Decent win rate from rank 5 to Legend (July 2018)
Thanks a lot for the votes!
Replacements: -1 Void Ripper +1 Spellbreaker if you don't have Void Ripper
I think that Prince Keleseth is a core card, if you don't own him and you need to replace it, you will need more 2drops in the deck, i will work on that and give a new budget list without Prince Keleseth soon
Someone said why we don't play Doomguard. I though it was a good option since most of the times you don't have enough cards to discard and could give you a good lethal, but we already play five 5drops, i will try out a version with doomguards by removing
-1 Tar Creeper -1Leeroy Jenkins +2Doomguard and i will tell you if it works better for me.
Mulligan tips: Always keep Prince Keleseth. Try to throw every card that costs more than one. If you have a card that can heal you, also keep Happy Ghoul. Only vs paladin keep Despicable Dreadlord.
A general tip: If you face control decks like sw shaman, warrior or mage, try to deal big amount of damage before they can clear your board, play smart and you will win them. If you face a tempo/aggro deck like Baku Rogue, Paladin or miracle, winning the board is the key to win the game. Vs hunter the game is easy if they won't find all the cards they need to kill you, and also vs druid a big board on early game is great threat for them. The only win condition they have vs that deck is Spreading Plague or Wild Growth into Coin into Nourish

Unfortunately I'm not able to make videos or stream yet but maybe someday it will happen so if you want to see more stuff, click the follow botton.
Have fun playing the deck, i'm really happy that you actually like it
I will try to make more decks like that.
Good Luck on Ladder
I went and crafted a void ripper last night and I love the card. playing early taunts is not so bad as you can flip their stats for lethal. also the heal synergy with ghoul and light warden is off the charts.
if you are a good zoo player you will excel with this list.
may I suggest dropping one of the Life Drinkers for a 2nd Void ripper if you have them because they are very useful, or for a second spellbreaker as having 2 breakers tends to throw most people off guard.
I was beaten by someone with this deck but with 2 silences last night as well. I thought I'd baited out his silence so placed my lich king on turn 8. he had the other silence in hand though (I thought he only had 1) he was able to silence my lich and he had lethal on board. nightmare.
In the right hands this deck is disgusting, and tbh it's not so bad for a novice neither.
I think zoo is a great starter deck as it teaches you how to trade.
good deck :)
im from rank 13 to rank 4 at >70% win rate.
the worst match up is quest warrior with ton of taunt, clear spell and armor buff.
big spell mage and evenlock are bad too but you can wreck them before they heal, armor up.
first match I faced with it was taunt warrior, you just have to know how to play around them. basically you want him dead before he can brawl on turn five. if he goes 2nd try and get him to waste his coin so he can't brawl on turn 4. on turn 4 hyper extend with buffs in hand and you have it won.
taunt warrior is a horrible deck to play against IMO, but you best chance to beat them is with a fast deck like this... try playing against it with control lock or a combo deck, you have no chance once that quest goes off.
I jack stomped a token druid to hit rank 5 this afternoon with this deck! lol
Would the DK card be a good fit in this deck or is there simply no room for the slightly more British accented, vampiric Guldan?
No. A zoo deck is about board control via minions and wrecking the opponent before the late game arrives. Gul'Dan is too slow for this deck, especially with the limited amount of demons in the deck.
"Doesn't perform". Perhaps you should learn how to play, seeing as multiple people have hit rank 1 Legend with this deck.
A little late to the party but great deck buddy +1. Didn't think it would would as strong as it is but it performs great. Made a video if anyone is interested, thanks.
More like bottom tier 2, because there are a lot of decks that counter this playstyle like token druid, ramp druid, evenlock and big spell mage, only to name a few.
Not sure what you're talking about, im 22-5 vs druids..

Not sure what you're talking about, i only lost a single game with taunt druid against Heallock on my way to rank 5.
great video. I can see the use of having both a DG and a Leeroy as well. Although maybe using a different charge minion would be better than DG so you don't discard. and also we don't use Gul'Dan. reckless rocketeer maybe, although it costs 6. it doesn't really have a downside.
would be interested to know your thoughts on this and why you picked a DG for this.
I have replaced only one card: Void Ripper with Zola the Gorgon
This works perfctly with Prince Keleseth and also many of other cards when required.
EspressoS - you deck + 1 my card change is amazing!!
11:013:0 in ranked!Nobody is expecting this Spanish Inquisition and then is too late to survive.
*amazing killing machine..
Took me roughly an hour to climb from Rank 8 4* to a streaking 5. Thanks for the deck! Didn't change a single card. Positioning and healing the minions is crucial as I found while getting a groove for it.
dont want to be overly negative about this deck but I just face it 6 games in a row. Won all 6. Deck seems like a good idea but just doesnt perform. Though did get a really toxic kid calling me all kinds of names from playing it. So if you are playing this deck relax, it wont win much against a wide variety of the meta but when it wins its generally a snowball.
Make that 10 now seems playing even lock is just hard countering them so much...Its funny.
Most people do not understand that this deck isnt good in the currect meta, probably the reason for the dislikes. You can get some lucky wins, but overall it performs poorly.
This deck "works" as long as Blizzard "support" it (via Prince keleseth draw..)
EZ Win steak from 15 to 9 no lose
thank you. good deck and also fun to play
