Any replacement for Dragon Egg?

Quote from Demonocrat >>

Well zoolock is a good deck, and it's unlikely to ever disappear completely from the meta, but it's in an awkward place right now. I've played it all the way to rank 2, but the meta past rank 5 is really unfavorable to it - at least it's been for the last few days on the NA server.

I've got to say I did not experiance theese kinds of problems. It's easy to overcommit against them maybe that's your problem. As for healing, never really cared, because I never really tried to rush them down

Do you have any videos of yourself playing against Renolock that you think represent an 'average' reno vs secret game that might allow me to learn from it? Preferably one where they play Reno.

I really wish I played against you with this deck :P I've yet to face a renolock who hasn't drawn reno. If they didn't I feel like I'd stand a good chance.

How do you fare against Renolock percentage wise? Any tips for playing against them? Same for Freeze Mage.

I'm completely baffled by what you say about Renolock. I'm playing one right now, and yet again, just like every other time I've played against them, he just played Reno Jackson and healed for 28 health. They are utterly, literally impossible to beat. They have everything they need - multiple board clears to clear everything you have, ways to destroy your weapon, single target removal for rag/mysterious challenger/whatever, little minions to activate your secrets, endless taunts and so.many.heals. I'm pretty sure I could face them 100 times and not win once.  Freeze mage is easier.  This deck has single handedly halved the fun of the game for me, I might just stop until it falls out of favour. 

Hardest and easiest matchups? What do you think of slower versions with Ragnaros? So many cards different people put in this deck: repentance, sir finley, sludge belcher, truesilver, etc. I'd love for you to go into more detail on why you chose not to run certain cards and chose to run some rarer cards like aldor and especially argent protector, don't think I've ever seen that one in a secret paladin deck.

Also, I checked out your stream. Do you ever play ranked on stream? I was hoping to see you play some of this deck.

Hey, thanks for responding the other day. You're a really cool guy; I hope to see more content from you in the future.

I have another question. On liquidhearth they have rated Mech Shaman pretty far down at #15 and have this to say: "Zoolocks, Hunters and Warriors, oh my! The big three spell disaster for Mech Shaman and a coin flip just to get a good enough hand to compete isn’t enough to justify this deck. That being said, Trump has used this deck quite successfully in the HTC Recharged tournament two weeks ago."

Favorable Matchups: Midrange Druid
Unfavorable Matchups: Freeze Mage, Midrange Shaman, Midrange Demonzoo

Do you agree with their assessment of mech shaman? They don't make it sound appealing to play.

How would you respond to critics who say this deck is almost 100% reliant on a great opening hand, and terrible if you don't get that? Also I'm starting to see a lot of Harrison Jones right now so playing doomhammer can be an instant loss much of the time.
