UPDATE: anyone looking for another off-meta deck capable of reaching legend, check out the Double Pyroblast Freeze Mage deck I used to get Legend this season [S49]!
Thanks for all the upvotes everyone.
I used this list to climb from Rank 13 to rank 2 LEGEND in a few hours on 03/28-30 (was playing Wild the rest of the month because of how stale the meta is). Proof here. The deck is somewhat standard for Zoolock but with a heavy focus around Demon synergy.
Notable additions:
- Blood Imp: doesn't apply a lot (any) pressure but helps making your board less susceptible to board clear and your minions stick.
- Demonfire: since the deck runs a lot of 1-drops, this is an excellent turn 2 play to buff your guys and take favorable trades. The opponent usually doesn't expect that. Can also help you get back on the board or remove your opponent's minions like Knife Juggler, Mistress of Mixtures while going face or preserving your minion's life.
- Bloodfury Potion: similar to Demonfire, synergizes well with your 1-2 drops (e.g. Blood Imp) and helps you take favorable trades. Works exceptionally well against priest if you're able to buff Voidwalker to create a 4-attack taunt that trades well with most of their early minions.
- Fungalmancer: could be seen as a win-more card but it surprises the opponent more often than not and synergizes well with the deck since we run so many 1 drops.
- Crystalweaver: since almost half of the deck are demons (14/30 cards), this usually gets to buff 1-2 minions at least which already makes it a 4 mana 6/5 or 7/6. Value.
Besides these cards, the rest of the deck is fairly standard Zoolock. I'm also running two Spellbreaker to help bypass Voidlord and Obsidian Statue for that final lethal push.
Notable omissions:
- Prince Keleseth: Vulgar Homunculus is such a great turn 2 play that synergizes with the rest of the deck that I don't think it's worth switching it for the (admittedly great) upside of the +1/+1 buffs. If you want to include this card, you might as well probably switch at least 4-6 other Demon synergy cards in the deck.
- Bloodreaver Gul'dan: if you make it to turn 10, you probably already lost the game. Moreover, you will more often than not be discarding it from your Doomguard and Soulfire.
Mulligan:
Always keep Flame Imp as it trades favorably against Northshire Cleric and Mana Wyrm. Most of the time I tend to keep other 1-drops except Blood Imp to make sure I have a curve. If already have a 1-drop, it's ok to keep Vulgar Homunculus and Demonfire.
Against Paladin I always keep Despicable Dreadlord even though it tops our mana card since it's your main win condition against their wide board.
Hope this helps some people climb some ranks in the last few days of the season!
Great combo. Works. Many Thanks TampaTT!!!
Great to hear it's been working out for you! Keep climbin' :D
Im playing from rank 22 now im at rank 19 with 12-5 score , i lost 3 games vs Jade Druid
6-2 ranked to 18 now :D 2 lost games vs warlock
Today, this deck took me from Rank 7 —> Rank 3 —> Rank 5.
Quite cancerous indeed. :3
My favorite part was when I went from rank 25 to legend in a few hours.
Total loser. Couldn't win a single match.
When, for good reason, people start making fun of a rather fair zoolock deck, you realize how degenerate this meta is.
No we are not making fun of the deck itself.We are making fun of the Op's statement'' Rank 13 to
rank 2LEGEND in a few hours'' and the fact that this is a repost of the exact same deck posted a little while ago.The best by far part of this deck is the comment section if you ask me :PSo much hate here. It actually works for me, 15W-9L, 63% winrate, already went from rank 7 to rank 5 this season. Thanks for the deck.
I went from rank 20 to Grandmaster in Overwatch with this deck
Look... a spell checker =D
Should've read the comments (hilarious by the way) before I went and tried this deck. Deck is awful by the way, don't try it.
From Rank Chicken to Rank Chicken McNuggets! Thank you so much for this amazing losing deck :-D
if you make it until turn 10 with this deck, you already probably lost, like you said. But, this brings back nothing (significant) but Malchezaar's Imp and Doomguard. Anything else is for control, so if that's your gameplan, might as well add a few Carnivorous Cubes, and maybe Dark Pact to pop them, then add Voidlord for more value with Bloodreaver Gul'dan and Carnivorous Cube. To get out your demons sooner, why not add Skull of the Man'ari. And finally, Rin, the First Disciple for another win condition. That's how you improve a... wait, I just made Cubelock...
I went legend in 2 games from rank 33 with this deck
Already went from 18 to Legend in the time it took me to read the first page of comments.
Seriously though, looks good but I'd rather stick with Hunter for my SmOrc decks.
thx climb rank 8 to 5 in 1 hours
