    Got a tablet from work, so I reinstalled this to see how things are. I stopped playing just after KFT, so I'm more or less 3 expansions behind. Have to say I am, the solo content is easily my favourite thing so far. Went 7/8 then 6/8 in my first attempts at the dungeon run, and 4/8 in my first Witchwood with the Cannoneer. I think if this sort of thing had been in earlier I wouldn't have stopped playing at all!

    -draw every card with nourish and UI
    -claw/gnash/bite/swipe/starfire/branching paths/ etc.

    they can OTK, but usually kill on turn 2-3 because they time out on t1 or draw suboptimally.

    druids have a lot of armor gain and draw spells, which lets them blow a lot of cards in one turn if they get a couple nourish/UAs to play

    I played five or six brawls as druid just for giggles, and I think I OTKed the opponent two or three times on my first turn. The only time I lost was when another druid went first and did it to me

    1. This brawl - it's bad. Druid OTK or bust.
    2. Lifesteal Zoo - I'm 1-10 with it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can't keep anyone alive long enough to actually attack or be buffed or anything. Games regularly go way too long and I lose.
    3. That Hunter Legendary Recruit deck posted a page back? I'm 1-10 with that too. Again, don't know what I'm doing wrong.

    At this rate I'll drop completely to rank 20 before I get my 5 wins for the month.

    Well, guessing it's related to the event we just had with Toki, and the funny date also seems to provide some foreshadowing there. Unless it's just a giant red herring.

    New VS Report is up.
    However, Gul’dan may have found another way to dominate, one that bypasses Valeera’s watch. Over the last month, we’ve often mentioned that Zoo Warlock was actually a fairly strong deck that was underplayed, neglected and ignored by the player base. Now, these statements appear to be validated, as the archetype has finally seen significant developments over the past week. While Standard Zoo builds have already displayed a good win rate, Zoo’s win rate spiked very hard in early July as a result of the emergence of a new Healing Zoo variant. Yes, Healing Zoo. At the moment, it’s projected to be the best Warlock deck and one of the best decks in the game. A deck that plays Voodoo Doctor could land in Tier 1, circumstances willing. This is not a drill.

    Also, HS Replay has moved Zoo into Tier 1, basically on par with Even Shaman.

    The last time they did this brawl druid was completely busted. You don't even need to go first because you can get your opponent down low enough they can't do anything.

    Go first and win 99% of the time.

    UI is THE most broken card in Blood Magic brawl. 0 mana, Summon a 5/5, Draw 5 cards, Reduce each player's health by 5.

    Edit: Alternatively, kill a minion (usually the other druid's 5/5) and reduce only your own health by 5.

    Heal zoo is all kinds of dumb,

    Rank 7 to Rank 5. 9 wins 3 losses, 75% winrate. Despite @bwanie coming in and stealing my mojo.

    Final boss was even Warlock. At the end I finally drew my Leeroy, but at this point DK hero power had healed them up to 1 health out of range. Almost conceded (would’ve been dead next turn) until I realised I still had a soulfire in my deck.

    5 cards left in deck. I hit life tap and... I drew it for lethal.

    Feels good. Rank 5 day 5 while still on vacation. Probably about time I made a run at legend.

    Just went through the history in track-o-bot. And while I got lucky with them not drawing hellfires til later in the game, and playing around defile well enough that they had to use them both on a single turn to get anything done, between them healing face and dropping hooked reavers/sunfurying giants I did around 79 damage to taunts and their face.

    They probably would've beaten me if I'd been straight up zoo, but the amount of healing this deck has for your own face allowed me to prolong until I had just enough to get across the line (though if I'd drawn leeroy on any of the preceeding 3 turns I would've had the win)

    I had it in hand on turn 6, but played it on turn 7 due to playing around defile.

    I'd drawn 8 of the 27 other minions (not including kele) in the deck at that point having gone second and tapped once on turn 2 (opponent had played Doomsayer).

    I won on turn 14.

    Valeera's still my girl. Went 9-0 with odd rogue from rank 9 to 5. The healing zoo deck can have some explosive turns, but if they don't they are just playing suboptimal cards.
