Well, first time legend, figured id make a post about my deck. I thought it was kind of obvious, but its incredible how many people aren't running it, or are running some terrible variation.
I was 2 stars in rank 5 this morning. I worked a full day today. I would say I hit legend in about 4 hours at about an 80% winrate, 90%+ vs non zoo.
Full explanation of card choices in the deck description.
I find that Power Overwhelming works nicely with Nerubian Egg. This deck can win some games, but, I'd make a few modifications. Tried and true concept, so far.
Ya, I have to agree with the power overwhelming and neruibian egg. However it works even better when you add a void terror to the mix to eat the neruibian egg after it's attacked.
I don't agree about the Void Terror. That's a 3 card combo which can be silenced.
Re: the deck, I'm running a similar build and having a ton of success with it... Don't want to spoil my particular breed of it until I hit legend. (/praying)
I would expect to see lots of Zoos on ladder in the next few days this close to the end of season, especially after this thread. Have fun with the mirror matches guys!
well since no one apparently opened my reasoning for my picks, i guess ill copy paste it here. in particular if you are running void terror/power overwhelming/elven archer...you can do better for yourself...
Also my win rate has gone down. People have responded. The only decks that exist now are zoo, and zoo counters. Miracle actually does really well right now, because it holds its own vs zoo, and destroys the zoo counters.
the thing about this card is it is so sticky, and so you can get those DoA combos off so much easier. this is one that you could dump for another standard 3/2 or 2/3 2 drop of your choice.
this is the bubble card to me. Thats why I only have 1. its pretty solid, and gives you another card to buff the egg, but the egg is so easy to pop that doesnt really matter.
The problem with this card is the only way you run it is if you are also running scarlet crusader instead of Harvest Golem, and at that point, I think you have too many 3 drops.
the last thing this deck needs is more reach, I beat a handlock on like turn 17, you never run out of gas with this deck, the only way you lose is from getting behind, for example by having your hand filled with cards like this.
only good in a combo, much better to just buff a 2/1 or whatever up than to rely on the 0/4. also much easier to do without when you only have 1 dire wolf.
The archer is better in early stage. That 1/1 body is really useful in the early game to clean up some sticky minions like Harvest Golem. Also good target for Dire Wolf Alpha ang Argus buff. Mortal coil has better top deck value in late game, but a considerable tempo loss if used in early game.
If mortal coil were 100% guaranteed to draw wisp, that's Elven Archer. Every card in zoo deck is better than wisp. Unless you think Wisp is good, that is the end of the argument.
Take this with a grain of salt since I started at rank 25 but just rattled off 15 straight wins with this deck then lost to priest who got injured + circle combo, plus auchenai + another circle + another auchenai + cabal shadow priest.
I disagree. The only way the Void Terror is going to be silenced is if he top decks it since 9 times out of 10 if my opponent can silence my egg he does so.
its still a deck reliant on a multi card combo when it just isnt necessary, and the multi card combo gets you one fat minion, when the whole point of zoo is to always keep your board stocked with enough minions to be able to use your battlecries to trade efficiently.

EDIT: Before you go start a QQ thread about this deck, realize its going to come back to earth on tuesday
Look like a good deck. Thanks for sharing! :)

You must have been incredibly lucky or this is total BS. I'm using similar deck and hovering between rank 4-5 at about 55% winrate.
Sometimes just 2 cards make a lot of difference.
Also, a good deck doesn't make a good player. Skill > Luck.
Unless explicitly stated, my posts are my opinion and mine only.
unless you're Amaz lololol
I'm surprised by the 1 DWA. Glad it did so well for you. Grats on legend.
There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count and those that can't.
I find that Power Overwhelming works nicely with Nerubian Egg. This deck can win some games, but, I'd make a few modifications. Tried and true concept, so far.

I'm skeptical. I've done very well with Zoo in this game, and this deck is lacking in a few things. There's some good elements in there, but still.
That is ridiculous. The amount of rng and luck that is hardwired in the game doesn't allow consistent winrates of 80-90%+.
I know a guy who went from rank 5 to legend with a 87% winrate using EggZoo. It's definitely possible.

Mortal Coil
Its a draw for 1 mana...whats not to like?
Haunted Creeper
the thing about this card is it is so sticky, and so you can get those DoA combos off so much easier. this is one that you could dump for another standard 3/2 or 2/3 2 drop of your choice.
Dire Wolf Alpha
this is the bubble card to me. Thats why I only have 1. its pretty solid, and gives you another card to buff the egg, but the egg is so easy to pop that doesnt really matter.
Ironbeak Owl
counters other Zoo, silence that egg!
[b]Cards I dont have in the deck[/b]
Void Terror
you dont need more to pop your egg, and building around void terror is a cheese deck, which isnt even close to as good as this.
Elven Archer
This is the WORST card i see people regularly run. It is straight up worse than mortal coil. a draw is better than a 1/1.
Scarlet Crusader
sure fine, replace harvest golem with this. I like golem better.
Blood Knight
The problem with this card is the only way you run it is if you are also running scarlet crusader instead of Harvest Golem, and at that point, I think you have too many 3 drops.
Faerie Dragon Amani Berserker
these cards are fine to replace haunted creeper with. I think Dragon is much better than berserker though.
Argent Commander Leeroy Jenkins
the last thing this deck needs is more reach, I beat a handlock on like turn 17, you never run out of gas with this deck, the only way you lose is from getting behind, for example by having your hand filled with cards like this.
Leper Gnome
no. this is a midrange deck not a burn deck.
Shieldbearer
only good in a combo, much better to just buff a 2/1 or whatever up than to rely on the 0/4. also much easier to do without when you only have 1 dire wolf.
Young Priestess
so weak, bleh.
The archer is better in early stage. That 1/1 body is really useful in the early game to clean up some sticky minions like Harvest Golem. Also good target for Dire Wolf Alpha ang Argus buff. Mortal coil has better top deck value in late game, but a considerable tempo loss if used in early game.

Yeah, old zoo was pretty broken in the low ranks as well though. I went from rank 21 to 13 without a loss even before egg and creeper.
I disagree. The only way the Void Terror is going to be silenced is if he top decks it since 9 times out of 10 if my opponent can silence my egg he does so.
its still a deck reliant on a multi card combo when it just isnt necessary, and the multi card combo gets you one fat minion, when the whole point of zoo is to always keep your board stocked with enough minions to be able to use your battlecries to trade efficiently.
