How Zayle, Shadow Cloak Works + All Five Decklists
The new Dalaran adventure that releases this Thursday comes with a new awesome card that works like our friend Whizbang the Wonderful. Instead of the regular deck recipes though, Zayle has 5 special E.V.I.L. decks.
Obtaining Zayle, Shadow Cloak
There are two ways to obtain Zayle.
- Purchasing the entire adventure gives you a golden Zayle, Shadow Cloak.
- This can be done with money right away ($20) or gold as the wings come out (700 per wing).
- You must own the entire adventure before you'll get golden Zayle. You do not need to complete it.
- Crafting through 1600 dust gives you the normal version of Zayle, Shadow Cloak.
- The ability to craft a normal Zayle will unlock on Thursday when the adventure releases.
The Decks
There are five decks that Zayle provides. They are all E.V.I.L! Each deck comes from the class that represents each member of the League of E.V.I.L. and internally is referred to as such. Example: "Boom's EVIL Deck".

You almost certainly won't be able to dust it.
+ golden pack, + card backs + Zayle. isn't it worth 4 packs?
The real question: can golden Zayle be disenchanted?
no, probably it cant. It's an uncraftable card like golden Gelbin Mekkatorque. I can't disenchant gelbin, so we can't do that for Zayle too.
It's not uncraftable tho. The normal version can crafted, and I assume that allows for a disenchant of the golden version.
The confusion is real.
They should say if it is explicitly.
Gelbin Mekkatorque can be crafted in non-golden aswell ;) he is a Hall of Fame card. My bet is, that the golden version cannot be disenchanted like other quest rewards (see Gelbin and Elite Tauren Chieftain. But since there have been inconsistencies, such as Old Murk-Eye which was also a quest reward for obtaining all classic murloc cards, nobody will probably be able to tell for sure. Tomorrow you will know ;P
Actually impressed by the quality of the decks. Not only that, but while Whizbang changes every expansion, with the cloak you can realiably get the decks you want forever. Also, I really love the fact that by owning this card, if you're a f2p player, there's no need for you to craft some really expensive cards to have access to wacky decks - such as Warlock's and Shaman's - and actual good decks - such as Bomb Warrior and Tempo Rogue. I really like this. I guess 2.8k gold for it plus the whole adventure plus RoS packs plus the golden pack doesn't look THAT bad now.
Yes i am pretty suprised aswell. The decks are good and not some gimmicky stuff. Must have for players with small collection.
So, if you craft Zayle on day1, will you still get one if you finish the adventure?
You get golden one via advanture, but you can't craft golden one.
You can craft normal one, but I don't think you can get it other way.
and after all this time, it's an actual cloak .... Well done blizz, you got me on this one
I wonder if these deck lists will stay the same throughout the next expansions, or will be updated as soon as a new expansion launches?
Zayle > Whizbang. Less rng and only warlock sucks from zayle deck. 4/5 valiable tier 2 decks.
Whizbang > Zayle. The only reason you'd play one of these is because you're a memer. Most of Zayle's decks just look like weaker meta decks
You can say "f2p" but the true joy of not having a good collection comes from figuring out how to scrap together a decent list with what you have. Making yourself a cut-price rogue or hunter deck for just a little more dust would net you far better results than crafting this card directly
All of Zayle's decks seem to be a pretty good reflection of the current meta with the priest deck being the only exception. Wizbang is less reliable and also contains some pretty off meta decks.
