Hello!
I just hit rank 1 on EU! Check my demon zoo list here: hearthpwn.com/decks/236381-brm-rank-1-eu-demon-zoo
I'm part of the Double Dutch Dragons team and climbed from rank 7 to legend in only 7 hours with this list. With a win rate of over 70% (Might be more, but I didn't keep track) I am currently rank 18 Legend on EU.
The moment I saw Quick Shot I knew it would become a great addition to the face hunter strategy. I replaced Haunted Creeper with Quick Shot, since it's much faster and isn't a dead draw when you actually need the damage. Other changes include adding a second Ironbeak Owl and a Snake Trap. I always felt like 1 Ironbeak Owl wasn't enough to get past Sludge Belcher and other taunts. The Snake Trap can catch your opponent off guard and get in a lot of damage. It also insures you getting value from the Mad Scientist.
General strategy:
Obviously go face as much as possible, but don't be a retard and go face when you have a really good trade. Remember to be mana efficient every turn, and if you can squeeze in your hero power without losing too much tempo, go for it. For example: It might be better to play Animal Companion + hero power on turn 6 instead of Animal Companion + Eaglehorn Bow. So you can follow up with Eaglehorn Bow + hero power + 2 drop on turn 7. Every damage counts and you will find yourself winning with exact lethal or being 1 damage off lethal most of the time.
Mulligan guide: Without coin
Mulligan aggresively for a one drop, both Leper Gnome and Abusive Sergeant are always keeps. Other then those two cards, Mad Scientist is the best 2 drop to keep. Against warrior it is fine to keep Ironbeak Owl as well, so you can silence the early Armorsmith. If you have a one drop and an Animal Companion in your opening hand, it is fine to keep both. Since there's a big chance you will draw into a 2 drop. In the worst case you can play Leper Gnome turn 1, turn 2 hero power and turn 3 Animal Companion. You generally want to throw away all the damage spells such as SKill Command, Quick Shot and most obviously your secrets, since you want to get those from the Mad Scientist.
With coin
Still mulligan the same as with out the coin. Only major difference is that it's fine to keep a double 2 drop when you have the coin. For example Knife Juggler + Mad Scientist. Or Mad Scientist + Glaivezooka.
Other notes
- Don't be greedy and do non value plays just so you can get a draw from the Quick Shot. It is perfectly fine to play it as a 3 face damage card.
- Always count up all the damage in your hand for about 3 turns ahead. This way you will know how much you can afford to trade, while aiming for lethal damage within the next few turns.
- Obviously only make the favorable trades, for example: Your Leper Gnome into his Knife Juggler. Or clearing a mech when you can expect Goblin Blastmage on turn 4. It's not always face guys ;).
This should give you a general idea of how to play with this deck. There is still a ton of stuff I haven't covered in this guide such as specific class matchups, but I might update that if this deck gets more views :).
Cheers, and have fun facetards!
Follow me on twitch.tv/tylerootd for the stream.
*Tune in Saturday 18 April. At 13:00 PM CEST (European time) for the climb to #1 :)
Hey Tylerootd, first of all thanks for posting your deck! I am also playing on EU, but I can't get past rank 4 with it. I know im doing something wrong then ofc :). Could you maybe allow me to spectate a few of your games? Or giving me more tips? Thanks in advance :) +1

Why not a Reckless Rocketeer
Argent Commander or Arcane Golem work well.
Lol, trollin much!
People really underestimate what haunted creeper does for the deck. Without it, you're really lacking beasts to activate kill command. It's also good for repetitive damage and can usually get in 3-4 damage throughout the game (same as wolfrider/arcane golem usually) because no one wants to waste 3 attacks removing the thing so they just let it stay alive most of the time.
I was thinking exactly the same as you.
Thanks for the deck, do you think Knife Juggler is necessary? Would it be better off with maybe 2x Argent Squire?
Knife jungler Is one of the best card in a face hunter deck. one of the only real board removal you have. other than explosion trap.
Legend on EU = Ranked 20 on NA.
Cant play what? face hunter? lol a New born baby could play that deck.
Holding cards in your hand doesn't make your deck more complex, this game is simple even at its greatest depth. The argument that face hunter is "simple" is a retarded commentary on the game's mechanic itself, not on the deck or its players.
Lol you do realise that NA is a joke? More like Legend on EU = Not even achievable on NA
Yes the game is simpler by design, but holding cards involves thinking about their application instead of just throwing everything against face the moment you draw it - which is basically how face hunter plays.
The power of face hunter lies in being difficult to counter and then hard to recover from the damage.
Hmm interesting deck indeed!
May I just ask you why you excluded Worgen Infiltrator? This deck seems so lack some solid T1 plays and Worgen is a guaranteed AT LEAST 2 damage 1 Mana card, and it also interacts very well with Glaivezooka which this deck runs 2 off.
Anyways, I really dig this deck, especially the 2xQuick Shot which has otherwise been a little tricky to successfully fit in :)
huh. Interesting. I always liked haunted creeper + glaive zooka but i guess it isn't that good otherwise.
I don't have Leeroy, was thinking maybe reckless rocketeer could work..?
6 mana for 5 damage is not good enough. Use another Wolfrider :)
All you need to know! TL:DR version of how to play this deck lol
Hi, playing on eu here... do you offer any coaching? like just spectating a few games would be fine, i cant seep to get past rank 5..
