Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out the deck!
I reached rank 3 with this deck yesterday (Oct. 19) starting at rank 12 with 0 stars. I have a win/loss ratio of 37/13. This deck does really well against most meta decks, but you might struggle against decks that can out tempo you.

I found myself playing against a lot of Keleseth Rogues and Zoolocks/Handlocks. In the aggro matchups, it's important to gain control of the board in the first 3-4 turns. Once you have control, then you can just run it into face because you will more than likely out tempo them. Clear the board as necessary.
In the control matchups, try and build up a board without exhausting your hand. Get as much value out of your minions as possible. Also make sure to squeeze in as much face damage as possible. The longer the game goes, the more in their favor it will be.
I am more than happy to create a complete detailed guide to this deck if that is what the people want!

Great deck, brought me to rank 12 now. However I'm going to try and Swap out Doomguard for Cobalt Scalebane, I find myself discarding Bloodreaver Gul'dan a little to often.
Also removed 2x Defender of Argus and put in a Vicious Fledgling + another Saronite Chain Gang
Might aswell replace the [card]Malchezaar's Imp[/card] with [card]Acherus Veteran[/card]
I think is my time to spend that 10000 dust and craft Bloodreaver Gul'dan
I only miss Prince Keleseth, is it worth it to craft him if I'm on a budget?I mean so far into this expansion cycle so I'm unsure about it.
This deck is brutal...
If you use it correctly, it can be very useful. The large amount of one cost minions in the deck and the synergy with cards like saronite chain gang both mean this card can be devastating if played properly.
I took out the mortal coil for 2nd saronite. over all it's a great take on the new zoo deck with keleseth.
Any posible replacement for Prince Keleseth ?
You do know this whole deck revolves around Prince Keleseth?
Whit that said, I recommend playing a regular zoodeck, if you want to play Zoolock and don't have dust for Keleseth.
I've won plenty of games with a similar kind of deck without Keleseth. You will want to focus on buffing your minions in whatever way you can and making sure you can maintain board. I would recommend you play with cards like Dire Wolf Alpha and Cobalt Scalebane.
Advice: Take out the Mortal Coil, the Bloodreaver Gul'dan, the x2Malchezaar's Imp and the x2Fire Fly. In your case you can also remove the Prince Keleseth. So you have 7 cards you need to replace. Replace them with x2Acherus Veteran, x2Dire Wolf Alpha, x2Cobalt Scalebane, and x1 more Saronite Chain Gang
any replacements for southsea captain?
Leeroy works for me, rank 5
is southsea captain needed? only cards I don't have, and I'm slightly apprehensive about crafting them in case I can do without. any advise would be amazing. thanks
PS: deck looks great, very similar to my discard zoolock deck.
EDIT: I like vicious fledgling, so any room for that card do you think? also spellbreaker (just 1 will do) can come in very useful.
replacements for Malchezaar's Imp ? i don't have Karezhan :(
Acherus Veteran
without malchezaars imp you could substitute a few discard cards as well
love this deck! even shit ton of miss play I've made with this deck, still win. Gul'dan the MVP.
This deck and all Keleseth dependent decks are extremely frustrating to play. they are heavily rng influenced. There is only about a 15% chance that you draw keleseth even with a mulligan of all cards, which is highly recommended with this deck. i have played over 100 hands with this deck and loterally had 10 consecutive hands of not only not drawing him in the opener or mulligan but even not drawing him at all before I lose. Then you have the other cards in the deck which require a discard like soul fire and doom guard which are almost unplayable when you are holding a Bonemare or Guldan. There is an important decision to be made there but when statistically you are likely to discard a bonemare or guldan it is a poor decision to make and again heavily rng based. If you get a string of good rng, with the bonus from consecutive wins, you can easily reach rank 10 and up but this is mostly luck. And that is why the deck is so frustrating. There is always going to be rng in this game but when your deck practically requires (at rank 11 and up) a card to appear early in the game along with the rng of discards for your most powerful enders it really is a poor deck. If you did well with it, consider yourself lucky. This deck is as frustrating as tempo rogue and ever more frustrating the more you play it.
the point is zoolock was a thing before keleseth. If you don't draw him just play like normal zoo
Anyone try clutchmother zavas in this deck? There are plenty of discards and you've got the imp. Nevermind I forgot he negates the prince.
