Hi guys. Thought I'd share with everyone the deck I used to climb up to legend this season. The deck works off an older style zoo, and in the current meta it works quite well! I am yet to see anyone use this style of zoo on the ladder.
I have included a pic below of my win rates against all match ups this season. Unfortunately the deck does the worst against warlock/hunter, which is a majority of opponents, but the win rate is still above 50%! and a lot higher for all other classes.
If the deck becomes popular I will happily add on some mulligan strats for versing different classes and maybe 1 or 2 cards you can swap out depending on the meta.
Thanks for looking and I hope your climb to legend is as easy for you with this deck as it was for me! Enjoy :)

Hi there. I am currently climbing the ranked ladder with a zoolock deck too. I think it is quite similar to yours,
but I'm kinda stuck at rank 11. Could you suggest how I could modify my deck so that I can get closer to legend?
Thank you very much!
Here is my deck list:
Power Overwhelming × 2 Flame Imp × 2 Voidwalker × 2 Soulfire × 2 Doomguard × 2
Abusive Sergeant × 2 Leper Gnome × 2 Dire Wolf Alpha × 2 Harvest Golem × 2 Haunted Creeper × 2
Ironbeak Owl × 2 Knife Juggler × 2 Nerubian Egg × 2 Dark Iron Dwarf × 2 Defender of Argus × 1
Frostwolf Warlord × 1
(I also have cards such as Imp-losion, Shadowflame, Dreadsteed, etc., but I don't have Sea Giant or Imp Gang Boss)
(would questing adventurer be good, or are the better replacements?)
Can you use Fist of Jarraxas instead of Impolosion? I am running low on dust
Implosion isn't as good as it once was in zoo, you can probably get away with playing only 1.
As far as a replacement goes I wouldn't run fist of jarraxus - that thing just loses games. A soulfire. void terror and BGH are all better choices. The current meta could also warrant a hellfire, but things are always changing.
Good replacement for imp gang?
Shattered Sun Cleric!
Im about 10 loss 2 win with this deck so far , deck fukin sucks, there are no options for a lot of shit that the opponent pops
Edit: decided to give it an extra try, lost 5 more games 0 wins. Used to be rank 8 now Im rank 14, fuck your deck.
It's you that sucks. Going 2-15 won't take you to 14 from rank 8. So you're clearly lying or you lost with your other decks too, dumbass.
A very effective deck. Old style Zoo is faster than the Demon Zoo variation but will lack more punch if the game lasts too long. Depending of what you are facing at your current rank you might consider switching from this version to the Demon version (Voidcaller / Dr Boom / Mal'Ganis) and going back and forth between the two.
A solid list though, the only variation i made while i was playing it when Imp Gang Boss was released was only 1 PO and instead 1 Clockwork Gnome for extra insurance in getting a 1 drop in starting hand and the Spare part can often save your life.
what does the OG in the title stand for?
"Original"!
what instead of loatheb and other shits from shitty p2w adventure?
Looks the same as every other zoo deck.
I can't really agree with your English either =P
+1 for Dark Iron Dwarf, fucking love that card, gonna try for Legend this season with this deck!
I think im just being lucky but ive lost 3 times all vs Tempomages and won about 10 or 15, so it works, i think. :P
The deck can be a little spicy at times, especially the deeper you get into late game. Unfortunately mages have the ability to burst you down if you get below 15 so the earlier you can bait out the fireballs the better.
Generally you just need to keep up with a mage until they are out of cards, from there you have a fair chance to win. Sometimes throwing out a doomguard on turn 5 with 2-3 really good cards in hand is just necessary. Just remember that our draw power is our only up we have on mage - use that to your advantage! Well done so far, and Good luck.
If I'm versing a lot of hunter or handlock I like dropping the 2nd Implosion for a BGH/Void terror anyways, so that shouldn't be an issue.
On the other hand the doomguards are often a win condition so I don't see any card that could properly replace them. If you have a Dr. Boom or a Sea Giant those could fit in well I guess! Good luck.
yeah but you really want to craft them ASAP. 2x doomguard 2x implosion is pretty much staple in every warlock zoo deck variation
