I was thinking about zoo warlock and why it is called zoo. So i got the idea to make real zoo with it's beasts and everything and i present you real zoo hunter.
If you want midrange version of beast hunter with call of the wilds and stuff you should check this deck out http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/583772-midrange-beast-hunter
What is new? :
This deck utilizes forgotten Snake Trap really really well.
And yes it runs actual Scavenging Hyena . With so many beasts trading for hunter becomes fun (don't get carried away, that's because you will do more damage to face with hyena )
why Scavenging Hyena ? - this card is amazing . it is 2/2 2 drop which can be traded in 1 drops and 2 drops and really good distraction if anything, BUT even if you trade 1 beast while having this on board it becomes best 2 drop in game. it's 2 drop threat which can go huge if unnoticed and forces your opponent into awkward situation, also protects your other minions because opponent will use removals on this card . it synergizes really well with Unleash the Hounds, Snake Trap and Infested Wolf . value is amazing: you trade 1/1 and you get + 2/1 .
Quote from Boldelar's comment " Scavenging Hyena is an important part and sometimes it can be the wincondition. It's a 2/2 for 2 mana with soft taunt with the ability to become a giant beast when combined with unleash, snake trap or infected wolf. Don't play it on turn 2, wait till you have a good board to drop it and buff. Instead, play another 2 mana minion or a secret. "
Main idea is to get ahead early and protect your board with cards like Arcane Shot , Quick Shot, Kill Command and Eaglehorn Bow which can also be used for face damage when needed.
Replacement for Leeroy Jenkins is Reckless Rocketeer
I hope you will enjoy the deck :)
Possible changes : - Houndmaster + Defender of Argus
- Worgen Infiltrator + Tracking
- Worgen Infiltrator + Stonetusk Boar
kiwiinbacon made an awesome video highlighting this deck.
ummmm I dont want to speak ill of a deck but this is not a good one...FYI this is no where close to a mtg zoo deck.
Ok ok, I see what you were trying to do... and as an MTG player I understand your misconception... but seriously none of these cards would be found in a "Real zoo" besides 2 Hyena's and 1 Panther... lame ass zoo, who goes to the zoo to see frogs, snakes, horses, dogs or bats?
I don't know... I always enjoy visiting leeroy jenkins at my local zoo.
ah... I had the same idea, i just didn't had the patience to try it out and ended up dusting many fo those cards to finish my standard pally :( Maybe i'll get some of those cards back... only luck and time will tell.
Anyway... Keep up the good work!
When I play against this deck, I notice that it runs out of gas very quickly. It certainly doesn't hold up against any of the better aggressive decks already in the meta. And most control decks have more than enough removal to keep up until you start topdecking.
The problem with saving your hyenas for later in the game means you'll be down to a 1-card hand by the time you want to use it. But you can't use it because you don't have much of a hand or board at that point.
Maybe it's OK against midrange? I haven't been playing much midrange lately, so I don't know. But since it can't win against other aggro, it doesn't really matter.
Fun fact, this is just a face hunter with hyenas.
Fun fact, the name Zoo comes from Magic: The Gathering because the deck was an aggressive Red/Green/White deck that ran lots of beasts.
I beat it with:
Turn 1: Flame Imp
Turn 2 :Renounce Darkness
since you got early board i wonder if it could fit a infest for extra cards ?
replacement for Snake Trap ?
Bear Trap / Explosive Trap / Tracking
very funny. made my day ;)
Pretty f***ing clever sir :D
This is a video showcasing the deck i made and I am pretty proud of the results you can get with this deck!
nice video , you got pretty unlucky with matchups tho warrior is worst matchup with their Whirlwind effects and that druid was lucky too, but still lost :D i will add it in description :)
what do you think of argent squire instead of worgen?
will fit pretty well, you can sub stonetusk boar for worgen too. if you want to sub worgen i prefer stonetusk boar
ASTOUNDING!!!
Can Call of the wild fit into it as a way to regain tempo if it gets to late? Or are games going to end quicker than turn 8
No, it is too slow, you are all about early tempo and if you get call of the wild in early hand it's too bad and yes usually games are over before turn 8.
i thought Zoolock was called zoo because it had many different creatures and i named my deck after real zoo :D ty for info btw.
