would be a strong card vs hunter for sure and maybe mage but you don't need it vs any deck that has chow in it

Trying to decide on a Zoo list, any recommendations. Have about 1.3k dust. Thinking of a more aggro version so could use some cards towards face hunter

My problem with lil ex is even habitually proccing its just steadily mediocre. For priest for example is it really better than a cultist? Same stats the taunt isnt directly amazing early early and more susceptible to silence. They needed to make it a 2/4 body rather than 2/3 if they actually wanted it to work as a counter card.

The basics of a zoo:
Voidwalkers, flame imps, abusives, power overwhelm. Thats 8. Some ppl add lepers if they want it more aggro, some cut an abusive or both or a flame imp.

Eggs, knife jugs, creepers form the basis for 2 drops. Some add an owl, dire wolf, etc, but its up to you.

Then 2 imp gang bosses and sometimes a void terror.

2 implosions and 2 arguses. Doomguards.

Thats 22 corr cards. Rest is up to you. Some ppl go with voidcallers, malganis, loatheb, boom, sea giants, whatever.

I think the midrange demon one is stronger, but the faster one is more fun to play. The soulfire/fist deck is really cool.

Have considered this option as well. I only have two playable decks right now though (and by playable I mean no legendaries or epics) so I feel like crafting things like Direwolfs, Abusive Servants and class rares is more important right now

Definitely Boom, auto-include in any deck with 7+ mana cards pretty much (a few exceptions). Best late game card by far.

Yeah, it's enemy minions, not your own, so it requires a board with your opponent having stuff + being able to clear them + maybe it surviving. Just not a good card.

Main issue is leper gnomes are super aggressive cards whereas a 9/7 for 9 (or in the hypothetical case, 7!) are too high curved for anything aggressive. It's like burst/face damage but super delayed and with a caveat.

There are a lot of legendaries that would be playable "if" but that if is literally never going to happen, visa vi, they will never get played.

Perhaps. You'd need to proc 2 leper gnomes (on average) for it to be better than Dr. Boom. One would be slightly worse. I think it's a lot better than you think on turn 7.

no it's not

i did the write-up in another thread, but basically these cards (BGH, Ooze, Harrison, Flare) become OP if they work, and underpowered if they don't. Additionally EVERY new card they make have to be balanced around them (when's the last time there was a good new 7+ attack legendary outside of Boom, who was balanced around it?)

The following legendaries would otherwise see play if Big Game Hunter didn't exist:

Immediately see play:
Icehowl
Mekgineer Thermaplugg
Majordomo
Deathwing
Malorne
Illidan
Velen
Rend
Mogor
The Beast
The Skeleton Knight

Might see play:
Gruul
King Krush
Onyxia
Anub'arak

Instead we don't see play from these, in part or wholly because BGH exists

They've had to balance EVERY new legendary on having 6 or less attack (Kel'Thuzad, Chromaggus), or having an immediate effect if it does (Rhonin, Dr Boom, Neptulon). That's not good game design

Is major-domo for the trololo value?

see? this is my point. We can't even play these cards even if BGH didn't exist

nerf BGH, fix a few of the outliers (read: Dr. Boom), and we finally might see play from a few of these interesting cards.
