^^ The all important proof ^^
Hello, everybody this is the zoo list I used to climb to legend for the first time. Basically it's classic zoo with Imp Gang Boss in place of harvest golem. The deck is favored against Druids and other aggro decks (including the dreaded face hunter) because you can more or less out tempo em'.
Standard Mull is one drops and 2 drops minus Owl and egg unless you have abusive with it . Imp gang is okay to keep if you curve into it.
Warriors: Standard mull keep. don't keep egg even with abusive. Keep Imp gang
Shaman: Keep imp Gang
Rouge: Don't keep egg or abusive
Paladin: Standard Mull. Haunted creeper and abusive are extra important in this match up.
Hunter: Standard mull + Keep Owl, Impgang, and keep egg even if you do not have abusive. Keep argus if you have coin and like the rest of your hand. Creeper and Void walker is extra important.
Druid: Standard mull
Warlock: Standard Mull keep owl, Egg + abusive combo is extra potent in the mirror
Mage: Standard Mull
Priest: Standard mull + Power overwhelming to deal with Deathlord and buffed creatures/ Your 3/2s are extra important to deal with Cleric.
I don't think you understand how zoo works. This deck was at the time and is still very capable of making it to legend. The point of zoo is too trade efficiently to gain board control and tempo/card advantage. You might just need to learn a bit more about how to play this deck and practice it if you want to have success, maybe try watching some streams or something. Please don't come on here and try to blame your loss on an "awful deck" when the problem is most likely the way you are playing it.
Too much face hunter?
This deck is Amazing!!! 20-5 with this deck
3-10 with this deck. what am I doing wrong?
Zoo is all about trading. Never EVER use your Abusive Sergeant or P.O. to hit face. (Dark Iron Dwarf is ok however because it also summons a 4/4 body for 4.) Use Abusive Sergeant on Leper Gnome to trade a 1 mana minion for a 4-6 mana minion! Use spells to control the board -- if you lose the board a spell can gain it back.
Personally, I put in 2 Arcane Golems as finishers. They also trade up well in the late game. Combo with P.O. for 8 burst damage for 4 mana to kill a pesky Rag/etc
Can I change the Imp gang boss guided by shredder?
Replace with Harvest Golem.
I arrived at 5 ranking with this deck. Very good!
Excellent deck! Thanks! For now I use:
-1 Clockwork Gnome
+1 Power Overwhelming
Nice and cheap....takes some skill to get it down though. Feels like what Hearthstone should be.
I lose every time to Hunter but I feel like I had some misplays. I would like to see some more explanation as to how to deal with Hunters and when to make trades, what to silence (Mad Scientist?, Creeper?, Knife Juggler, Misha) and other helpful tips as Face-Hunters seem to be rather popular. Heck, I played it up to rank 10 and could take it higher.
Seems like I was trading to take away his 4 attacks (Arcane Golem, Huffer) or his Knife Jugglers and once I have a presence, they're all but wiped out by Explosive Trap or he Unleash the Hounds and it all works against me.
I'd love to hear from anyone that has consistent success against hunters?
Hi, I had murLOCK deck and I am fell from 7 rank to 12 rank so I sold it(I am pretty new to this game, I have just naxxramas wings except last wing, so I don't have any cards except that murlocs and few others, that's why I sold them)and I was looking for new cheap deck. I was watching youtube and I found zoo deck and it looks pretty good, but there wasn't decklist so I went on this page and I found this great deck.
Some changes: - 2x Imp Gang Boss +2x Harvest Golem (I don't have any wings from BRM) -1x Clockwork Gnome + 1x Voodoo Doctor (I don't have any dust now) I'll maybe rather buy Argent Squire instead of Clockwork Gnome, what do u think about this change?
BTW: sorry for bad english (maybe)
Skolodac
Dude, thank you, i have just finished my participation in the '' copa america'' and i bringed this deck with an slight change. i won almost all games with this deck and i finisshed in the bet 32 LATAM players and passed to the next round. really, i can't describe how happy i am, and ii is thanks to you :D.
i'll say you after the tournament xD
sorry, i totally forgot this xD, i taked out the clockwork gnome and instead of him i putted a sea giant.
22 wins, 3 loses rank 9 to 4 very good deck!
Nope.I thought about void caller but it was slowing the deck imo.
Wish I could up vote this more. Everyone should practice first before ranked. It's awesome and cheap.
You must have skipped all over the place when you read his guide because it's talking about the mulligan phase. Keep the cards he says and discard the others.
In card games, when we speak about "keep" it means keep in hand at the start of the game.
What we called: "mulligan" is the process of keeping or not the cards.
Just won 7 in a row, kicked 3 mages, a druid, a rogue, a warrior, and a priest(mikeblood- nice effort with divine spirit/inner fire, but you couldn't keep up tempo with me)'s butt with this deck, thanks.
