+10 votes for mulligan and general tips
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
Is Zola the Gorgon an option forVoid Ripper ?
I'm not sure. I mean what you have to look at is there something you would want to make a copy of on turn 3 or after? would making a copy of something and adding it to your hand in any kind of situation be a benefit to you?
The Void ripper serves a purpose in the deck and some people even use 2.
I'd say zola couldn't really hurt the deck as you could replace void ripper and 9 times out of 10 still come out on top. but there will be that time you have your void kid and tar dude up, and you could have used void ripper to get an extra bit of damage for lethal or to kill a minion that was gonna cause you problems. It serves a purpose in the deck and I think it's bloody hard to replace properly.
Your best bet is just adding a 2nd silence or something that is gonna help you push through damage.
I reckon Glinda is an alright choice as she has a lot of synergy in the deck. you can play a screen full of zero cost minions. if you get kele late you can buff the rest of your deck to astronomical hights etc.
The thing is this deck is supposed to try and win by like turn 7 or something, so glinda is probably too slow.
You really want a fast card. I would say to be sure either just add another spell breaker or stick with the void ripper if you have one.
There are other versions of the deck though, this one is just built to be very fast.
It's like tempo control. I think it;s the only deck like it. you always wanna trade, but you still wanna smorc face down by like turn 7. Zoo is nuts and it's actually a lot harder to play than aggro decks like odd paladin.
I haven't played this deck much. But the little I've played it Void Ripper is pretty awesome. You get that extra burst damage from a board or help it live after damaging. Zola the Gorgon I though I do see what you mean in that there's a lotta targets for it,.
To be fair, every deck loses hard to something in this meta ;)
that moment when the top deck is an aggro deck in a control meta. you look at your main decks being evenlock and big spell mage and you just know you did manage ur dust pretty well, free wins is always welcome. dont get me wrong this deck is great but its just loses hard vs my kinda of decks
If my Warlock wasn't golden already (thank you good old handlock days - how much fun you were) I'd play this.
As it is I am now leveling hunter to golden, currently with an odd deck, and am 6-3 vs Locks in the 23-18 rank NA range. Most Locks I've faced have been the healing kind but I don't know if it was this deck in particular.
But yeah, this looks good when played properly.
Could give nice synergy but I find it to expensive for 5 mana.
you're right.
this is a fast version of zoo, and zoo normally wants mostly cheap cards anyway and like maybe 1 higher cost finisher like leeroy or some sea giants (as they can be played for zero quite frequently in a token deck like zoo) a doomguard or 2. that sort of thing.
(Doomguards are better when a deck has a lot of disco synergy. We lost some disco cards like the imps which make doomguards without a skull to pull them, not the obvious choice any more. I think leeroy is better in this kind of deck right now with the support options we have avaiable to us. For instance you can glinda+portal out 3 leeroys for 9 mana for a hefty finisher of 18 damage)
I think this version is probably quite optimal, and if you wanted to start changing things, it would be better to build it from scratch.
If you wanted slower cards, just a build a slower version. You can build a slower heal zoo with some higher cost cards. I'm working on a glinda based one at the minute with the same heal mechanics for cheating out the Ghouls, but I will tend to save them till I can use them with echo, where as this version uses them for a very early tempo play.
Touche, that is certainly fun.
"creator" of deck not only gets his friends to downvote anyone who critiques him, he also does the same to anyone just trying to be friendly and advise other cards that could work in the deck.
I think you are in a discord group where you get people to downvote comments for you and I'm going to the mods about it.
I haven't spent 3 years on here building raport with players and helping to critique decks as well as having uploaded 100's myself to made to felt like this for just being friendly.
yeah some people were calling you out (I wasn't one of these people, but I am now) I'm sick to death of coming on this decks comments to see another friendly and helpful post has been downvoted because you don't want anyone suggesting other cards for the deck. it's pathetic and the quicker you are ousted for being a lying netdecker, the better mate.
There was absolutely no need for the way you have acted with people, and it's quite obvious you have an entourage of downvoters which you probably acquired through some discord group.
this has been an issue for well over three years... However the admins refuse to do a thing about it thus it creates a very toxic environment.
they do actually take the abuse of the voting system seriously and if it's reported they have ways of telling if it's being abused.
If you have any problems with it, just tell a mod, don't post about it like I did as it just paints a target on your back.
I've apologised to people and stuff now for being a dick and stuff so I think it's all good now though. ha ha.
Oh I know...however most dont report and it has created a very interesting enviroment.
Im missing Void Ripper and both Fungal Enchanter to play with this deck, i can craft both Fungal Enchanter they are commons so only cost 80dust, but im not sure to craft Void Ripper, is it really important core card for this deck? Any replacement for Void Ripper? Also there is new expansion close and dont want to waste my dust
void ripper can help you get out from hard situations but without it you should be fine.
Used this deck to climb from R9 to R5 in around 3 days. (Spent around 1 hour per day) Would recommend.
Then its good time to play evenlock to counter this deck and most ppls gonna mulligan for heal zoolock against u from now on :))
the idea has been around for a while. I know someone that plays heal zoo in wild and has for years. also we were cheating out free ghouls before this deck as well.. (I was doing it with glinda-lock weeks ago) be careful speaking out about it though as the creator and his fanboys will vote you down into oblivion :D
Some of this sites users genuinely think they're on reddit I think with their downvotes. I hate reddit and I hate the downvote system on here. you know like after having a really bad day in the real world you find out your profile has gotten like 20 downvotes because someone doesn't agree with suggestions you made for a deck for cutting the costs and using cheaper cards.. (something a lot of players want)
This tells me this "creator" is on the defensive because he feels guilty about something... he cannot differentiate between helpful advice and people calling him out on lying about creating a deck from scratch (I'm not saying he's lying btw, I'm just saying that similar decks existed before. I know it's possible to create a deck and for someone else to have made the same thing. Synergy is limited afterall and we will all sail towards the optimal)
The only reason I'm chiming in as this is a very popular deck on here, and you will get downvoted for even suggesting different cards. It's extremely hostile and tbh after this post I'm probably avoiding this comments section unless one of these serial downvoters actually wants to enter into a conversation with me.
100% this guy didn't make the original version of this deck, but if you point it out to him you'll be downvoted. (I would not be surprised if he has multiple accounts tbh as the downvoting is nuts on this deck in particular.. I think it's just guys who like the deck and worship the uploader as a god tbh though.
I'm not saying he's lying or didn't make it himself, I'm saying there were versions that existed before this... that is all. It's very easy for multiple people to make a similar deck and I acknowledge this.
As far as I knew it was Japanese player that made the deck though. watch any pro players footage of this deck and they all credit the japanese player with creating this deck and going to legend day one of the season... I'm simply relaying the info from out of this website.
downvote me all you want, I'm going to report you guys anyway for misusing the downvote system. this isn't f'ing reddit.
hey guys. you think it's worth crafting a void ripper or not? I kind of wanted to craft sandbinders as mountain giant will be ele soon and it means you can draw them from your deck faster with it if the card is in the lower half of the deck.
Both cards seem great tbh. I'm just wondering like how much difference does the void ripper make to this deck? I know some people swear by it and even have 2 of them, but like I'm only seeing two cards you will benefit from having the health as attack... unless you use it more to hobble the opponents cards (I guess it plays around doomsayer as well which is really nice)
