Preface

This deck is aimed towards newer players, with the goal of creating the strongest deck possible, using as little dust as possible. Zoolock has been around since the dawn of Hearthstone, with varying levels of success. This is a version that tries to take advantage of eggs, and the self-destruction minions, such as Sanguine Reveler. The goal of the deck is to take control of the board, and overwhelm your opponent with minions until they die.

Mulligan

Flame Imp and Voidwalker are your premium 1 drops. Against other aggressive decks, the first isn't quite as good, and the latter becomes even better, so keep that in mind. Beyond that, you mostly just want as many 1 drops as you can get.

Gameplan

This deck, like most other Zoolock variants, wants to deny your opponent of as much board control as possible. You might have to use resources slightly inefficiently to do so. This is fine, you can refill your hand later with your hero power. But you want that board control. Once you have it, dictate trades, and get in chip damage. If you think a board clear is about to come down, that's the perfect time to drop an egg. Did they not have the board clear? Activate it yourself! Against slower decks, turn 3 Devilsaur Egg into turn 4 Ravenous Pterrordax can be game winning. The tricky part about this deck is not breaking your own eggs if a board clear is about to come down. 

Improvement

Archerus Veteran and Blood Imp are a bit weak, so feel free to replace them with Knife Juggler or a second Doomguard. Wanna take this deck to the next level? Take out all the two drops, and add in Prince Keleseth.
