I can deal with Face Hunter (BTW, I'd swap out Tracking for Hunter's Mark). I'm just glad none of those decks were Priest decks. Fuck Priest.GladiatorUA said:
agreed. fuck that fucker, his sole purpose is dragging out games unnecessarily long.SlumlordThanatos said:
you are so laughably wrong, zoolock won one of thee most recent worldwide legendary tournaments. It spanks the opponent before they can do anything about it most times besides bleeding on life support.Trippy Turtle said:
And that's why everyone at a rank that infers they have a clue what they are doing runs counters to zoo these days. Especially when it also counters the face hunters that everyone is currently using.gmaverick019 said:you are so laughably wrong, zoolock won one of thee most recent worldwide legendary tournaments.

I wouldn't call patron warrior gimmicky, just a bit difficult to setup if you don't get your good lower cards in the early game for decent board control. It's absolutely hilarious when I wiped a guys board (considering he just dropped a dr. boom on turn 7, shit was toast) and did a shit ton of damage to him as well.
and this disproves what, exactly? I just proved with a source that it was one of the top decks used recently to win one of the worldwide tournaments, how exactly is it not effective?Trippy Turtle said:And that's why everyone at a rank that infers they have a clue what they are doing runs counters to zoo these days.

Nobody runs a deck slow enough to be stomped by zoo until the single digits when all the aggro decks get a bit rarer.
because there are LOTS of different combination cards you can use on it for it to be effective, it doesn't just have to be warsong commander + commanding shout, and unless they have flamestrike or another larger AOE type spell on hand, then there is nothing they can do to stop +15 damage the next turn after that as well. Out of the ~20ish times I've used a similar deck, I've used some form of grim patron 15-16 times out of those duals, because it wasn't that hard (short of terrible card draw) to reach the later turns with mediocre to above average board control.
I just told you why its ineffective: Everyone and their mother uses it at the early ranks because it won, so anyone with half a brain runs counters. Therefore most of the time you are going to get shut down when fighting anyone over rank 15.gmaverick019 said:
if everyone and their mother used it because it won, isn't that because it's effective? Sure, there are counters to it, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good deck, otherwise we could sit here all day saying no deck is good, since anyone could run counter to it. Just to prove a point since ranks just reset, I'll go from level 19 as far as I can go for the day and report back.Trippy Turtle said:
Yes there are more reliable combos, but are they as effective? class based? where is your cut line between gimmick and not-gimmicky? what's the point of using any other combos then ever besides the most reliable ones? All it needs to do is replicate once and it's worth the cost, and then you have double the copying potential after that as well. (most combos depend on you controlling the damage that turn anyways, so unless the opponent has an AOE the next turn, it won't kill it off.)
All I could think of when reading the first page was "WHY ARE YOU TELLING MORE PEOPLE TO DO THE MOST ANNOYING DECK!?" and then I remembered priest and the delay warrior. those games take so long that at some point I just left every game that I ran into a warrior just to save time.SlumlordThanatos said:
Personally, I would shave the 2nd Animal Companion for the 2nd Abusive Sergeant. The rate of damage to cost on Abusive Sergeant is just too high - along with helping to push through taunts, and it's often important to have a one drop you can run out for pressure.
Gonna have to disagree. Zoo and Face Hunter are some of the easiest ways to climb to legend. Sure, you'll run into some people who have counters, but I find it's actually less common to run into those at the higher ranks since more and more people are playing control. Not only that, the games you win are usually going to be quite quick so you don't have to worry about the morale hit that other players may experience after losing a half hour game.Trippy Turtle said:
I like to play a mix of "1 attack" and mech when I need to do Hunter dailies, due to the Metaltooth Leapers and the Hobgoblin cards there's two ways to buff the 1-attack minions I have which makes it semi-reliable though I wish I had a second hobgoblin, never get the bastard when my hand is full of 1 attack minions xDUkomba said:
