All 1-2 drops are good, sometimes Coin + Darkshire Councilman is very good drop for second turn. 

Hello, I am EU server’s player and took legend in this season using different agro decks. One of them is here.

I am not sure that zoo warlock is very good deck for climbing in ladder. But due to a lot of rogues in tournaments, zoo decks are very powerful in competition. And quest or mirracle rogues have big problems against fast zoo decks (pirat warrior, zoolock, token druid, even midrange hunt). I had matches 0-2 and then I won with 3-2 against rogues. Also aggro decks are very fast and have a good chance against slow decks (jade druid, priests, mages). Aggro against agro depends on great hand and chance 50% to win!  Zoo decks are very easy to play so you will not do a lot mistakes. The taunts guys like quest warrior or element shaman are very big problem, so I recommend to ban and to avoid them. 

Here we have 10 minions for 1 mana drop, 6 for 2 mana and 5 for 3 and 4 mana. So it’s very easy to find 1,2,3 drops and start pressuring the opponent.

Your main task is clear the desk and save minions, so use for it Soulfire if you have. You can discard maximum 7 cards, hence Malchezaar's Imp and Silverware Golem  will help you to seize the initiative.

I think this version is quite standard, but I have just 1 copy of Ravasaur Runt and Devilsaur Egg because these cards are very situational. Fire Fly is very good card to fill mana holes with good stats 1-2. This deck is with relatively low discarding, so I decided to use 1 Succubus with great stats for 2 mana 4-3.

The highlight here is Genzo, the Shark. Every agro deck has problems with cards in hand and this guy with good stats (5-4) can help with it. And I noticed that rogue has the problems with him. She has 3 or more cards in hand usually. Hence she is either forced to kill him or you will take extra cards.

If you are playing againts agro, Genzo, the Shark is very good aim for discarding.

Remember that Genzo, the Shark is not a core person here, but he has a good potential for aggro decks, especially against non-aggro one.
