Introduction:
Hi everybody, my name is masoud with the battle name ma3ud. for the last 3 seasons i have been playing prince zoolock a lot. most of games have been playing was in wild, but i have played some standard too. I managed to hit legend twice in wild.
You should be able to easily hit 5 in standard or wild, from 5 to legend it needs you to have a good knowledge of the deck, archetype and your opponents play which i try to explain in guides section.
in the current season, i played this decks in the 1st and 2nd day of the season till rank 5, then stopped for next exp to release, was busy with clearing dungeons for a few days and played the deck again on 14th, 15th and 16th December and hit top 40 legend today. the win rate for deck is 61%. but since most of games was played in 1st and 2nd days of the season, and it's still 2 weeks left, you can possibly have better win rates too.
Proof:
here you can see win-rates, opponents statistics and legend proof.

Card Replacement:
2xCorridor Creeper => 2x Acherus Veteran
Mal'Ganis: have not tested this card yet, cuz i miss it, we get it from Voidcaller it would be awsome, other wise too slow
Bloodreaver Gul'dan: have not tested this card yet, cuz i miss it. i think it will be too slow, but not sure if it make the deck better or worse.
Loatheb: have not tested this card yet, cuz i miss it, very good vs Controls, useless vs Aggro with the exception of Aggro Mage

replaced 1 PO with Guldan and get from r20 to r9 in less than 2 hours with only 3 loses. All loses was against secret clases and i was about to add eater of secret :D But hit streak again from 12 to 9 so nvm
I had a decent win rate with the exact copy of this deck, "66%". I removed 1 power overwhelming and in 20 games I jumped up to a 75% leaving the conclusion that guldan DK is MANDATORY for this deck in my opinion... So many earlier games I lost because I ran out of steam or ran out of health to still gather resources or even just survive. Guldan adds an extra win condition even if it's that late in the game. Out of the 20 games I played with him in the deck i had 7 games I would have had a guaranteed loss if it wasn't for dk. I'm also trying around with leeroy now. So far leeroy has been working exactly as planned, especially with the burst potential from soulfire and po. The only thing I feel is lacking now is silence and that's strictly opinion based. There were a few games I woulda won if I had a way around a huge taunt. Anyways, thanks for the deck list. If you really like this deck I recommend getting DK Asap
Oh, I also forgot to mention that I added loatheb as well, "mainly because he's probably my favorite Hearthstone card of the entire series. I try and fit in whatever I can. So, that leaves my changes at -1 PO, -1 councilman, -1 saronite chain gang and adding +1 DK Guldan, +1 Loatheb and +1 leeroy. The deck feels very solid in this state. Also, I'm expirementing with no pirates in the deck as well. With only 3 pirates, "one of which you don't ever want to draw" in the deck it leaves me feeling like those deck spots are a waste. It was super rare I was able to get a captian out before drawing patches and it was even harder getting a captian out before patches AFTER playing prince.
P.S. - Sorry to spam your wall with all this long text. I just felt that this information could be taken in a positive matter since everyone always wants to get better :)
glad you liked the deck, i will clearly test those cards when i get my hands on them. currently waiting for the hall of fame announcement to get double value from my dusts. after that i will craft them all. because they are essentials in a lot of different decks.
I've been totally out of the loop with moving for my new job, had no idea there was going to be another hall of fame announcement. Do you have any idea who's subject for removal?
Sorry for the delay here is a list of candidates:

Replacements to Power Overwhelming and Void caller for standard?
2x spellbreaker, 2x kobold librarian
I'm surprised no Spellbreaker
there aren't many cubelock, control warlock in wild, so i see no reason to add spelbreaker, most of opponents in wild are aggro paladin and razakus priest which makes spellbreaker useless in those match-ups but if you see alot of cubelocks in the rank u r playing, you can add 2x spellbreaker instead of veterans. only 14% of my opponents were warlock and most of them were zoolock, see link below:

Spellbreaker can reach through aggro paladin taunts.
Salam dadash masood.
Craft bloodreaver guldan and change your world
it's true that cubelock and control warlock are hard matchups for this deck, but i haven't seen many of them in wild during my climb, if you see a lot of them you can swittch out veterans and put spellbreaker instead.
there are a lot of cubelocks and control warlocks in standard but there are only few of them in wild (due to razakus priest probably). at least that was what i saw during my climb. and adding spellbreaker will surely reduce your winrate vs other classes such as aggro paly and razakus priests. see links below:

Auto loses to Reno lock and Reno priest. Winnable if they dont draw any removal the First 5 turns.
if you mean cubelock, yeah if they get there voidlord before turn 6 you are lost, the good thing is there aren't many cubelock or control warlocks in wild cuz to huge number of razakus priest. and autolose vs reno priests? actually it's a good match-up for us, due to huge number of players playing this deck, it has been added to hsreplay now, the total winrate is 65%, and it also has 65% winrate vs priests. and i'm 27/22(w/l) vs priests which is far far a way from auto lose. i guess you are playing this deck wrong.

use your power overwhelming in time, it shouldn't be hard to beat reno priests.
This deck is on fire :D love it man :D
Hey guys,
To make this deck standard you need to replace Power Overwhelming and Voidcaller. I have been trying +2 Kobold Libraria and +2 Hooked Reaver. Seems to be working well.
Had a hard time initially (5-3) when just trying to do casual, but I got the hang of it and then went 3-0 from rank 6 to 5
It was mentioned before, but don't be afraid to Power Overwhelming or Soulfire early minions vs aggro if you have to like paladin's Knife Juggler or Ship's Cannon.
I did some play testing in casual with -Bonemare and +Bloodreaver Gul'dan but felt bloodreaver was a little too slow for this deck's more aggro style archetype
Overall, performed much better than I expected, thanks so much for the list!
