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
Can you play this deck with out Prince Keleseth?
No, not this variant at least. It's built around Prince Keleseth, so if you're removing him you might as well add more 2 drops.
Ok thanks. :)
Not really, if you just take out keleseth your mana curve is awful with having no 2 drops and there aren't really many great tempo swinging warlock 2 drops. Imo if you like the deck just craft keleseth, its probably the strongest card to have in your opening hand and just in general its a good craft.
2-7 Did only draw keleseth once when i was dead already
Any help guys ? please
forget. this deck is so overrated, so trash
Great deck!
Just beat a Mage who got me down to 1 health while they had 12 health + 14 armor but I managed to beat them on the next turn thanks to Leeroy + Soulfire!

But this selfish, toxic business of wanting votes before revealing mulligan/tips/etc has got to stop.
Despite the deck being a good one, I cannot in good conscience give you an upvote when you held the community to ransom like that.
Downvote it is, unfortunately.
Lost to Rush Warrior, agro paladin, and midrange hunter so far......, wasn't even close
Flew on multiple win streaks to Rank 5 from 15. Took 2 days. Probably 30 games tops. This deck is something I have been waiting for. Anyone else just wanting that golden epic each month for achieving Rank 5? I feel as if over the years of playing that taking it slow, stacking mana, stacking gold, having a good average with Arenas, and waiting for a deck to strike the leaderboards is truly a great feeling as a HS player. I am not made of money. Lastly and once again, this deck is efficient, pretty cheap, and is fun overall.
Hey there, i ve a question (you can downvote me as you want): why everyone is using this deck? Can't you build one on your own, is it really so difficoult? I appreciate the fact that someone had the fantastic idea to bring back zoolock thanks to the inclusion of new cards such as Fungal Enchanter and Happy Ghoul, you re a genious IMHO. But why now everyone is playing it? I mean, Kobolds and Catacombs is out from about half a year (mid November) and people has realized just now there could be an aggro Warlock deck based on heals? I think taht is because none is trying new decks or experimenting cards that aren't included in "TIER 1 DECKS". The truth is that there wouldn't be such a boring meta if people weren't netdecking. Just stop openimg your Browser and refreshing hsreplay.net every 2 seconds. If someone has shared a new deck, for sure it's proposal was "Hey, I ve found a new deck that could work, I will share it on hearthpwn so people will help me refine it and maybe they could also become more interested experimenting new archetypes" but NOOOOO that was too much. As soon he posted the decklist everyone Copy+ Pasted it on Hearthstone without even reading the guide and the tech inclusions explanation. Now it's a tier 1 deck (tier 2 for some sites) and the guy who invented it is hated by the rest of the community (despite he brought back an old deck thanks to his mind/hard work). Good job netdeckers, good job...
Nope, my point is that people should stop posting decks if this is the result. And in any case, I have never copied a deck on internet. The only reason I am subscibed in hearthpwn are threads and news. If I search for a deck or a meta snapshot isn't because I want to copy it, but because I want to know how to mulligan against that class, and it works 99% because all people run the SAME EXACTLY DECKLIST. What a herd of sheeps...
This is so stupid - have you never played a card game before? There isn't a single card game in existence that doesn't work this way - there are always archetypes decks that perform far above others, and there will always (and SHOULD always) be people that follow these archetypes. Cards are printed with specific synergies, so while there is technically a near "unlimited" number of decks that can be created, there are a finite number of properly "synergistic" decks.
This will always be the case in card games - I recommend you find a new genre to start playing.
Yes buuut KnC is out from half a year. Why people has just discovered now this archetype? And why now everyone is playing THIS EXACTLY DECKLIST? I mean, of course there should be archetypes in a card game but people don't experiment them and this get me crazy because now players instead of thinking with their own minds just search on internet for a tier 1 decklist and copy every single card without paying attention if that was a tournament or ranked deck neither if the streamer who posted it had trouble with certain archetypes and decided to include as many tech cards. Please, at least read my post and don't downvote it just because you downvoted the two before. If I have been offensive and/or have offended anyone, excuse me, that wasn't my goal.
nice deck!! great that it kicks paladin butt with dreadlord.
Zola is overkill, the stat swapping demon is a much better slot filler there.
you can still beat all those deck though. it's not like it's hopeless. also it's very fast and wins. this is why it's tier 1. it has gotten loads of people to legend.
I didn't really mess with the deck much till this week, but I can see exactly why it's rated so high. It's relatively cheap, is probably the fastest zoo deck, ever, it has good synergy with the game plan of zoo, and it heals you on top of that as a bonus. you can lethal from hand with lifedrinkers and soulfire, even if there are taunts up... the deck is pretty awesome really.
Cool point though. Heal zoo has actually been around since april, albeit in a slightly different version. The ghoul and lightwarden thing had been tried out in early WW though. There is a deck on here to prove it.
The reason why its hyped at the moment is because it wins most matches due to mismulligans of their opponents. According to tempostorm it is considered Bottom Tier 2, so that's what i was referring to. But yeah, the meta is shifting constantly, so it could be better or worse now. The problem is that most decks with good board clears or stall tools can easily stall Heallock out, when he doesnt hit the dreamcurve.
Odd Rogue is supposed to be pretty good against it so I'm trying to play that. I have been wanting to play rogue for a while so is a good time... now if only I had not dusted my greenskin last week to make an epic for a deck *facepalms* that card is seriously good in odd rogue. I just have to hope stranglethorn does well for me and then I won't have to hang myself.
you might just be facing decks that hard counter it. If you are not too familiar with zoo decks this could be contributing also.
you might want to watch some other players with the deck, and even check out trumps "zoo" guide from a couple of years ago as it still stands now.
You want to get the face within range of lethal from hand, while still making value trades. You can use void ripper to flip your taunts to take out their taunts and push lethal. it will turn cards like sleepy dragon into a card that can be taken out by anything 4 attack or higher.
The deck is very popular right now though, so expect people to be muligaining specifically for this deck.
I don't know at what rank you are playing (KingTerrapin). But i was recently on rank 18. I played this deck and rised to rank 14,1 star from 13. I lost just twice,i have had so much winning streaks. This deck is mad bro. I won against tempo mage,token druid,and evelock several times. And i went 5-1 against odd pala
