I came back here after months, years even, to find the ruins of a once great deck. Midway through evolutions and heavily outdated it needed some work, but I wasn't feeling writing an updated zoo guide for the modern game. So I decided to take it back to where it all began. A piece of hearthstone history. The first deck that truly shattered the metagame. And where more appropriate than here, the resting place of the guide that started it all. My build of OG zoo that haunted the ladder right back in season 1.
R.I.P
Thanks for your reply!
I'll try it more, once I get more of the commons in this deck.
Is everyone not sick of zoo decks yet? I am not trying to flame or be a prick, but I am sick to death of facing zoo decks. They are all the same, lets face it. Subbing a couple of cheap minions for another few doesn't make it particularly unique.
It wasn't an attack on you mate! I appreciate what you are doing, it's just irritating that so many people play a deck which could easily be considered the best. And with the million iterations of it I find it surprising when yet another zoo is one of the top rated decks.
But I completely understand what you are saying, in a weird way I enjoy playing against zoo because it is challenge, but at the same time it doesn't feel like I have been paid into submission by a deck with 15 legendaries.
First comment and I get down-voted haha, good times.
Might need to specify there matey.
Just realised you are obviously talking about the bit where I say loads of people play it and it's the best. And yes, you're right there! I do wish people had a little more originality sometimes but I guess results outweigh the desire to change things up much.
You seem to be the one getting annoyed here haha. Play what you want mate.
Terrible deck 0-5
I like how this deck looks. Also enjoyed reading the description as it got me excited to play it. I'm not sure if you're going to agree with me, but I want to put Leeroy in this deck. What card should I replace for him? Also why don't you play him in the first place?
Leeroy is in most zoo decks for tournament play. Few good players use him on ladder.
His strength in tournaments is that it screws up your opponent's math, and forces them to make tougher decisions.
I'm running two zoo builds right now and have been tweaking my main. This is the only post I've seen so far to hit the points that have been bugging me as well.
Mukla, major mixed feelings about him, took him out. Faerie dragon over Amani? I wouldn't choose it necessarily. Faerie takes dmg from rogue hero power, flamestrike, AoE, battlecries... Eleven archer + Amani is great combo and for early cards I feel like 3 health if possible is almost necessary, save for your leper gnomes, squires and the like. "You can't do that while you're dead." Dying is inefficient lol. I'd love to take out a flame imp but the chance of never seeing it drop or drop too late is iffy for me. I added you on bnet. Great guide.
Hahaha. Ah, that makes sense. Shame! Would have loved to chat more about it!
Pretty much the only time I would consider enraging my berserker with archer is on my turn with either necessary removal, well protected, or getting towards fatal. I see your points though.
HA. That's hilarious. Mukla is so bad against so many classes and if you don't use him respectively by mid-game it's not worth it, dead card imo. I guess I can share then the recent time where I was testing out millhouse manastorm and (lol.. Sigh.) coined him turn 1 against a warrior (I know, I know. -_-) and by turn two or three he had 27 armor and growing. Yep. Sit down and hope for a disconnect gg. Needless to say, took him out directly after. Lol. FOR SCIENCE.
Thanks.
Its funny. I've been consistently between ranks 5-2 with heavy control decks like warrior and priest, but still I have always failed to play zoo.
I know, it sounds stupid since zoo is so "easy", but I just never learned the entire midrange playstyle.
I always managed to beat zoo and modify my decks to counter it, but playing it is just something else.
This guide does help a lot though. So thanks ;)
No, that's not silly... It's not "easy," it's just powerful if used properly. I don't play shaman, priest, warrior and I'm just god awful at paladin. Lol. I feel exactly what you're saying about being able to play against them effectively but when it comes to drafting or building that deck and playing, different beast all together lol.
