Do you think that there is a way to get by in this deck without naxx right now i'm trying to use 2x harvest golem  in place of 2x neurbian egg and 1x sea giant instead of 1x x lotheb  is there another better way to do this swap or is it just not a viable deck without naxx?

I need some help with this deck. I'm stuck in between ranks 18-16 and even when I get great early game, a lot of my opponents clear the board mid game or take out my big creatures late game. Many times they are left with less than 10 health and I just can't finish them no matter what.

 

Also, I don't have loatheb and nerubian egg, so I replaced them with a mal'ganis(got it from a pack and mostly helps a lot) and 1 implosion plus 1 shadowflame.

 

Should I change them with something else or are there any big combos I might not be aware off?
Any tips?

 
 
EDIT: I just got a Bane of Doom. Does it fit in this deck?

Those changes are ok, but the deck is definitely better with Egg in particular.

You probably just need to tighten up your play against AoE, or not making the right trades to protect the largest amount of your board. Really pay attention to what the best option for your opponent is, and what you can do to weaken how powerful it will be if they do it.

I would not play Shadowflame in this deck, nor Mal'ganis, Mal'ganis is only really good in Zoo decks when you can cheat it out with Voidcaller. I would add in things like Spider Tank, Dark Iron Dwarf, Dr. Boom if you have it.

 

Edit: Bane of Doom is ok.

Hi Sottle, is this deck still viable in the current meta (even in legend) is it outdated? I rarely see mech zoo warlock players; everyone seems to run normal zoo and handlock. Also, I really appreciate all the work you've done on here; you wouldn't believe how much I've used icy veins! biggrin.png

This deck is amazing. Got me from rank 16 to rank 10, now here.

 

My changes were:

- Replace 1 Doomguard with Kezan Mystic. Matchups against Hunters have never been so easy. Basically when you steal their Explosive trap they lose. Also helped against Mages - sometimes having Mirror Image creates awkward situations for mages. Also, as somebody mention previously, I kept getting two Doomguards in my hand. Or Doomguard + Imp-losion, which was very awkward, bad and was kind of slowing me down.

 

- Replace 1 Defender of Argus with Healbot. This change is kind of doubtful, but I didn't regret is this far. I tap almost every turn after turn 5-6-7, therefore having this kind of healing is extremely useful at these turns (especially if my enemy managed to survive this far). 5 mana is kind of slow, but it helps to survive face hunters and other zoolocks (non-mech), while keeping the pace. Maybe I'll bring Argus back, because it is amazing as well. But generally, if it's turn 5-6-7 and I'm not close to winning yet, it means that my enemy managed to counter my board. Which means I either only have "supportive" minions there (knife juggler, warper), or barely have any. In this case, Healbot is much stronger than Argus (if we assume that I turn either of these in this situation).

Is this changes to orginal deck list? Also is this deck dead or is it still viable to get me to rank 13 atleast

This will comfortably take you past Rank 13 if played well.

 

I also do not advocate either of ohyou's changes.

Hmmm I have been playing ur deck for a while now. I think probs around 15-20 games and I have reached rank 15. Dragon priests are absolutely deadly. I actually found hunter easy to kill. But I am stuck at rank 15 now. Anways I had a few changes to your list and maybe thats why I am struggling to escape rank 15. Changes were,

 

got rid of Implosion and put in Kezan Mystic.

replaced one clockwork gnome with 1 power overwhelming 

one dire wolf with one haunted creeper 

spider tank with haunted golem 

1 defender of argus with one iron dwarf 

 

Do u reckon this is what is stopping me?

 

Also I have voidcallers now and I am thinking of making dr.boom. Whats the newest meta zoolock deck

I prefer the Argus to the Dwarf and the Tank to the Golem, the others I could go either way on.

No, I don't play this deck much anymore.

for the first time in forever, i finally cracked the bottleneck at rank 17 (i'm a fairly new player, playing on a 2nd account since i think i screwed up my first time; with other cheap decks, i just couldn't break through that rank before; i'm also only f2p). i'm currently rank 15 right now. i replaced 1 flame imp and the spider tank for 2 ironbeak owls. the reason being i once caught my self stranded in a position where a priest was using too many buffs on a taunted minion and i just couldn't get past it. it wasn't a ladder game, thankfully, but i realized the silences could help. this deck is good, and i've only recently gotten the hang of playing it. i did get out-aggroed once by a face hunter, and got outplayed by a mage running a flamewaker once. otherwise, i beat a dragon priest with it (he cleared my board twice with holy nova and lightbomb), and beat a warrior's armor to pulp with it--among my brightest moments--and got lucky with topdecked doomguards with a soon-to-be empty hand several other times. i'm having fun with this deck. thanks biggrin.png

I would like to try this deck but I'm wondering what I could replace these for because I don't have them, and don't really want to spend 500 dust crafting, 1x flame imp, 1x imp-losion, 2x doomguard, 2x Clockwork gnome and 2x Cogmaster, I have the first wing of BRM and all of Naxx if that helps. :3 thanks in advance.

      Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work.
      If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here.

       
      What a way to kick things off; this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board.
      In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between.
      Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first.

      Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman.
      We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:
      All the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available. Beware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Windfury minions will only attack. Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after.
      There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru.

      That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop.

      This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck.
      We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.
      First, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. The departure of the Knights of the Frozen Throne set will make evolving 10 drops better again now that there are no more Snowfury Giants in the Evolve pool, and we get to re-roll for the generally better bodies from the 10 costs. We’re adding in some early-game removal to compensate for the lack of early drops so we can better survive the early game.

      Next, let’s try to use the standard Renathal Control Shaman archetype that’s doing rather well in the meta as a starting point. One safe idea is to look at slotting Overlord Drakuru and potentially Brightblood Berskerker and From De Other Side into this standard XL Renathal Control Shaman as ways of fighting back on board while getting your infuse cards stacked up.

      We could instead also try and drop all the duplicates from the list and convert it into a Reno deck, as the deck was already playing a lot of one-offs. That gives us just enough room for one of each of these bad boys, which together with Reno will up the turnaround potential of the deck at the cost of a little bit of consistency. Doing so we can end up with this list:

      AECAaoICunQBMORBKeNBK/ZBNnsA/rsA4qSBfuRBYfUBKrZBArG+QOs7QS12QTgtQS22QTblATGzgTj9gOGoQX4oAUA
      Why not use both and make it a Reno-thal deck? Prescience and Windchill will try to compensate for the loss of card draw from droping one copy of Gorloc Ravager and Famished fool. We are adding in Convincing Disguise to have still enough evolve effects around. The idea of including Bracing Cold and Far Sight is to hopefully discount From De Other Side or the evolve cards so we make use of any leftover bodies in the same turn. Ozumat’s in here not just to get us up to 40 cards, but because it’s a near guaranteed board clear combo with From De Other side, if you manage your hand and board space just right, that leaves you with all its appendages afterward.
