to outvalue them. Playing around defile is essential, so throw mecharoo from mulligan, roll for keleseth. 3drops are good if u have 1 drop
Vs Warrior:
Suprisingly odd warrior is good matchup. Try to outvalue him with keleseth, so roll for him. Explodinator and grim rally are very good midgame play.

Playstyle:
U don't want to trade too much except game winning minions like Houndmaster Shaw or Tundra Rhino and against decks with boardbuffs (like even shaman or oddpaladin). I also recommend to play around fungalmancer, but it's end of trading - your opponent want to this most of the time.
Don't be scared to use Grim Rally on 3minions to get 2buffed in aggro matchup. Against control try to use it on explodinators bomb
Replacements:
Nightmare Amalgam - u can use Harvest Golem or/and Sea Giant if u see a lot of warriors or boardcentric decks (e.x. oddpaladin or evenshaman)
Prince Keleseth - irreplaceable
The Soularium - if u don't want to play soularium or u don't have it, i recommend u to play version with Sea Giant and Doubling Imp. Eventually u can simply replace it with Doomguard, but dont think it will be very good. I prefer something like that;
cut: -1the SoularIum -1void ripper -1Nightmare amalgam -1bronze gatekeeper
add: +2dobling imp +2sea giant

Sry for language of arcane tracker (the only availble phone hstracker), i can't change it for some reason xd
It says opponent/played/wins/loses/winrate

Tommy Wave has recorded a pretty nice video while playing this deck, check it out:
coming back here bc i tried your precise to climb and damn it's awesome. So many finishers. Really good vs odd mage which i would have never said and generally you feel like every match-up is winnable. Do you think you will update the list since you said it in the edit?
1 - 5 not going to try this anymore....
What decks did u meet? The only terrible matchups are oddrogue and oddpaladin, if u meet them a lot, u should try to rebuild this deck or change it. In other case u probably made some missplays or had terrible draws
2 odd paladins, odd warior, cube hunter and dragon priest. 1 win vs odd mage . 3 times I felt like I am drawing really really bad....
I wanted to try this deck out because I went from 20 to rank 5 only by playing zoo. I mostly play warlock (zoo, mechathun) so Im familiar with warlock in general and I wanted to try something fresh in aggro lock.... well it might work for someone else, but it didn't work for me
Impressive deck ... 11-2 to rank 3
Looks like a great deck ! Haven't played yet, but I want to test it as soon as I can. Also, polscy gracze są najlepsi ! xD
Dzieki mordo!
yeah that's the point. You can kill your own minions that spawn new minions (see Replicating Menace and Mecharoo). also you can trade and then use Shriek to clear the board. It's generally a good tool if you fall behind tempo or if you can buff your spawned 1-1 after clearing the board!
I got a 7-0 strike with this deck ... HSreplay staistics is not (yet) changed, but the trend is booming ...
I am currently playing the version with sea giants, added Shriek for one Soulfire and it works out pretty well against odd pala and aggro in general! Awesome deck, not currently using it for climbing but just to have a lot of fun
It's pretty strange tech since u kill your own minions, and it works only against this pala. If u really want to counter oddpaladins i recommend u a Despicable Dreadlord
I like Zoolock; in November I reached Legends with Zoolock (healing version), since then the deck become very week (partially due to nerf, partially due to Hunters rise)
Now I tried this version, very few games played, but it seems good. Strange enough HSReplay gives only 50% win rate, probably due to low number of games ... should be better ... we will see in a few days
Holy crap! It is really on hsreplay! Maybe it has only 49%wr because its not that easy to play like regular zoolock. When i played 70games with it on 4-16.01 it had 57%wr xd
yeah dude that is often the case with lesser known decks or decks that are harder to play. the win rate can get dragged down. also the sample size is probably quite slow.
Been playing a little bit of mech-lock, it's a canny deck.
how cool is nightmare amalgam as well? I love how you can use it in decks like this and it has both mech and demon synergy. I was thinking of adding it to a pirate deck with a few mechs in, it's just you're spoiled for choice in wild so it's hard to fit it in.
I may try and make the deck in standard though.
I'm always surprised when I don't see amalgam being played as it has the potential to woven into so many synergies.
In standandard warlock doesn't have good tribe synergy cards. The exception is Demonfire, but Prince Keleseth is more important. U can try version without him, but i thonk it will be a littlebit worse
yeah I would make it in wild. this seems optimal for standard already. it's a great deck.
Maybe u were trading too much with them, and were too greedy with finding keleseth in mulligan? I think a lot of people does these mistakes with my deck (and overall with zoolock) Main clue: trade as little as possible, don't even watch on their spellstone, just SMOrc them down!
I keep on rank 2~1, probably played a hundred matches. I played about all ways possible, believe me. I love your deck, congrats! At this time I think that I just need an hour of lucky to get my legend.
Since you post I'm playing with your deck and have good results, rank 5-1 and probably I will hit the legend using this magical and beautiful list!!
My only one problem is those hunters.... like 90% of this matchs I lose, and you say for you was easy beat him, to me is the only one problem.
I play since 2015 (not all this time), but by the first time I think I will hit the legend thanks to you!! Just this hunters leave me alone and I will get it for sure
