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.
the idea of this deck is good but it has weak side imho: card draw!
zoolock is better because life tap helps you to find tools for dealing with taunt and other threats, spamming board or find more damage for leathal
any kind of warrior and other control deck just clear your board 1-2 times and u cant comeback in game
sry for bad eng
This is aggresive deck and games don't last long so you don't suffer much from not having card draw. Yes, zoolock has life tap so he can flood board over and over again , but our goal isn't to flood the board, we need to get decent board and then finish opponent with hunter hero power and damage spells which warlock lacks.
This deck is incredibly weak to board wipes. Fortunately Shaman's are mostly aggro and midrange that don't run Lightning Storm and paladins aren't that big right now. Mage's Flamestrike is often too late. Warrior's can be a pain with Whirlwind type effects and Brawl.
I know you are right but only board clear is Whirlwind effects. Nnot overextending into brawl isn't hard with this deck, but most of the warriors now are dragon or tempo so they don't even run brawl
No , it's not . it's much more consistent than face hunter which is really coinflip.
Who said i want to flood the board? I don't need to flood the board i just need to get advantage early then hit some damage to face while keeping board with spells/eaglehorn bow and then finish opponent with spells left and Leeroy Jenkins with which tracking really helps. Cards aren't bad in terms of stat-efficiency. Which cards are bad for its costs? only Infested Wolf, Argent Horserider and Knife Juggler have bad STATS for their costs, but they have other effects that make them fit in deck and good cards
[card]Leeroy Jenkins[/card] is used in a lot of zoolock decks...
It is used as a finished with PO
Has 0 card draw other than quickshot
Doesn't need, games aren't long you usually finish your opponent on like 6/7/8 turn so you don't suffer much from no card draw and if you want more card draws add 2nd Tracking .
You say that you are 40-6...but this is the beginning of the season. What rank are you at...it seems like you could just be seal clubbing noobs with a mediocre deck. It's hard to tell at the beginning of the season.
yeah it's beggining of season so on lower ranks its harder to win. i play like 1 hour a day and i got to rank 10 pretty easily
Read this page and then went to play a couple of matches. First round I'm playing someone using this deck haha... Stomped them with my Divine Paladin pretty badly. They wouldn't even try trading just went face the entire time. Probably the players fault more than the deck. I had an extremely good mulligan as well. I still want to try this though...
please ppl play this deck, love it when ppl yolo play first site decks and got wrecked so hard :p
The Real Zoo must have dragons! ;) Love the list tho btw
why not? it is closest replacement for leeroy. I know it is much worse but sometimes on empty board Reckless Rocketeer is better
if you have better idea you are welcome to say it!
downsides of this replacement are : 1) 1 more cost. it is really awkward when you are on 7 mana so you could combo leeroy with hero power 2) 1 less damage.
upsides: on empty board you can use Reckless Rocketeer without fear that summoned 1/1s will remove it for free, so your opponent will have to remove it so it will be 5 damage and also distraction .
Now I'm happy ! Good job !
Delete .
this deck is aggresive there is no place for that cards .if you want to have call of the wild and highmane go play midrange hunter
