Hello Hearthpwn,

Here is my take on a slightly modified Discard Zoo deck for the new MSG meta. I've switched up a few cards in an attempt to both keep up with Pirate Warrior and outrace Jade decks.

A few notable changes:

-2 Knife Juggler
-1 Darkshire Councilman
-1 Darkshire Librarian

+1 Power Overwhelming
+1 Crystalweaver
+1 Acidic Swamp Ooze
+1 Leeroy Jenkins

These changes were made because I felt like Knife Juggler is too slow for the current meta, and I needed to make room for Acidic Swamp Ooze and Leeroy Jenkins. Only running 1 Power Overwhelming because they can sometimes be discovered by Dark Peddler.

Mulligan Guide:

If you don't have a 1 drop, throw away your whole hand. 1 drop priority order is Flame Imp > Voidwalker > Malchezaar's Imp > Possessed Villager > Abusive Sergeant. 

Keeping Abusive Sergeant if you have another 1 drop is not a bad idea, especially vs decks with a strong turn one drop (e.g. Tunnel Trogg)

Always keep Acidic Swamp Ooze against warrior and shaman and sometimes against hunter.

Keeping Defender of Argus against warrior is not a bad idea either.

Gameplay tips:

This section will not be indepth as it has been talked about in just about every other Zoo decklist. Just make favorable trades with Abusive Sergeant and position your Dire Wolf Alpha properly. Lifetap is your friend, use it wisely.

It is not a bad thing to go to rope as you are learning the deck so you give yourself enough time to make the best play you can on each turn.

Please let me know what you think in the comment section!

Good luck on your climb,
