Midrange Demon Zoo Warlock is the deck that is a spiritual successor of Demonlock. A deck that found popularity during SilentStorm’s win of the ESL Grand Final. Midrange Demon Zoo tightened up a bit since then, and now utilizes cards like Void Terror to get the most out of Nerubian Egg and Power Overwhelming. Voidcaller has found a dominant spot in the deck by summoning terrifying Demons like Doomguard and Mal'Ganis. In true Zoo fashion the deck punishes you with low cost and token minions that use Defender of Argus, Power Overwhelming, and Abusive Sergeant to get extra value. It then finishes you off with big threats like Doomguard, Mal'Ganis, and Dr. Boom.
Midrange Demon Zoo Warlock Tech Cards
Sea Giant goes in and out of the deck depending on how you view the meta. Dire Wolf Alpha is considered when wanting to get extra value out of your token minions. Another Bane of Doom can be added to generate strong Demons and get more out of the buff from Mal'Ganis.
Midrange Demon Zoo Update December 2015
League of Explorers adds Dark Peddler to the deck!
Anything to replace dark peddler?
I haven’t start LoE so far
Dire Wolf Alpha and one Bane of Doom. You could also just do double Dire Wolf Alpha.
Sea giant is a good card to this deck too
which one is better? İs this deck or aggro zoo?
Could loatheb replace one of the legendaries and what could be another replacement for the other? Thank you!
I would just play this deck instead: http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/aggro-warlock-zoo-deck-list/
why use dark peddler?
Warlock has good 1-drops, and 2/2 stats aren’t too bad.
Why not run a faceless manipulator? You could get extra bufs from mal, duplicate a good Void Terror, and it would not be wasted by Voidcallers.
Used this deck to climb ladder last season, had a lot of fun… It inspired an idea for another zoo deck that I took even higher. I just posted the new deck today, I’d like some feedback, try it out.

Big Game Hunter is also a strong consideration, it’s great at keeping up the tempo and can be comboed with Abusive Sargent occasionally for much of the same purpose.
How good is this deck currently? Is it still better than Kolento’s version?
This is very solid, it just matters what kind of style you like.
I often run out of health, lol, so can I add heal in this deck? if yes, in place of what can I add it?
subbing boom troggzor just because i got a gold one lol
I have dust to craft one legendary do you think Mal’ganis is more important to this deck than Dr.Boom??
Dr. Boom fits in a lot more decks so I would always craft that first.
Is this deck still good? Secretdin, Tempo Mage, Demon Zoo, or Demon Handlock in this meta?
It’s better now with the Patron nerf.
I want a challenge with my decks now, but I’ve already crafted both my MCs :(. Just wondering, is Demon Zoo worth playing in this meta, or should I stick with Demon Handlock?
Demon Zoo is worth playing right now, but I’d try to stick with one deck if possible.
no dr boom or ganis…. now what?
Sylvanas and Loatheb. It will be tough to play this deck without Mal’ganis.
Win rate?
Is there anyway to replace Malganis? I tried Majordomo, but Idk honestly. I have most of the cards except implosion, void terror and voidcaller.
I wouldn’t use Majordomo, that’s a pretty bad card. Mal’ganis is pretty tough to replace because of the affect it has on the board. You might try Fearsome Doomguard just to add a big demon.
Well I got most of the cards now. And Thanks I will try that. Now I just need malanis and a void terror.
This deck seems powerful at first sight, but is it strong enough for a legend run?
Replacements for Dr. Boom?
Loatheb or Sylvanas Windrunner.
is there a replacement for bane of doom?
You can add a Sea Giant if you have it.
The Flame Imps just feel brutal near the late game with all the Secrets Paladins and Tempo Mages going around. Is playing even worth it near the latter game to keep up tempo?
What can you replace mal,GANIS with?
If you dont have a malganis i would recommend you putting in a healbot or maybe loatheb, Thats what i did and it works fine with either one.
malganis is too good you almost should try and find cards to dust in order to make this. The fact that you can get it off a voidcaller of something like shadow flame or a value trade is really good especially if your making imps of imp gang
i run this deck, but i always end up with dead void terrors, and one more doomguard than i need. i run sylvanas instead of 1xdoomguard, and lord juraxxus instead of 1x void terror
any tgt updates?
None that I have seen officially, But personally, I have:
-2 eggs
-1 Power
-1 Flame Imp
+2 Lance Carrier
+1 Sea Giant
+1 Enhanco
Flows pretty well
lance carrier would be the only viable option eggs are too good power overwhelming is too good flame imps are too good sea giant is ok but relies on you overextending in order to get value from it. Only thing I really have is -bane + shadow flame. And I dusted my void terrors so I’m running lance carriers over those but I think either could work.
I use sea giant instead of Mal’ Ganis simply because I dont have it.
I have succeeded with this deck so far ( 7 – 0) from rank 12 to rank 9
I’ll post later results
why no loatheb?
THIS DECK IS GOOD AGAINST STRONG DECKS LIKE PATRON WARRIOR,OIL ROUGE,HANDLOCK WARLOCK BUT IT IS BAD AGAINST AGGRO
This one hell of a deck. The tempo in it is real, i do not have imp gang boss and i have replaced it with imp master x2 . It works ok for me.
if i have not the imp gang boss, what can i do?
Use imp master instead.
Imp Master if you want to token synergy with Mal’Ganis or you could put in another Bane of Doom and a Hellfire. I like hellfire because it s a way to recover if you get overrun by Patrons
do not use hellfire because you can kill the patron warrior very easy and fast until they can cast the combo
