After naxx, I encountered mostly zoolocks. Zoo is probably one of the best decks in the current meta (if not the very best). Playing ladder for quitte a lot, made me sick of it all,seeing the same decks again and again, so I made something new (or rather old if you prefer). If anyone starts a ranked game against a Warlock, it is safe to assume it is a zoo with the only exeption being Handlock. No one, ever, is prepared to face a Controll deck like this one. Using this as your main advantage you can win a fair amount of games. It is quitte possible to start with a Flame Imp or a Voidwalker, thus making your opponent think he is facing a zoo, or start with just Life Tap, in which case they will assume it is Handlock, and plan their first turns accordingly.
It is neither a well thought deck, nor is it created by a pro. I am up for new ideas and possible changes,
Cheers!
**Edit**
Following the advice mostly given by hirtegirte and panaris, the revised version looks like this, let me know what you think!
** Note **
You can swap Jaraxxus for any late game card you prefer (Alex, Ysera, Malygos, or even Sylvanas)
Recent win ratios: 14/16 vs Zoo, 1/4 vs Shaman, 2/4 vs Druid, 3/4 vs Priest, 1/3 vs Handlock, 1/1 vs Freeze Mage, 1/2 vs Warrior, 2/4 vs Miracle Rogue, 2/2 vs Aggro Rogue,1/1 vs Shockadin, 1/2 vs Control Paladin, 2/2 vs Aggro Hunter, 1/1 vs Midrange Hunter. Total win ratio 32 /46 ~= 70%
All this ratios are at ranks 5-3. (by a/b I mean that I won a out of b games)
** Another Note **
I wanted to try the new cards, so I made some changes. From the little play time I've given it, it is pretty much ok. Always open for thoughts and possible changes!
**Changed it a bit**
This deck is from naxx lanch. The meta has changed.
Great deck man. So much fun to play.
Currently using this deck and its doing pretty good, a muligan guide would help though :0
EDIT :Jaraxxus wins 80% of my games lolol
great deck got all the way to 11 using zoo and played 70% zoo decks, havn't played a single zoo with this deck yet out of 12 games
why not both giants? im very confused.. giants is what makes this deck work.
I love this deck, however I do not have Molten Giant. What do I replace it with? I have been using The Black Knight and Mountain Giant. Let me know if you have a better idea for a substitution. Maybe Gruul ?
non-legendary swaps for jaraxx?
Why no Void Terror?
Since i don't have jarraxus, I have been playing barron geddon with a lot of success. I am currently at rank 8. Is this a good swap?
What were the changes you made?

Your working this out wrong.
The actual win rate in a percentage is: 32/79=0.40 which is 40%, You don't have a positive win rate with this deck which means it is bad for ladder, you call it a zoo slayer yet it doesn't have a positive rate against it.
Please stop posting wrong calculations.
Oh my bad, Those win rates are pretty good then.
In theory I dont see how this deck should be superiour to handlock.
Loatheb and Eggs are used in handlock already. A watcher is usually pretty strong against zoo, just like Sunfury Protectors.
Abomination is great, especially if paired with an egg or two but for the rest?
Just some friendly criticism, thanks for the reply :)
Ppl considering this deck should also think about using classic handlock and add the abominations imo
Nice deck. I'm really enjoying it so far.
i draw shadowbolts every fucking starting hand.
Really strong deck in the current meta went from rank 10 to rank 5.
Thanks for this really nice and fun deck!
I feel Loatheb is great, Sludge Belcher is ok and Unstable Ghoul is not suited for this deck. Also I never played Jaraxxus in ~15 games.
Rockntrollz, have you considered making a guide? sorry if this has already been asked.
That would be great, the mulligan guide is imo the most important because some decks you just mulligan for low drops, but others like shaman and handlock there are very specific cards you want in hand.
