Do you understand the underlying principle of this deck? I am not mocking you, I just want to know whether you know the winning condition of this deck or not
Flood the board as soon as possible, trade in a way that gives you the strongest board possible. Playing on curve is very important, and having control of the board is number one. Zoo can be countered if your opponent gets some good early game and removal spells, with this deck it's usually a you win or you lose situation by turn 6-7, unless you were able to do sick face damage and can finish them with a Doomguard Power Overwhleming/ abusive combos. Once you lose the board in a lot of cases it can be an auto loss.
being playing zoo to rank 4 in the past, i know very well how it works and i'm an avid fan of Brann, but most decks just wipe your board to much priest is freaking autoloss, tempomage as well and shaman is just faster than you are, Druid is always a gamble do they have the boosted start or not and if they live long enough do they have combo. Oh yes and facehunter just completely rapes this.
I think i just described non legend ladder, legend is where everybody is playing real decks and not brainless aggro (not telling zoo is brainless, but it is not very difficult to play well, mastering is another thing)
Great deck! Especially dark paddler he helps out a lot
One Dark Iron Dwarf is the norm but its definitely not a bad idea. Any of the following should be good: Gormok the Impaler, Void Terror, Sea Giant if you are seeing a lot of flood, even an Argent Squire performs well if you are facing a lot of aggressive decks. It really depends on what kind of meta you are seeing. In some cases, some of the above referenced cards would perform better than Brann.
Void walker is in that deck because of the doomguards. They are demon, so you can not replace it with arcane golem or something else which is not a demon. So put some demons instead of Doomguards since you dont have them...
Is a good idea to remove 1 Flame Imp to Add Dr. Boom? or Mal'ganis?
This is aggro version of zoo so it removed midrange card such as Dr. Boom and Mal'ganis in favor of early game card. If you want to play midrange version just find another page.
Try a Demon Zoo deck as catastropherz suggested. If you are running the more midrange version then you would definitely make more changes (ie. you want Voidcaller in there as well)
Thanks. i was just asking... i guess i will find another deck because i personally prefer more mid-range-ish decks :P
Hey, are there any good replacements for Dark Peddler, Imp Gang Boss and Brann Bronzebeard?
Dark Peddler and Imp Gang Boss are core cards and aren't easily replaceable.
funny how people keep arguing about brann... just freaking play it when its beneficial for you.... dont go and play brann then flame imp.... or play brann and doomguard so u lose 4 cards.... heck i dont even play doom guard unless i have voidcaller or i almost dont have cards in my hand... so why would i play it with a brann on the field....
and u dont need to have all of your cards to have synergy with brann..... this deck isnt even named battlecry deck
its a zoo deck that can function well even without brann, and brann just improve this deck two folds
thanks for this beautiful guide. just created account for the comment
Brann + Flame Imp, best combo Kappa
Brann + Doomgie works well too :P
Doomguard is ok, you play it on empty hand anyways.
Fun zoo , thanks for sharing it with us all, it inspired me to build from it a deck utilizing more LOE cards . Though my zoo deck matches move a little slower , I mulligan for low cards and play the deck in conventional zoo like fashion, although it is a mix of these types of decks , combo, aggro, & control.
I hope you try it out sometime and let me know if you like it .

I love Brann with Loatheb. Just something about completely obliterating Freeze Mages...
