Obviously, Keleseth is the crown jewel of any deck he's been shoved into. Since the bonus Firefly won't get buffed it's not important to keep it in deck. You probably want one Voidwalker to protect early Flame Imps but everything else will hopefully stay in deck for the Keleseth buff love. A devilsaur egg being able to kill itself with that one attack can be very helpful. Also, later in the game the egg riding a bonemare is high comedy and a great combo.

Also, always remember that if you're up against a Priest, buffing minions into a 4 attack is the sweet spot to avoid their main removals. Felguard and Fledgling won't get instantly wiped if Keleseth has sprinkled them with +'s first.

This is a budget Warlock Zoo deck with only one necessary Legendary and not a single Epic. I’ve removed the pirate package from most Zoo decks in favor of the Vicious Fledglings, Devilsaur Egg, and Eater of Secrets. The Eater is in there mainly because one of life’s greatest pleasures is to gulp down an Ice Block and murder a smug Mage when they least expect.

Cairne is present for the super sticky combo into Bonemare but could to further push the budget angle, could be replaced with another sticky (Sunwalker is a decent trade off) to ensure something is alive to hop on the Bonemare Express.

This basic template could easily be spiced up with some fancier cards but for beginning players it is a quick and dirty powerhouse that is fun to play and makes the climb into the high teens of rank play easily.

Some people hate the mana loss caused by Felguard so switching to a Lakkari Felhound can work if you prefer the discard penalty instead.

Main reason I build this deck is because I never was lucky enough to pull a Death Knight Gul’Dan and wanted to help others similarly unlucky.

You have a few viable attack threats in this deck with a the Councilmen, Fledglings and Scalebane working his sword magic. Hopefully your opponent will burn removals on a couple growing Councilmen so that the Fledgling will have time to thrive and grab the all important Membrane and Wind Fury.  

Let me know what you think and good luck out there.
