We all have an extremely big danger for all humanity. We saw how strong men and women around the world fallen by this ruthless virus, one by one. Sorry for this offtop, but that remind me a power of this card.
This card win Big/Ramp Druid, Resurrect Priest and Big Shaman, zoo's worst matchups. When they spam their big threat, like Convincing Infiltrator or Khartut Defender or Winged Guardian or Scrapyard Colossus even Walking Fountain under Ancestral Spirit - u play Magic Carpet or use Rocket Augmerchant on Infectious Sporeling. That big guys know that warlock have a problem with deathrattle, reborn and "Can't be targeted by spells or Hero Powers" effects. And they already won. They invincible. But that little guy show them meaning of "the greater the wardrobe, the louder is its fall".
How to play.
Always mulligan Imprisoned Scrap Imp. Save 1 first drop only vs DH. Vs other classes u can change all cards try to find our core card, except u have Expired Merchant and Hand of Gul'dan together.
Ideal situation: with coin - first turn with coin play Imprisoned Scrap Imp. Then tap. And third turn u have a very strong board. With minions like Guardian Augmerchant and Rocket Augmerchant u can fight immediately (kill creatures with 1 health, or give rush and trade with yours) or cover behind 3/5 Voidwalker.
If u haven't coin, wait second turn to play Imprisoned Scrap Imp . And try to tap on third turn with 1 drop if necessary. 4th turn will be very strong board.
Try to use Expired Merchant and Nightshade Matron with Hand of Gul'dan for more units to buff before our core demon awaken.
When u haven't got Imprisoned Scrap Imp on first 2 turns - play like standart zoo version. Spam the board. Fight for the board. Try to use much value playing Flame Imp with Darkglare or Diseased Vulture. Dont play two Diseased Vulture at once vs Galakrond Lock (mass removal) or DH(afraid of Altruis the Outcast ). Keep second to restore the new board after clear.
So. I got my first legend with this deck.
I have almost 100 % winrate vs Resurrect Priests and Druids.
Big Shamans a little bit harder if they have all mass removal from turn 4. I meat one and win with 3 health, when infect his Walking Fountain under Ancestral Spirit with Infectious Sporeling under divine shield and rush.
I play 8 times vs DHs, and loose only once. DHs and Galakrond Rogues can't keep board vs our waves of evil on turn 3, 4, 5.
Galakrond Warlock is a tough one, if we mulligan Imprisoned Scrap Imp - we win. Otherwise - very hard.
So good luck to all of U and take care of yourself and your homies.
Thanks for your time.
U can check a video with description and some gameplay with this deck by Kaddak
Some changes for more survival:
One additional card I made was 1 living dragonbreath. This screws over frost mages so bad. Was sick of lethals escaping me because of frost mages!
I got up to Diamond 5 with this deck but now coming across some really heavy control decks or super agro in warrior or Demon hunter. Even with thier latest nerfs I'm doing more damage to myself :(
I play a version of this deck (20-6 so far).
I find Lorewalker Cho to be very useful in a version of this deck. Having Cho out has won me more games than not. When he comes out, most opponents go right after him, so my other minions are protected. And if they leave him up, I just love all the spells I get. You just need to know how to get rid of him when ya need to start casting all the free spells ya got. :)
Thank you very much for this idea! I got my first Legend with this deck, the base idea is amazing and so much fun. Changes I made:
-2 Fiendish servant +2 Sacrifical Pact (amazing against DH)
-1 Neferset Trasher +1Twisted Knowledge (nice discover, gives some solutions against warlock and DH, also you can discover even Scrap imp or Hand of Guldan if not drawn)
started playing from diamond 8 with this deck. thanks again :D
Edit, they nerfed Sac Pact badly, not recommended now... :(
Hi. TY for a comment and GJ with legend beating!
All nerfs make this deck stronger. First, nerf of Sac Pact give us an advantage vs GalaLocks(tough matchup). Now they can't kill our buffed demons for free. Second, every DH's nerfs good news for all others classes. And our warlock zoo can be even more fast than DH.
So, there's a new breath for zoolock decks. Now there's tier S deck.
im at diamond 7 and i played 7 games i am 6-1 right now insane deck if you learn the mechanics a lot of zoo is timing knowing when to wait for your scrap imp and when to push faced with soul fires. if some =one teaches me how to screen shot on hrseplay tracker i will post the win-rate
this never wins against any control decks (rez priest, spell mage, big druid, DH,etc)
terrible terrible deck sorry
You just have to be quicker than them and have a big board early and be lucky as well with a good draw but the deck is not terrible in that regard.
This deck is definitely not top tier. It can win vs priest though because of the infectious sporeling. The thing with this deck is that it can get out huge boards an opponent cannot deal with but if you get a slow start you just die. It's not very good vs heavy control decks and often it's too slow compared to face decks unless you get out a big board (but then you may be forced to trade or die anyway on turn 5 or 6 because coining out a dormant minion can result in you having no early game presence and could be dead on turn 3 or 4).
I've been absolutely crushing the ladder with a similar decklist.
-2 Thrasher, -2 Vulture, - 1 Carpet
+2 EVIL Genius, + 2 Faceless Corruptor , +1 Zephrys
I don't think you want the self-damage package. It's not good vs DH, and since you can sustain 10+ turns, it can definitly become a problem. Faceless Corruptors and Genius are both great with Imp, and Zeph is a great finisher or a vanilla 3/2 depending on when you draw him. I don't really think Carpet is necessary with Rocket + Lackeys able to give rush already.
You have to know how to play the deck. ALWAYS mulligan for Hand + Imp. Keep a 1-drop or a nice 1-2 curve if you have it, otherwise always look for those cards. If you have Hand, you'll find a way to discard, but don't keep the discards without Hand. Opening Imp is strongest play, and it's ok to be a little greedy vs some decks, but vs DH you generally need to contest the board as well. You can also use Merchant to 2x a Corruptor when you're waiting for your Imp to wake up, which can be a very strong play.
Hey, could you post your full list, please? You got me interested. =D

Yea the damage package isn't working. You just auto lose vs DH. I think the poster just got lucky. I have won against some DH sometimes but if they draw any kind of decent curve you just lose and there is nothing you can do outside some sort of god draw where you draw all your taunts and magic carpet and don't draw flame imps.
I'm playing with this deck with lackeys and its works fine :D
Replace self damage section with lackeys.
Fun little deck, love turning everything to spores it’s so annoying.lol
this deck doesnt work for me i guess , wasted my dust and time , go play ramp druid
Hey guys, I have everything crafted besides Diseased Vulture. Any ideas for good replacements?? Also considering we're replacing Diseased Vulture should I ditch Neferset Thrasher?? - Thanks
Hi. Try put some strong tempo cards like Faceless Corruptor and Evasive Feywing instead Neferset Thrasher. But u loose ur wave generation. With Diseased Vulture u can keep pressure few turns in a row, even if opp clear you board. Maybe try to add lackey package. But that's a different story)
Nice deck man, I had exaclty the same idea with Infectious haha. I play lackey instead of Imprisonned Scrap imp because i found that too risky if they are bottom deck
With Pharaon and King lackey you have a nice end game, but less explosiv than your version with Imp
Zoo is back guys !
I can't get Fiendish Servant × 2
Is it viable to use Blazing Battlemage x 2 instead?
