What is considered a good/standard Zoo deck these days. I'm not putting in a ton of volume or watching streams and for some reason haven't seen a ton. Is it all sort of old Zoo, but adding in Void Callers and Malganis?

There are a lot of various Zoo decks, the strength comes from the most OP hero power coupled with a few new addition of best in slot cards (imp gang boss GMAFB). you can go more aggro and face with a lower curve and things like lepers, you could go total midrange with a more demon mindset, or you can even be super greedy and play things like slyvanas (I dont like those zoo decks at all, but its hard to argue they're bad)

Yeah, I was just curious for if I play more and make a push. Not sure what to expect so I can play better against them. I guess there is no gold standard now and you just have to wait for a void caller to drop to know?

i like my list, kind of just yolo'd in some big stuff with voidcallers because it's insane

what's your list?

its not the void terror/bane of doom one, its just standard zoo with malganis and dr boom

Heeeey, I've done it!



First time legend. Been playing almost a year F2P, mostly arena. I tried for legend once before in February, with mech mage, but with less determination. Stalled out around the top of rank 3 that time. Anyway, here's the list that made it...



Don't think it's optimized at all really. I wanted to tinker with it a few times but I was also afraid to. In the end, it was good enough.

The reason for only 1 juggler and 1 bow was because I don't own 2nd copies. I'm playing the long game, going for the full collection, and the bow I have is actually the only collectible card I've ever crafted.

I feel like I learned a lot, at least about how my deck matched up against other decks, and how plays/mulligans change based on those matchups. Warriors (especially control) and Warlocks (handlock/Malylock) were my bread and butter. I did surprisingly well against other hunters, even without the Kezan. I had some face hunter stuff mixed into the deck, so with good draws and by summoning random huffers, I was able to outrace even some of the face hunters.

Really glad it didn't come down to the last day. I got gatekept once and ended up 3 stars away before storming back. Before that I'd fallen from rank 1 down through half of rank 3. Not sure when I would've attempted the grind again so it's a huge weight off my shoulders to have made it over the line!

Congrats man.

very happy for you man...and you did it YOUR way, and that's cool

Make it two tonight team.

Thanks to a variant of the Bobo pally posted earlier this month and a deftly timed knife juggler + hero power to finish off a 1 hp malylock just in time

From Rank 6 Legend to Chip Leader of the Main Event with 13 left. What a boss.

That's kind of funny. I'm sitting here reading his HS posts and commenting on threads we're in, and I had no idea who this was until now...haha. Congrats sir...take it home!

A true legend indeed. Gl mang!

sick

Wow. I looked up who he was, only to find he's also from the little town where I grew up. I got a nice article in the North Wales Reporter just for playing the main event 9 years ago. I imagine you got the front page, Joe! GL!

Finally did it guys! And it's good to do it before the TGT madness on monday. I work a ton of hours at my job, so it's been hard making that final push into legend. This month, however, it was possible! Thanks to all you guys out there who contributed to my learning , particularly Bobbo, who is a fellow Paladin player that I respect wholeheartedly.

I did it, solely, with Midrange Paladin. From rank 5 to Legend I did it with Solemn Vigil Paladin!

Below is proof of legend as well as the deck...I played one extra game after I got Legend, hence the rank discrepancy!

I got to legend tonight with Firebat's Mech Mage

Congrats both of you!

GJ Kreme!

Thank you guys! Appreciate the community here for the discussions, debates, and theorycrafting. It makes me better everyday when I can talk to the likes of Bobbo, zimmer, dkgo, and on and on!

super quick grind with bobbo this month. we went from 16 to 5 losing 4 or 5 games, from rank 5 to 3 losing about 3 times and then lost 4x from rank 3 to legend.

funnily enough, 3 of the 4 losses from rank 3 to legend were when I was at rank 1 5 stars

overall record ~75/~13 or something ridiculous

deck lists I've been running

Deck from the TGT Decks Thread with Mirrors instead of Spellslingers... I think the Spellslingers might be better, I was hoping the mirrors could help against some fast decks, but they didn't seem to do a ton

Grats man! The deck looked pretty solid from the few games I was able to watch last night.
