Legend proof: http://imgur.com/Xt3nBYp Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/innovator320http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/371132-legend-peddler-zoo Total stats to reach legend: http://imgur.com/56niTIt(stats in this post are not 100% accurate as the games I played on my cellphone are not included.. my percent vs Pally for example is higher than shown.)

I grinded through many Paladin decks to reach rank 5 with this secret hunter

I tried to use this deck to get through to legend, but found far less Paladin in ranks 4 and up, as well as warrior being an annoying match-up. The introduction of LOE was around this time as well and Reeno decks slowed down the meta a bit.

I then found success with this

Peddler is not going to be overly flashy, but it is a 2 drop you always want to draw, in a similar way to Mad Scientist. Unlike Mad Scientist you get an immediate effect rather than having to wait for the death-rattle.

The inclusion of Kel'Thuzad is to help vs freezemage and give my deck some more staying power vs control and mid-range as a whole.

Mulligans and Decision Making:

Vs almost every match-up you want to mulligan away anything that is not: zombie chow, peddler, creeper, flame imp, voidwalker

The exceptions to this rule would be:

  • If you already have a (1 and 2 drop) or (1 drop and coin) then you can keep Imp gang boss.

  • If you have a egg with an enabler, never keep one without the other.

Vs each match-up you want to control the board similarly to any other zoo deck. The interactions you want to keep in mind:

  • Sergeant + big game hunter for match-ups without 7 power minions

  • Loatheb and Kel'Thuzad to buy you 2 turns vs freeze mage

  • Also when you want to burst down your opponent keep in mind what peddler could get you: (power overwhelming #3, or soulfire)

  • Vs warrior Keep as much pressure on them as possible without over-committing into Brawl, this match-up is difficult and will feel unwinnable, but if you play as grindy of a game as possible using your hero power you can win.

The list might not be perfect since I just went on a win-streak straight up to legend with it, so I didn't have to make any changes. Match history: http://imgur.com/u8Ys5Wk

If anyone has any success with my lists or have some tweaks to improve on them please let me know :)
