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 Midway through evolutions and heavily outdated it needed some work, but I wasn't feeling writing an updated zoo guide for the modern game.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
Aaaaaand I'm legend.
Thank you :)
I just went on a 12 games win-streak from rank 3 to legend.
Quite insane :P
I swapped from another zoo deck that rank Questing Adventurer to this zoo deck and the wins just came rolling in.
Wow, really? That's cool. I'll have to try this deck then.
This deck blows.
Totally sucks. DO NOT USE IT.
(Please, don't, I do and it's fucking awesome I won like 10 games in a row only to lose cuz I made a dumb mistake, I don't wanna face it in my climb ;))
Seriously. phenomenal.
Very fun, excellent guide. I had never played Warlock before, and this is probably the most fun I've had with a deck in Hearthstone. And it's CHEAP!
I'm Rank 8 atm and easily winning 60-70% of my games today with ZERO prior warlock experience. I've made a few terrible mistakes and still pulled it out with this deck. +1 for sure, thank you for the in depth analysis.
should I run an owl? Maybe it´s good for Handlocks and druids
The slight learning curve this deck has is NOTHING compared to how fun it is to play and how effective it is. Awesome deck. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to write a great guide. I like to learn a deck for myself but your guide pretty much sums it up...WTG !!!
Hey whats going on right now?
I played this deck quite successful and went to rank 3 but now Im struggling and have problems to even get a winrate of 50%. Im at 6 now :/
Did you noticed that too?
Not a very good deck. All games played at rank 5.
fuck zoolock
Amen
Cheap ass no skill deck.
This is probably the best zoo list I've played. Might try to take it to legend next season since the games are usually fast.
It's a lot of fun too, if you draw well you can get an early crushing victory; otherwise, there are usually a lot of interesting decisions to be made. I understand that people get sick of seeing zoo again and again, but I don't really get the hate for the deck itself. I think it's fun to play and fun to play against.
So I climbed to rank 9 but am on a bit of a losing streak. Mostly to really bad draws I think.
(that aside)
I am seeing a lot of the mirror, but with things like the Scarlet Crusader which is really strong in the mirror almost always being a 2 for 1 and it makes me wonder about some of the card choices. Amani Berserker is either really badass or a waste of mana and the only deck I like seeing Argent Squire against is mage decks. Most other decks don't run things with 1 health.(at least where I am) I just feel like damn near anything is better at this point. I guess I will go back to the mill and make some changes and see what I get.
Hi. Sorry for my english
I can play only zoo since i have no cards or dust for cards.Zoo works good even in my noob hands. I played almost same desk,but today i found this guide . So i have some questions
1.I dont like amani berserkers For me they are useless without archers.( mb i do smth wrong)
So i played with 2 archers 1 dwarf and 1 golem.The problem was - i had 14 one mana cards. This worked great when i got juggler or two in early game. But when i had no jugglers i had a problems in later game because 1 mana cards are useless on turn 4 or later. So today i put dark iron and golem back to the desk and now i have to choose:
-Keep berserkers and replace squires for archers.
-Or remove berserkers and use swordsmith instead.
2.I have a lot of problems with druids. They do nothing , but play 100500 taunts and sometimes swipe. And can kill one taunt. May be two. But there are always watcher-> shieldmasta-->abomination->druid of the claw -> sunwalker or fat tree . Every game against druid.
3.I'm very bad against druids, but against shamans i'm hopeless. So i need some advices how to deal with them?
Hi. Thanks for the awesome guide. Zoo decks have been my most successful deck in constructed (I think I'm pretty noob) but I always seem to get stuck once I hit rank 5.
I have two questions.
1) How do you deal with multiple Doomguards/soulfires in your hand? Especially when you get them early.
2) What's your opinion on abusive sergeant in terms of mulligan? I'm never quite sure if I should hold on to them or toss them away
And also, not really a question but you stated that druid is a fairly easy matchup. It's odd because I seem to lose against druid/warrior/handlock a lot. Druid's just always manage to bring out those heavy taunts, and I usually don't have the damage to answer. (or likewise don't have enough damage at the start to rush them down before they can bring out taunts.)
Thanks.
Thanks for all the great advice. I actually got to rank 2 today with this deck, will update if I get to legend!
edit: am beginning to lose often due to blood knights and handlock matchups :(
No, nothing new, but a GREAT write up. Really appreciate the detail on how you play. I'm currently on rank 6 on the ladder.
No deck wins every game. Sometimes you drop a rank or 2.
I rarely win against handlocks, shamans are icky. Control warriors are allegedly a direct counter to this deck. I do fairly well against mirrors, because they didn't read a guide!
Thanks for the time you spent.
You are thinking wrong about the hellfire. I know the feeling. Round 4 and you have 1 minion and the opponent has 5. you wish for a hellfire.
But, what if you had one? You would clear the board and thats it. Next round he would place more minions. Hellfire isnt a real gamechanger.
i would like to thank everyone for running this deck. 0 mortal coils makes for an easy victory mirror match, in my favor of course.
Yeah, my harvest golems and loot hoarders love this edition!
No, temporogue of course. Love killing this 3/2 with them.
