Total Deck Rating
222
Stats speak for themselves. This deck took me from Rank 5 to rank 1 on the first day of the expansion. In total I have played 100 games with the deck, with only 1 card substitution along the way. It does very well against Druid and Priest and only has a losing record against warrior and rogue. I had an 11 game winning streak from Rank 2 - Mid Legend ranks. Mulligans updated below. I will do a more in depth strategy guide at 200 likes.
Mulligans
In all matchups, keep Prince Keleseth, Bloodsail Corsair, and Flame Imp if drawn. This deck wins 72% of the time when Keleseth is in the opening hand. The 2nd best card to keep is Bloodsail Corsair, 3rd is tie between Flame imp and Mortal Coil. Darkshire councilman can be kept in non-agro matchups.
Warrior - Always assume its pirate. Mulligan hard for Flame Imp, Blooodsail Corsair. Go for three 1-drops to match the warrior's agro and Tar Creeper.
Warlock - Keep Flame imp and Bloodsail, otherwise mulligan for Keleseth. Darkshire Councilman can be kept as well.
Shaman - Assume it is token/evolve. Mulligan for flame imp and mortal coil.
Rogue - Assume miracle. Mulligan for 1-drops.
Priest - Mulligan for Keleseth hard. Be careful not to play into Potion of Madness. After turn 5, favor tapping over playing 1-drops. Get Scalebane and Dreadlord onto the board when drawn.
Paladin - Assume it is murloc. Keep multiple 1-drops, control the board.
Mage - Keep 1-drops. Watch out for doomsayer combo turn 5+.
Hunter - Keep 1-drops and mortal coil. You need to win the board early.
Druid - If you suspect agro, keep 1-drops and tar creeper. If you suspect ramp, keep Councilman and 1-drops.
Substitutions
Possessed Villager can be subbed out for a 2nd Sea Giant, Bonemare, or Mortal Coil. The 2nd weakest card is Fire Fly which can be replaced with any of the above 3 cards. I have not tried The Black Knight, but he would improve odds in some matchups. Doomguard has not worked well for me, but may be a good addition if you can live with seemingly always discarding Gul'dan.

This deck is bad vs priest and druid, sadly its the 2 main used classes right now. vs druid you get wrecked by plague and vs priests horror and potion
Sorry, but this deck actually sucks.
Its good against every deck but jade druid and all kinds of priest. When your deck is bad against like 50% of the people in the meta, its just bad...
Agree
Useless vs priest, completly useless. Is better surrender at the begginin
I admit that is a really fun deck, and strong vs any class except Priest and Druid. And is not only my opinion.
Yes, for that reason i said that is strong except every class, except druid and priest :)
I have faced this deck 5 times on ladder by 5 different players.All of them bmed like their life depended on it and added me to flame when i crushed them with my controllock deck .I hope this gets more popular.Whiping bming zoolocks' boards is something that i missed dearly. :D
replacement for Prince?
pretty solid deck. But really bad against priest.
been playing zoolock/discolock for 2 years, only thing i want to say : "FUCK all the priest!!! stupid class with their stupid dragon deck!!"
Even without [card]Prince Keleseth[/card] Corsair + Patches on turn 1 its a really good opener for aggro.
Quite good deck. It struggles a bit vs "plague of druids" but still, it manages to go toe to toe with them and it has some success. It depents on Druid's hand tho.
OMg, i have all the cards, i must try this :)
Usually make it to rank 5-1 but was struggling to find a food hold this season for some reason, was able to piece together some win streaks with this deck. Pretty solid. The DK really is the MVP here, you dont expect it in a zoo deck it works well. Made one change -1 Sea Giant +1 Ravenous Pterrordax
Fucking patches i dont wanna craft it :(
nice deck!
yesterday i fought similar deck with Prince Keleseth played that round.
but lucky me, i often draw taunt card and won the game.
if not, i might loose that game.
Didn't have Sea Giant so I used Lich King. Drew Army of the dead... mage conceded next round :)
Playing this deck on rank 17 atm, doing very well, just crushed jade druid with a legend card back. Feelsgoodman since my best rank ever was 14. Thumbs up!
I don' think you can replace that card. Its probly one of the best legendaries in the game :p.
You would also have to cut both Bloodsail Corsairs and put I dunno Abusive Sergeants or something like that (I don't know this deck so I've no idea, that's my guess).
