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 Midway through evolutions and heavily outdated it needed some work, but I wasn't feeling writing an updated zoo guide for the modern game.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
Noodles keeps saying that you cant replace doomguard.
This deck blows big time in the current zoo vs zoo meta. You NEED at least 1 hellfire in the current zoo vs zoo meta or you can't possibly get an advantage, and as of right now (when naxx first came out) there are too many people running zoo for this deck to be viable.
Have you ever considered Lorewalker Cho? I actually tried it in zoo and I must say that it's a wonderful card.
I just started this deck. I am getting pwned in Heroic.
Do heroic faerlina, she's really easy to beat with this deck.
I will try that. I played in rank. I was amazed by it. Turn 5 and they conceded.
Yeah, true. It is so op in ranked.
Huh? What you mean? Zoolock is only fit for 2nd boss at 1st wing. Other than that, Zoolock can't beat 1st & 3rd boss.
I beat the first and second boss in Heroic. Took a few trys to get cards to flow. Thanks again. Keep up the good work in building decks.
So. Have you beat the 3rd boss in Heroic Mode yet?
Clearly wrong, Zoo is still the easiest deck to reach legend with - even a okay player can do it. If you can't reach legend with zoo you are either too bad or playing the deck wrong.
Not first try?
The Arachnid quarter has brought us two cards that are awesome in zoo with the Haunted Creeper and Nerubian Egg, so here's my proposed cuts:
-1 Blood Knight
-1 Scarlet Crusader
Notes: I always preferred the Amani's anyway, but it's still a no brainer.
-2 Young Priestess
Notes: Was really only run due to a lack of better cards. The coin 2x priestess opening was awesome, but otherwise...
+2 Haunted Creepers
Notes: He's a pile of stats that makes a really good argus target while simultaneously being anti AoE. Awesome for this archetype.
+2 Nerubian Egg
Notes: Anti AoE and a 4/4 when activated? Yes please.
Possible alternative cut:
-2 Shieldbearer
Notes: I'm not totally convinced that the deck needs all of the taunt it has, and the lack of attack makes it worse than void walker. This is especially true now that we've added other things that really want the attack buffs zoo runs. It is worth mentioning that I'm a taunt hater, so this one might be baseless.
Anyway, thoughts on the changes?
1. While it's true that Reynad adding the shieldbearers in the first place was zoo's breakthrough, it's no longer in his zoo deck that recently hit rank 2. At the very least, it's not a must include card at this point. I really am a taunt hater though, so YMMV.
2. You seriously do need to try the creepers out. They're a pile of stats, they're anti aoe, they're great argus targets, and they have good synergy with knife jugglers. It makes your to the face matchups worse(ie handlock), but it improves your board control matchups.
3. Unrelated to anything I've said previously, but I'd love to see a more fleshed out meta substitution section. As of right now it's mainly "cards I don't like that other people run + what cards are too good to cut". That's not really a problem, but it's really worth mentioning that certain non zooish cards are worth running in certain situations(ie TBK, MC Tech).
Question. I keep on getting frustrated every time I see a Dark Iron Dwarf, but I'm only rank 10 so here's my question - Is there a really good reason it's in there or would you say it's a prime target for replacement?
I don't have Blood Knight, so I had to stick with the Amani Berserkers.
Please be brutal in response, but what is wrong with using cards like Pint-Sized Summoner and Summoning Portal?
(Especially Pint-Sized Summoner)
Ok, what about Nerubian Egg?
Love this deck :D went from 25 to 10 in 3/4 hours ez!
Gj and keep the good work :)
Seriously what is bad about this deck? It is cheap too and is all the face reach you need. A lil heals to back it up and some sp so your hellfire and drain life do better. F@@K TAUNTS. Hellfire is that last reach you need and most likely you will have more health than him/her when you want to use it. It can also be a nice board wipe out of nowhere. Just mulligan for minions.
So you use Bloodmage only for soulfire ? Why dont you use some card that is usefull actually ?
