You are right about the meta in Wild aka "The attack of the secret paladins". But dude this deck is favoured vs secret paladin. How do you think I got 3x Legend with this deck... battling paladins, paladins and more paladins. Unless they have the perfect curve, you'll have the upper hand!
However in EU (current meta) you'll have a hard time though. Other decks have risen up (Tempo warrior, Miracle rogue and N'zoth paladin/priest), making Zoo a tier 2 deck. And then there's Patron warrior and Freeze mage, both auto loss. You should hope for shaman/Tempo mage or mirror.
The new Zoo lacks sticky minions - haunted creeper and nerubian egg are greatly missed. 1 lightning storm/ fan of knives/ravaging ghoul etc and it's often game over.
Any smart opponent would just keep cleaning the board, making you stuck with a hand full of boost cards (PO, Abusive, Defender..., Gormok) which are all useless without minions on board.
The meta changed at high rank... lot's of (midrange) shaman and zoo. It's all about the early game. So I added some small sticky minions: double Flame Imp and Argent Squire.
Bilefin Tidehunter is too easily removed by raviging ghoul and swipe. Changed them for a second Dire Wolf and Flame Juggler.
Took Sea Giant out again, I keep having mixed feelings with him. You can't win the early game with him. SInce you are fighting for board presence, there aren't many minions on board. Just had a game against a Legend 300 Warlock... at turn 6 he dropped Sea Giant on his empty side and gave up. Also in games where I had him out, he was removed instantly by Hex, Execute or Shadow Word: Death.
Edit: went from rank 1 back to 3 and back to rank 1 again, at 3 stars now. Need some luck.
Reached Legend in S24 too. Below is a screenshot which include the date/time of my pc, as proof. You'll have to swap day and month as I live in Holland. I tried to climb the ladder with control warrior/secret paladin/patron warrior/renolock - without succes. So I switched back to this deck (exactly as listed - no dr.7) and reached legend within a few days. I had a loosing streak yesterday, loosing to rogue 5x times and dropped from rank 1 to 2 - well shit happens. Today it went smooth and climbed up to legend again.

How about this for Brann value, game I just played (S27)... :)))

Yep that's problably the most used combo.
Other combo's with an example of use:
Brann Bronzebeard+Abusive Sergeant on a 2-attack minion to kill dr.6
Brann Bronzebeard+Defender of Argus on Brann and a 2-attack minion will result in 2x 4-attack taunt minions similar to Twin Emperor Vek'lor perfect against Priest.
Brann Bronzebeard+Gormok the Impaler to nuke for 8 dmg. Add a Abusive Sergeant and a Power Overwhelming for 12/16 dmg. It gets even better if you can drop Loatheb the turn before.
Brann Bronzebeard+Dr. Boom on a 2-attack minion to create 4x Boom Bot (rare).

Yeah in Standard, it's just there's no room for him in this Wild deck (I prefer more sticky minions).

It's a great list.

There's nothing new here... lookup the first created Zoo list after the Old Gods release almost a month ago... it's exactly the same!

Meta changed, Zoo is no longer a tier 1 deck.

Almost there, changed the deck again.

Edit: Rank 2 now :)
Rank 3 now :)

Nice m8! I made 2 changes, added 1 Sea Giant as the deck needed a larger threat.
Edit: pulled out Flame Juggler, put Brann Bronzebeard back in and added Crazed Alchemist.
List seems refined now.
Climbing the ranks is like 'Attack of the Loyan Shaman clones'... so boring.
