The reason ZooLock isn't thought to be very strong right now is because:
A) The other aggro decks are generally better at dealing damage quickly
B) It normally doesn't run many sticky minions
This list is capable of building very difficult-to-remove boards quickly, while also keeping heavy pressure on your opponent. It's hard for your opponent to clear your whole board with one AoE card because of Possessed Villager, Runic Egg, Darkshire Councilman, Devilsaur Egg, Defender of Argus, Ravenous Pterrordax, Sea Giants, and of course, Prince Keleseth. This list also tech's one copy of Unwilling Sacrifice to counter Doomsayer and The Lich King (along with all the other large taunts run right now), and it also synergizes with the Egg cards.
I took out the Mortal Coils and Runic Egg. Feel like minions are more important and warlock's hero power allow card draw anyways. Replaced them with one Bonemare, one Tar Creeper (strong af when buffed) and an Argent Squire.
I see a ridicilious amount of relience on drawin keleseth early. What do you say? I have lost to most Boardclears and anti aggro tools against druid, mage and Priest is tricky to outplay (because with keleseth minons survive holy nova).
I'll play it anywys since i have no other viable options. Maybe im jsut not used to this kind of playstyle.
Will tell ya my experiences.
Inb4 ppl say y not tech crazed alchemist instead of unwilling sacrifice
Because crazed alchemist costs 2 mana and this deck runs Keleseth?
I know but noobs won't know that
Because I'm semi anti-aggro decks, I dusted Leeroy and never got him again.
Any replacement tips? I kind of don't want to run the 5-2 charge
Need a wipe. Can't come back if you lose board
That's the point with zoo decks, they rely on board control and no board clears.
Meta Breaker Bois believe me!
Any replacements for Keleseth? I'm trying out Crazed Alchemist for Doomsayers and Direwolf Alpha, what do you recommend?
To be honest, if you don't have Keleseth I'd recommend running a different variation of Zoolock, either Demonlock or Discolock. If you remove Keleseth there's a lot of card swapping you could do since the entire 2 mana slot would then open up. But for a simple 1 for 1 swap, I'd personally recommend Crazed Alchemist
Got it. Thanks! Will definitely craft Keleseth if the post balance change meta seems favorable. Great deck guide!
Fun deck. Has an early feel of Zoolock, but, as the game goes on, it has a lot more personality. Lived up to the name, and killed (2) Jade Druids.
Patches coming out as a 4/4 was funny (vs Quest Druid who kept vanishing Keleseth)
If I get out numbered on the board, it is really hard to catch up. The lack of some form of AOE hurts. I would like to say (1) Corsair could be replaced with a Hellfire, but that could devalue Patches and your own Zoo type board (with Sea Giants).
Overall, I give the deck a nice, fun thumbs up!
Thanks for sharing
I think crazed alchemist would work better than unwilling sacrafice and can be uses with the eggs also same as unwilling sacrafice but im not too sure since you get a 2/2 from one but the other provides a 5/5 but maybe not a 100% chance at killing a doomsayer
This deck originally had Crazed Alchemist when I made it, but it's like running x2 of a card with a Kazakus deck. If you don't draw the alchemist in time, your Prince Keleseth won't trigger.
I don't know man, i had a good run yesterday but today everyone seems to run boardclear...
Thx for sharing
If we don't have Leeroy can we sub Doomguard?
I'd recommend Bonemare, actually, to fill the role of lategame finisher or damage blocker, since you're not using the entire DiscoLock package for Doomguard (PS: luv u Aias, BB).
Nice deck, I opened a Keleseth and have been looking for some use of him.
