TinyLock

Hello and welcome to another deck talk. Today I wanted to show an interesting build of ZooLock that includes Tiny Knight of Evil. I was intrigued by this card because of its ability to make already efficient creatures even better with the added +1/+1 it gets. Playing small combos like these can really swing tempo in your favor.

The playstyle of TinyLock is a lot like aggro shaman in that you generally want to be really aggressive. Tiny Knight is kind of like a card that just continues the tempo to get to a huge finisher like doomguard, power overwhelming, or soulfire. Also, when in a topdeck situation, make sure if you draw a card that discards, play it before tapping, it works much better.

Card Choices: I started playing this deck as just a zoo with Tiny Knight and a few other cards to synergize with it. However, later I realized I was losing a lot of value from discarding my cards. So I decided to put in lower-costed minions so I wasn’t losing as much value. Then I stopped using the zoo-style of play, opting for a more aggressive style to get more value out of my low-costed minions.

Cards I Cut: I started out using Fist of Jaraxus, but I ended up not liking it as discard effects are random and just playing the card is 4 mana so it wasn’t helpful in an aggressive deck. I also tested Sir Finley Mrrglton to try and get more relevant hero powers but realized he was also not that reliable and losing the warlock hero power is very bad since I found I needed to lean on it heavily with all the cards I was getting rid of.
