From the moment I saw the release of High Priestess Jeklik I knew that adding her to a heal zoolock would be busted. I crafted her Sunday night 12/16/2018 and by Tuesday night I went from rank 5 to rank 1. Today (12/20/2918) Jeklik took me to legend!
This deck has the strategy of most heal zoolock decks but focuses on getting Jeklik in hand and then discarding her to multiply her for the rest of game. I keep at least two copies of her in hand as long as possible so I always have a target for discard. The soulwarden adds great late game value and can even add 3 more Jekliks to your hand. Jeklik keeps all of her buffs which gives you incredible value if she is hit with Keleseth or a soul infusion. She helps me out last late game decks by filling my hand.
it was the most fun I’ve ever had with a zoo deck (let’s be honest they can be boring if they are all aggro), but this deck packs aggro speed with a powerful late game option. It’s been fun to use a new Rastakhan legend and to play a deck that I never once saw on my climb to legends it felt pretty unique and it was highly successful against all Hunter decks (thanks nerfs for letting me feast on the Hunter meta). Give it a try and ask any questions if you have them.
I added jeklik to the Standard healzoo Decks and it is also Working Really well.
Playing with 2 soulfire and 1 doomguard.
Faced a lot of Beast ans spellhunter and it helps a lot when your Start isn't Perfect .
Im gonna try your deck now.
I was trying to discard him buffed so he really can heal you up
But against mages zoolock is still too weak imo
Giving this a try! It looks fun to play.
Awesome! Let me know how it works for you!
You can only discard her through doomgard or soularium, right? And if you have other cards in hand, its not a guarantee. How did you manage the deck? Did you wait for Doomgard and keep Jeklik in hand for that moment?
Cheers
So you can discard Jeklik through: 2 soulfires, 2 doomguards, and 1 reckless diretroll, you can also high roll and discard through soularium (but I never counted on that because that is all luck based). I started with just the two doomguards and soulfires and found that it had plenty of discard. I added the reckless diretroll because I found that voidwalker was the most underwhelming card in the deck to draw and I got rid of one of them.
Jeklik just gives the deck a lot of late game value. I will always keep her if possible in my starting hand and then try to hit her with a soul infusion. Then I will hold her as long as I can and discard her. It is a zoo deck so my hand was almost always small as you can play cards quickly. Once you have two or three of her in your hand you can hit her with almost every discard. Remember that she is a late game win condition and that as a zoo deck you do not want to sacrifice tempo. I still use soul infusion on other minions and will still use soulfire even if i'm not holding Jeklik just because I do not want to lose tempo. The soulwarden is great for late game, and if you have discarded Jeklik a couple times, he can give you a bunch of Jeklik's back (although his are never still buffed). Honestly it does not seem too different from a regular Heal Zoo deck but it plays a lot different when you really get Jeklik going. Good luck and if you try it out I would like to hear what your thoughts are. Again it took me from rank 5 to legend in four days and I was busy with work and a baby this week too haha. It is a fun twist and it is enjoyable to play a deck that you don't see often on the ladder.
Really an enjoyable deck! Only problem I have is with control warlock where I cannot push through the last 6 or 7 health and a spell breaker would be golden. Did you experiment with a silence?
I haven’t but if you did I am not sure what I’d take out.. probably the reckless diretroll.. if you try something out let me know how it goes!
Also as a zoo deck some of the decks you face you truly have to rush them, such as control warlock and the old taunt Druid.
YOLO?
what do you mean?
Ill never understand the point of discard warlock without the quest.
I think for this deck the quest would slow you down. I don’t think you want to give up the extra card you could draw for the quest. Now maybe the quest would be good, I’m a free to play player that hit legend with this deck so I will not be crafting the quest that rotates out in April. But discolock has always been tier 3 at best. This is based off heal zoolock with a small discard package in it. Basically I just added Jeklik and from there the deck was that much better. Then I playtested adding a reckless diretroll and soulwarden. Those are the only 3 cards that I switched from my original heal zoo.
