+Mathmachine U kidding ? that version wiht legendaries and so on i mean boom mal ganis .. u know or not just few bigger minions was the most played deck on tournaments in hs history
The only reason Kripp is so jolly in the video is because *he* was playing the cancer, not people he faced. Imagine if it was the other way around. We would've drowned in salt.
+Semyon Galtsev IF you bothered you watch/listen to the video, you'd realize he already knows its broken. Welcome to standard, you gotta play something like this if you want to rank up. If you don't want this kind of 'cancer', then stick to wild and experience the many other forms of it that still exist.
argottobob IF you bothered turning your brain ON while reading my comment, you'd realize I don't dispute his knowledge or attitude; only his mood. Also, I've given up on constructed a long time ago. But you're wrong in "you gotta play something like this if you want to rank up," because you forget one important word at the end: *fast*. Kibler, for instance, does not play cancer decks at all. And still gets to legend every time pretty comfortably. Cause his goal is to have fun and entertain, not wave around a tiny virtual donger.
Yeah, I was getting pretty wrecked as a paladin against this deck until I was asked a very important question: "DO YOU LIKE TO PLAY WITH FIRE!?" Random aside: I miss Magmaragarino :(
Next expansion Warrior legendary: Garrosh Jackson 6 Mana Battlecry: If you started the game with Fiery War Axe in your hand, gain 60 armor At the end of your turn cast shield slam on the random enemy.
I never liked playing aggro decks. I always build control/fatigue decks. But then, I opened a golden Renounce Darkness. And I wanted to make it work. Decided to make an aggro warlock, with only warlock cards (making it a bit weaker than the standard zoo - no giants ...) save for two sergeants (couldn't remove those, they are mandatory, be it for burst damage, or to make better trades in late game), and Renounce Darkness. I've had crazy results. When the aggro is getting stalled/starting to run out of steam, you just play it and even if you only get randomly generated cards for an other class, it is incredible. 1 mana less on each card is awesome. No 2 of a same card limitation confuses opponents. Opponents don't know how to handle the game since they can't predict strategies (because I don't have one anymore - I don't know what I am gonna draw !). Just think the plays carefully and it does it. I've gone 13-1 with this starting at rank 4. I also won a local tournament with it. (I yoloed Renounce Darkness on turn 2 during the finals because I was facing freeze mage which would have obliterated me - and I won with hunter (That flare did the job quite well in the end ...))
+Tywin Lannister That's awesome! Would you be able to post a decklist? I know, I know, I'm a filthy netdecker but I'm horrible at coming up with my own decks and doing better than, like, rank 15, so I'd love to use some more original work (with permission, of course)!
Yes they were so wrong But srsly tho i use one of them in my zoolock and he causes most of my wins good with forbiden ritual next turn after you play him
I have been playing C'Thun Control Priest. With my list I managed to reach rank 6 from Rank 15 in one day; mostly thanks to all the Zoolock it has been destroying. Zoolock is definitely good though.
Here is what I just emailed the other guy Until Old Gods came out I was a F2P player. I grinded to pay for Nax with gold and then other than popping in once in a while to do some quests or a Brawl I didn't play much HS. I unlocked the first wing of Blackrock as well. I cannot afford really to put money into this game. But Old Gods and also the introduction Standard format made me want to play more. I preordered Old Gods. After opening my packs I fiddled and tweaked and made the first list here; which I used to reach rank 7. It is a subpar list though as my available cardpool was pretty limited. The second list is what I used to get from 7 to 6 and I made it after I bought Blackrock and League and finished them. List one 2x Circle of Healing 2x Powerword Shield 2x Northshire Cleric 1x Acidic Swamp Ooze 2x Beckoner of Evil 2x Flame Juggler 2x Shadow Word Death 2x Disciple of C'thun 2x Auchenai Soulpriest 2x Holy Nova 2x Azure Drake 2x Crazed Worshipper 2x Darkshire Alchemist 1x Twilight Darkmender 1x Emperor Thaurisan 1x Twin Emperor Vek'lor 1x Ysera 1x C'Thun I came on this after testing and finding too many C'thun enablers meant I had too few actual interactive cards for the game. Only one Darkmender because of curve, bad interaction with Soulpriest, and honestly you don't need two. Emperor Thaurisan was filler. Ysera has great synergy with C'Thun since you can use Dream to replay him. Has been very relevant. I made a few tweaks at rank 7. I had dropped one Azure Drake and tested Shadow Word Horror for a bit at a friend's suggestion. Though it didn't do much and the matches it was for were already good matches. But it was better for my curve. I dropped it and added a single Hooded Acolyte and that worked perfectly and I hit rank 6. I dropped a Flame Juggler for a single Twilight Elder. Two Jugglers was too many; and they were mainly tempo fillers for curve. The three drop Elder felt better. Then I did the adventures. I built this: 2x Circle of Healing 2x Powerword Shield 2x Northshire Cleric 2x Beckoner of Evil 1x Museum Curator 2x Shadow Word Death 1x Brann Bronzebeard 2x Disciple of C'Thun 2x Twilight Elder 2x Auchenai Soulpriest 1x Hooded Acolyte 1x Holy Nova 2x Crazed Worshipper 2x Darkshire Alchemist (these guys are nuts with Soulpriest) 1x Twilight Darkmender 1x Justicar Trueheart 1x Twin Emperor Vek'lor 1x Ysera 1x Nefarian (I am going to cut this I think. He is messing my curve a lot. Probably Harrison goes here. May even test a Flash Heal here.) 1x C'Thun
At the start of every expansion people say: "Meta will slow down. Aggro is dead. Control meta incoming." EVERY GOD DAMN TIME! Because that is what most people want. Yet blizzard has yet to actually achieve that in 2 1/2 years of HS.
+L0LWTF1337 Because a control meta is almost impossible to achieve, there will always be fast and midrange decks that can curve out perfectly against control decks. It's actually healthy, nobody wants an all control meta, it'd be so boring. Compare the current state of the game to previous incarnations and the game has slowed down considerably.
That last game's final turn was just poetry in motion. I was counting the damage alongside every new play, so satisfying to see it add up to exactly 30 damage.
+Advo Me too man no more anyfin combo or random burst from murloc knight is a bummer for sure. Hopefully we will get a new legendary murloc next expansion
I know you said it's a free account and you wanted to put your piece in, it's also exceptionally helpful for those just starting the game or coming back! Seems like a "budget" Hearthstone deck. I also found it hilarious people would disenchant Knife Juggler. He got a nerf, but his ability still makes him a beast! Much thanks!
19:17 missed an easy lethal power overhelm the ship attack with the argent commander = 3 coil the argent, attack with ship = 6 wolf = 2 all the tentacles = 4 3+6+2+4 = 15 anyway i'm so glad zoo is back and i did ended up opening some of the new zoo cards so hoping to get a good run for my zoolock deck thanks for reviewing the deck (or the "possible" deck list)
this deck is madness! to make one thing clear, I am a mediocre player - at best - reaching rank 8 in the ladder, as the highest I've ever gotten... this deck is really crazy! I put "Gormok" in and maybe will include "Brann Bronzebeard", but I'm not sure that I should...anyway, I played this deck for a while and right from the start, I won *79%* of my matches and I climbed from rank 17 to rank 11 in literally no time, with 11-3 and an eight win winstreak! that is, how crazy strong this deck is.
+S34G4T3 Yeah I mean... In vanilla there was zoo ... Then with naxx, egg, undertaker, haunted creeper... Then with gvg it got imp-losion and Mal'ganis... Then in Blackrock it got imp gang boss ... Then in the grand tournament Gormok was added... And with league of explorers Brann zoo exploded... Now it is the same...
Master Of Reality +2/+2 and a 2/3 on turn turn four, distributed among three minions? That often breaks people's necks. At least it did when I wrote that comment.
Kripp. You have so much influence... Making this video is going to make more people play zoo. As a side note. I've had all of success against zoo with shaman. Especially with 2 jeweled scarobs as it gives you a chance to have 4 lightning storms or pic up more hex which is useful against their doom guards and giant.
I was playing zoolock just before the expac and was smashing. Now with "possessed villager", "darkshire councilman" and "spawn of n'zoth". It's amazing! Similar to kripps minus the mortal coil, dragon eggs, argent horserider, cult and volcanic. Replaced by Bran, defender, juggler, bane of doom and iron beak to go face and a void walker to defend my juggler.
That is the guy that has got the old gods hype insanity. He bought 2000 packs and when he didn't get a golden c'thun he couldn't stop calling out "c'thun, c'thun? C'THUUUN!!!!"
Put in the Dreadsteed. It's the gift that keeps on giving. I win a lot of games with the Gormak/Brann combo, but this also applies to Frostwolf and Seeker.
Missed lethal at 19:22. Hit face with all except sheep, use mortal coil on your own Abusive Sgt. and the sheep would get +1 attack from the wolf which makes it 15 + 4 from the Power Overwhelming. Edit: Yay, twitch chat pointed it out as well! :D

+RunicTitan || MineCraft Is that a joke? Plenty of people play zoo to legend EVERY month. Unless you mean this exact list but like he said at the start... f2p account so he can't optimize it.
Yay... "This expansion will push the game more towards control" except for when it doesn't and mindless aggro is still the most successful archetype in the game.
I don't consider zoo to be "mindless aggro" and I don't think it is the most successful archetype in the game at all. No way you win from warrior or priest with this deck. Also you got to play well with zoo lock a lot more then with something like face hunter.
+Leedark3 Why would you think zoo was mindless aggro? It's a deck built around board control, one of the fundamentals of the game. What would you say was better? Freezing your enemy's board until you burst them down? Playing board clears until you draw Reno? Mindless is playing shit on curve without any thought. Zoo requires a lot of thought. No other deck even needs to think about minion placement often, especially with no shredder. Essentially - you don't know how to beat zoo, so you cry about it.
+Leedark3 he does have a argument and it is perfectly valid. On the flip side though you do not have a argument. The only thing you have is your opinion that you got from your alleged games against zoolock. It is possible to play zoo mindlessly just like any other deck like control. You'll just suck and lose a lot. (And then you get the people complaining about their luck with zoo lock with is most likely because they don't know how to play)
What I like about zoo is that I can play it on my second monitor while mainly focusing on the tv show on my main monitor and still win two out of three games. Seems pretty good.
+gtfffv Try playing this cancer as a Hunter, fucking impossible to win. Between this and Aggro Shaman the meta went from incredible right back to trash in a matter of days.
Zoo was always the deck against which I struggled the most and when I saw Forbidden Ritual I was so scared especially when I imagined the combo with Knife Juggler / Darkshire Councilman. But to my surprise I'd even consider it much easier to deal with as a priest now. Shadowword: Horror has such a big impact and with Cult Apothecary, Darkshire Alchemist and Twilight Darkmender there are so many great options to heal, while getting a decent body on the board. But I'd still rather play in the wild format, as losing Lightbomb represents quite a big deal in many matchups.
+Kevin Sub 25 out of 30 cards are 3 mana or less how is that not aggro lol. Not to mention the others get heavily discounted because you flood the board so they are very low mana too.
Top Ten Top Tens Pfft then everyone on ladder is playing it wrong because they are always hitting my face unless the trade is insane like a 1/1 for a 4/1 insane or I have a 5 health and they have a PO along with a 1/1.
Yeah, I dropped several board clears from my Priest into one of these and still didn't stop it. Starting to take a new look at Shadow Word Horror if this continues to grow in popularity.
Geez what's with those short sighted people thinking it's in anyway a good idea to dust all of Naxx and GvG. It's like they've never heard of Tavern Brawl or Adventures.
Lol exactly my reaction on the first day of whispers. I didn't get any old gods or a tonne of C'Thun buffers so decided to just craft 2x forbidden ritual, 2x villager and a councilman. Totally destroyed everyone else and got easy 5 packs.
Yap, my first deck, kicks ass.And mine is kinda completely different.Glad I kept one juggler. Update:removed the seekers, they rly dont work well with ritual.Ritual on the other hand is awesome, works with cult master,councilman,spawn etc etc
Turns out losing Lightbomb, Deathlord, Zombie Chow, Sludge Belcher was pretty rough. When your best neutral Taunt before 7 mana is Senji Shieldmasta, that's pretty brutal for decks with poor AOE.
19:20 Attack with everything but the tentacle 2nd right to Direwolf Mortal Coil the Tentacle 1st right to Dire Wolf , PO the other tentacle is exact lethal
Also mage has Twilight Flamecaller which pretty much does the same thing Ravaging Ghoul does. Yeah it's a 2/2 but if you can use it as a board clear that's not very important. I haven't pulled that off yet though.
thanks kirpp. i'd been doing extraordinary on ladder with zoo and i've found the hardest match up to be mirror. now you've guaranteed that it'll flood the ladder. :(
Saw this deck once playing crappy whatever's available Paladin. Consecration wrecked it, as did Cyclopean whatever (the taunt with +1 to health per enemy).

The only reason Kripp is so jolly in the video is because *he* was playing the cancer, not people he faced.
Imagine if it was the other way around. We would've drowned in salt.

Kibler, for instance, does not play cancer decks at all. And still gets to legend every time pretty comfortably. Cause his goal is to have fun and entertain, not wave around a tiny virtual donger.
***** What are you talking about? It's been commonly referred to as cancer since the game's beta.
Yeah, I was getting pretty wrecked as a paladin against this deck until I was asked a very important question:
"DO YOU LIKE TO PLAY WITH FIRE!?"

+Ollie Wombat dude what
So, remember when most streamers dismissed Darkshire Councilman as mediocre at best?
Yes they were so wrong
But srsly tho i use one of them in my zoolock and he causes most of my wins good with forbiden ritual next turn after you play him
+MeBomb1 When a warlock plays that guard i focus the damn thing down faster then anyones buisness
+MeBomb1 Yeah boy it was like they could only judge the card on paper because it wasn't out yet or something...
At least Imp-losion got rotated out. Turn 3 Darkshire Councilman into turn 4 Imp-losion would have been cancer on a new level.
+Maurice Flores I suppose you could run that in the wild format....................
How Councilman got past playtesting is beyond me.

Sure. Message your email to me.
+Patricia Cross mohammed-mathari@hotmail.com thanks alot in advance!
C'thun control priest seemed really average, at least the lists i tired. could you share your decklist please?
Here is what I just emailed the other guy
Until Old Gods came out I was a F2P player. I grinded to pay for Nax with gold and then other than popping in once in a while to do some quests or a Brawl I didn't play much HS. I unlocked the first wing of Blackrock as well. I cannot afford really to put money into this game.
But Old Gods and also the introduction Standard format made me want to play more. I preordered Old Gods. After opening my packs I fiddled and tweaked and made the first list here; which I used to reach rank 7. It is a subpar list though as my available cardpool was pretty limited. The second list is what I used to get from 7 to 6 and I made it after I bought Blackrock and League and finished them.
List one
2x Circle of Healing
2x Powerword Shield
2x Northshire Cleric
1x Acidic Swamp Ooze
2x Beckoner of Evil
2x Flame Juggler
2x Shadow Word Death
2x Disciple of C'thun
2x Auchenai Soulpriest
2x Holy Nova
2x Azure Drake
2x Crazed Worshipper
2x Darkshire Alchemist
1x Twilight Darkmender
1x Emperor Thaurisan
1x Twin Emperor Vek'lor
1x Ysera
1x C'Thun
I came on this after testing and finding too many C'thun enablers meant I had too few actual interactive cards for the game. Only one Darkmender because of curve, bad interaction with Soulpriest, and honestly you don't need two. Emperor Thaurisan was filler. Ysera has great synergy with C'Thun since you can use Dream to replay him. Has been very relevant.
I made a few tweaks at rank 7. I had dropped one Azure Drake and tested Shadow Word Horror for a bit at a friend's suggestion. Though it didn't do much and the matches it was for were already good matches. But it was better for my curve. I dropped it and added a single Hooded Acolyte and that worked perfectly and I hit rank 6. I dropped a Flame Juggler for a single Twilight Elder. Two Jugglers was too many; and they were mainly tempo fillers for curve. The three drop Elder felt better.
Then I did the adventures. I built this:
2x Circle of Healing
2x Powerword Shield
2x Northshire Cleric
2x Beckoner of Evil
1x Museum Curator
2x Shadow Word Death
1x Brann Bronzebeard
2x Disciple of C'Thun
2x Twilight Elder
2x Auchenai Soulpriest
1x Hooded Acolyte
1x Holy Nova
2x Crazed Worshipper
2x Darkshire Alchemist (these guys are nuts with Soulpriest)
1x Twilight Darkmender
1x Justicar Trueheart
1x Twin Emperor Vek'lor
1x Ysera
1x Nefarian (I am going to cut this I think. He is messing my curve a lot. Probably Harrison goes here. May even test a Flash Heal here.)
1x C'Thun
19:15 you had lethal if you mortal coiled a minion adjacent to the dog after you attacked
after i watched, he noticed it on his own with chat hahaha
i just went 20-3 with pretty much classic midrange shaman, and i didnt encounter a single warlock. guess i can consider myself lucky...
+pianomarius LUL
+pianomarius Just wait a few more days for the cancer to spread Kappa
+pianomarius Played almost standard darwin shammy against this deck in ladder and it kills this zoo lock deck. Lightning storm just recks them

Went 12-0 with my ShamWow (shaman) deck. Then, hit 10 zoo's in a row. now my deck is 13-9.

Keeping the game cheap and noob friendly is intentional by blizzard. Otherwise so many will cry P2W.
+SirTatManTat Nobody with smaller attention spans wants an all control meta.
Aaanndd, now i'm fighting zoolocks 5 more times than before, thanks Kripp.
"How do you beat this deck?"
Have two AOEs and good minions.
+Jack Winterheld reno and aoe shuld do it. foe reaper reks it
+Zirofal Don't think Foe reaper is in standard, dude.
+Jack Winterheld C'thun priest deals with this deck nicely.
+Opachopp Ive been playing c'thun priest and it absolutely craps on this, hunter and shaman
+Jack Winterheld Shadow Word: Horror completely wrecks this deck, and if that's not enough to make your opponent concede, drop the holy novas.
Thanks. I just made a version of this with great results. I don't usually play zoo decks, so this was a fun intro. Thanks for sharing, Kripp!
God I miss this hearthstone so bad
That last game's final turn was just poetry in motion. I was counting the damage alongside every new play, so satisfying to see it add up to exactly 30 damage.
"Maybe they'll give you a minion that fully heals you and gives you armor." Amara, Warden of Hope.
That BM at the end, "better luck next time you know..." LOL!! xD!
I've been having fun with a Divine murloc deck that I made
+TheMightyOwl ok, but why did you write this as an reply and not as a comment? It has nothing to do with his comment.
May mrrrggll have mercy on your opponents.
+Shaunuthun ikr however I do miss old murk eye
+TheMightyOwl I've been running a massive Control Pally but the one Deck that beats it in the late lategame is N'Zoth Rogue.
+Advo Me too man no more anyfin combo or random burst from murloc knight is a bummer for sure. Hopefully we will get a new legendary murloc next expansion
I know you said it's a free account and you wanted to put your piece in, it's also exceptionally helpful for those just starting the game or coming back! Seems like a "budget" Hearthstone deck.

Thanks Kripp, now everyone is going to start playing this crap
This deck was on HearthPwn two days ago.
+Sam Nelson Go play the game, everyone was playing basically this same list a few hours after the set launched.
+Sam Nelson
I was already seeing it 2 days ago

missed an easy lethal
power overhelm the ship
attack with the argent commander = 3
coil the argent, attack with ship = 6

i'm so glad zoo is back and i did ended up opening some of the new zoo cards
so hoping to get a good run for my zoolock deck
thanks for reviewing the deck (or the "possible" deck list)

this deck is madness!
to make one thing clear, I am a mediocre player - at best - reaching rank 8 in the ladder, as the highest I've ever gotten...
this deck is really crazy!
I put "Gormok" in and maybe will include "Brann Bronzebeard", but I'm not sure that I should...anyway, I played this deck for a while and right from the start, I won *79%* of my matches and I climbed from rank 17 to rank 11 in literally no time, with 11-3 and an eight win winstreak!
that is, how crazy strong this deck is.
zoo is back? when it gone?
+S34G4T3
It never was gone, I don't know why Kripp said that it's back....
+RePaperBag You're a bad grammar Nazi.
+RePaperBag you are an idiot
+Rocket Raccoon Grammatically correct English since 1904!
+S34G4T3 Yeah I mean... In vanilla there was zoo ... Then with naxx, egg, undertaker, haunted creeper... Then with gvg it got imp-losion and Mal'ganis... Then in Blackrock it got imp gang boss ... Then in the grand tournament Gormok was added... And with league of explorers Brann zoo exploded... Now it is the same...
wow. added knife jugglers and this deck is much much fun with much much of the winnings. nice one Kripp!
Blizzard was supposed to nerf aggro but they buffed it.
I have never laughed so hard at a video, just between the captions and krips "unstoppable" killed me.
No Defender of Argus?
The guy is probably the most frustrating part about facing this deck.
What's the point of taunts in aggro decks?
so you dont watch the kripp ?
Master Of Reality
+2/+2 and a 2/3 on turn turn four, distributed among three minions?
That often breaks people's necks. At least it did when I wrote that comment.
yeah got it
lol the ending was hilarious. a minion that fully heals u and gives u some armor ...epic.
that 1/5's effect will almost certainly be change to "....until the end of the turn" like mana baddict
i guess you were wrong
amonak1 indeed he was
19:18 - Missed lethal (Coil tentacle next to dire wolf after attacking -> 5 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 15) - you failed me, Kripp
rank 13, topkek

Kripp. You have so much influence... Making this video is going to make more people play zoo. As a side note. I've had all of success against zoo with shaman. Especially with 2 jeweled scarobs as it gives you a chance to have 4 lightning storms or pic up more hex which is useful against their doom guards and giant.
Hey that's pretty good
+Gavin Roberts What are you fucking gay
+Dylan fat
+Dylan Thanks for the support my dude, I'm already trying to.
I was playing zoolock just before the expac and was smashing. Now with "possessed villager", "darkshire councilman" and "spawn of n'zoth". It's amazing!
Similar to kripps minus the mortal coil, dragon eggs, argent horserider, cult and volcanic. Replaced by Bran, defender, juggler, bane of doom and iron beak to go face and a void walker to defend my juggler.
C'thun, C'thun? C'THUUUN!!!!
Get it? :D
+Anonymous User eyyy twitch pleb, take it easy it doesn't matter eyyy
That is the guy that has got the old gods hype insanity. He bought 2000 packs and when he didn't get a golden c'thun he couldn't stop calling out "c'thun, c'thun? C'THUUUN!!!!"
+YT Games nt
Put in the Dreadsteed. It's the gift that keeps on giving. I win a lot of games with the Gormak/Brann combo, but this also applies to Frostwolf and Seeker.
And Trump said Darkshire councilman would be bad, lmao.
+SephirosB him and all the other pros thought Boom would be terrible too.
+Bloodwolf1995 by others, kripp was also one of them ya know
***** Multiple pros thought it would be bad. Therefore saying him (referring to Trump) and all the other pros, includes Kripp, idiot.
Missed lethal at 19:22. Hit face with all except sheep, use mortal coil on your own Abusive Sgt. and the sheep would get +1 attack from the wolf which makes it 15 + 4 from the Power Overwhelming.
Edit: Yay, twitch chat pointed it out as well! :D
8:18 skip the kripp

wut
darkshire is my favorite card from warlock hands down
And Trump said Darkshire Councilmen is really bad lol
any one notice at 15:34 that the deck tracker showed the opponents deck??
Try this at rank 7+.. :/
+RunicTitan || MineCraft Is that a joke? Plenty of people play zoo to legend EVERY month. Unless you mean this exact list but like he said at the start... f2p account so he can't optimize it.
+RunicTitan || MineCraft LOL i agree
I see more and more board clear as zoo is becoming popular
since you posted this I have played against nothing but zoo.
GOD DAMNIT KRIPP
maybe it op in rank13 eligiggle
Thanks for highlighting this deck, more meat for my patron warrior.
Yay... "This expansion will push the game more towards control" except for when it doesn't and mindless aggro is still the most successful archetype in the game.
+Leedark3 in the stream today this deck have been countered by some type of handlock
I don't consider zoo to be "mindless aggro" and I don't think it is the most successful archetype in the game at all. No way you win from warrior or priest with this deck. Also you got to play well with zoo lock a lot more then with something like face hunter.
+Leedark3 Why would you think zoo was mindless aggro? It's a deck built around board control, one of the fundamentals of the game. What would you say was better? Freezing your enemy's board until you burst them down? Playing board clears until you draw Reno? Mindless is playing shit on curve without any thought. Zoo requires a lot of thought. No other deck even needs to think about minion placement often, especially with no shredder. Essentially - you don't know how to beat zoo, so you cry about it.
You seem tilted. Doesn't seem like you do beat zoo. Why would you even think it was brainless? Because it plays small minions? Sure, pal. Keep crying.
+Leedark3 he does have a argument and it is perfectly valid. On the flip side though you do not have a argument. The only thing you have is your opinion that you got from your alleged games against zoolock.
It is possible to play zoo mindlessly just like any other deck like control. You'll just suck and lose a lot.
(And then you get the people complaining about their luck with zoo lock with is most likely because they don't know how to play)
What I like about zoo is that I can play it on my second monitor while mainly focusing on the tv show on my main monitor and still win two out of three games. Seems pretty good.
krip reminds me of an orangutan
TY for making ladder 100% zoo. Ladder was fun for like 3 days and now its aggro shaman zoo and zoo.
This deck sucks. I haven't lost to it once as a priest
+gtfffv priest is a pretty hard counter to this deck...
+gtfffv when playing yogg fun priest i enjoy every warlock encounter because its SO easy
+gtfffv Try playing this cancer as a Hunter, fucking impossible to win. Between this and Aggro Shaman the meta went from incredible right back to trash in a matter of days.
Zoo was always the deck against which I struggled the most and when I saw Forbidden Ritual I was so scared especially when I imagined the combo with Knife Juggler / Darkshire Councilman. But to my surprise I'd even consider it much easier to deal with as a priest now.
Shadowword: Horror has such a big impact and with Cult Apothecary, Darkshire Alchemist and Twilight Darkmender there are so many great options to heal, while getting a decent body on the board.
But I'd still rather play in the wild format, as losing Lightbomb represents quite a big deal in many matchups.
aggro will suck in standard - kripp 2016
+Kevin Sub 25 out of 30 cards are 3 mana or less how is that not aggro lol.
Not to mention the others get heavily discounted because you flood the board so they are very low mana too.
+MhDaMaster Zoo is a minion based board control deck
+MhDaMaster Because of how it plays, aggro is a different strategy than zoo.
Top Ten Top Tens Pfft then everyone on ladder is playing it wrong because they are always hitting my face unless the trade is insane like a 1/1 for a 4/1 insane or I have a 5 health and they have a PO along with a 1/1.
+MhDaMaster If they're avoiding your minions all together then you should be winning, because that's not how you win with zoo.
Darkshire Coucilman and Doom combo really well with Forbidden Ritual.
cancer wins again, so much for slowed down meta
Yeah, I dropped several board clears from my Priest into one of these and still didn't stop it. Starting to take a new look at Shadow Word Horror if this continues to grow in popularity.
Geez what's with those short sighted people thinking it's in anyway a good idea to dust all of Naxx and GvG. It's like they've never heard of Tavern Brawl or Adventures.
mmm, i don't care.
No one gives a shit about that to be honest.
+TF2PNub I just removed the shitty legendaries from that so im happy about it. Never used Maexxena or idk the guy that dies and makes u ragnoros.
+TF2PNub Implying its more worth it to keep them
+TF2PNub only the biggest casual nubs will care about that retarded stuff.
Way to go Kripp, now this is the only deck I see on ladder...
8:17
Not quite
+I Beat Skipperino Kripperino 1 second boy
+I Beat Skipperino Kripperino Dude I love the tear in your pic xD
Kripp putting kripp in the deck? Pogchamp
Such a bullsht deck
Just have to say Love this deck made it and it's killer in ranked play. Keep up the good work.
Control meta LUL
From my experience the Spawn of N'zoth is really good. I got the buff on at least two minions and sometimes a full board.
Missed Lethal @19:20 - Attack with Abusive Sergent, Mortal coil it, sheep gets buff from doggy. :D
Spawn of N'zoth really synergies well with most of the cards.
Wow, very nice deck. New to the channel. I'm a Hearthstone noob, been playing roughly 3 weeks now. Game is very addictive.
In what world we live in, where kripp enjoys a zoo deck! ooh the humanity...
Lol exactly my reaction on the first day of whispers. I didn't get any old gods or a tonne of C'Thun buffers so decided to just craft 2x forbidden ritual, 2x villager and a councilman. Totally destroyed everyone else and got easy 5 packs.
that last turn was insane :D
Yap, my first deck, kicks ass.And mine is kinda completely different.Glad I kept one juggler.
Update:removed the seekers, they rly dont work well with ritual.Ritual on the other hand is awesome, works with cult master,councilman,spawn etc etc
c'thun druid, control warrior and priest and tempo rogue is the best decks I've played. rogue is pretty insane TBH
I've teched in a Black Knight into my Zoo deck... And damn, it's been useful against all the Taunts!
Ive been running shadowbolt in my C'thun Reno lock to, its a replacement for darkbomb/implosion
Turns out losing Lightbomb, Deathlord, Zombie Chow, Sludge Belcher was pretty rough. When your best neutral Taunt before 7 mana is Senji Shieldmasta, that's pretty brutal for decks with poor AOE.
19:18 i was literally screaming at my monitor "YOU CAN MORTAL COIL YOUR OWN MINION AND GET THE DIRE WOLF BUFF! YOU'RE NOT ONE OFF!
What's most annoying part about darkshire, only counter we currently have for turn 3 - 5 HP is Shadow strike.
19:20 Attack with everything but the tentacle 2nd right to Direwolf Mortal Coil the Tentacle 1st right to Dire Wolf , PO the other tentacle is exact lethal
been having fun with a currupted Natt mill rouge. deals ok with this deck plenty of clear.
That was such a great ending
It's been 8 years...
You can craft juggler, and disenchant it for full price once you're bored with the deck (if you get bored quickly, that is)
22:55 I absolutely died laughing
One card that worked really GOOD!! for me was the Mukla's champion. Since i only have 1 sea giant i give mukla's champion a try and it was INSANE!
You know what's more crazy? Midrange Druid, it's insane how powerful it is right now
Also mage has Twilight Flamecaller which pretty much does the same thing Ravaging Ghoul does. Yeah it's a 2/2 but if you can use it as a board clear that's not very important. I haven't pulled that off yet though.
I tried making a dreadsteed/grimm patron warlock w/ councilman work, but this is probably just better.
thanks kirpp. i'd been doing extraordinary on ladder with zoo and i've found the hardest match up to be mirror. now you've guaranteed that it'll flood the ladder. :(
Saw this deck once playing crappy whatever's available Paladin. Consecration wrecked it, as did Cyclopean whatever (the taunt with +1 to health per enemy).
This was literally the first deck I made. I know I'm bad at deck building but dam it shattered decks
holy shit, that turn 6 lethal after a reno was insane. Now if you'd excuse me I need to go do some deck building
