I just started a few months ago and i already have Nax and Zoo has been a good learning and fun. But since my card collection is very small, i wish to spend my money on cards instead. But people suggest to buy BRM instead, of which imp gang boss seems to be the only card that is of significance. So i wonder if this card is a must or not? If not, what is a good replacement until i save enough gold to purchase the second wing?
So if i have a choice between buying 40 packs (+ save gold for 2 wings of BRM) versus 15 packs plus BGM full adventure, what would you guys suggest?
if you only have the intention to practice zoo only for the next 2 months then I suggest the first one. Otherwise, the full BRM is also a nice experience with addition benefit of Emperor Thaurissan for combo or control decks in the future.

well, if i buy up to imp gang boss, i would’ve gotten ET too coz its in first wing.
I guess my question should be if BRM is really worth buying the whole wings for a newer player like me.

oh ye i fotgot ET is in first wing. And no BRM is not needed for new player, Naxx is much more important in every way.
I'd go for it, seeing as it's used so heavily with demon buffs etc. There's also Demonwrath which can be quite important if you end up running a demon deck.
Another thing: The conversion rate between real money and ingame gold is much, much better for the adventures, so if you want to spend limited money on the game it is always better to buy adventures with real money and get packs (or arenas) with ingame gold!!! And usually you will need cards out of all 5 wings in BRM - save the last maybe, because the dragon stuff so far made it only in 1 deck (Malylock)
On Imp Gang: yes, an optimal zoo prolly needs the card, but even a zoo without the demon synergies and Harvest Golem can get you pretty far on the ladder (given a strong pilot)
I don't like imp gang boss. He keeps getting laughed at by sen'jin shieldmasta and similar creatures. It reduces your win rate against hunter further by producing garbage...
I think of imp-gang boss as a tech card rather than a core card. He's good versus some strategies, bad vs others but by himself he doesn't do much. He's a trade-or-bad minion. Often he's even bad when he trades.
He's a HORRIBLE topdeck. You would far much rather draw a boar, especially if you have 2 power overwhelmings and 2 abusives but no targets for them, and you are about to die.
It's downright HORRIBLE in decks with voidcaller in it. If you have a voidcaller with mal'ganis and 2 gang bosses, you go out of your way to play those little weenies and by the time they're out of your hand you're dead, so you resort to gambling instead... Not running Mal'ganis in zoo/with voidcaller is irresponsible.
As topic.

Imp gang boss is the card that single-handedly revived zoo as a competitive deck. If you're looking to ladder then yes it is
Simple answer- "Yes"

It's a must in slower demon-based versions. You can still play old fast zoo without Imp Gang Boss, it's not that strong though.
I bring life and pffffffffffffff!

Hmm.....so a must for demon zoo?

Yes the best 3 drop in the game it's a must have.
Hell yes, it's the BEST 3 drop they have. It's got good stats and it's the ultimate sticky minion.

No IGB, no zoo.
As easy as that.
If you want to play zoo without imp gang boss, might I suggest Face Palladin?
I run 2 boars instead.

Honestly I don't get the hype.
