Activate the Obelisk
A lot of cards look like a 5/5 prerelease, understandable to overhype them.

Just because you like what a card is doing doesn’t actually make it a 5/5, but ok.
Flame Ward
So a bigger explosive trap? I mean it’s probably good but I don’t think it’s meta breaking. 3.5/5
Big Quest Warlock (Theorycraft)
plot twist without betrug, dorian, or elekk doesnt feel right in this deck. You already have all the big deathrattles.
Plague of Flames
Clearly the majority of people don’t agree with you if this card is rated 4/5. So I’m not sure why you’re saying “we”. Yes it clears you’re board. Do you realize how many ways warlock can spawn tokens?, Let’s not even go into wild Even in standard the list is long.
You can simply not play it if you are ahead on board, just like you wouldn’t play any other board clear when you are ahead on board.
Do you realize it can be used on anything from 1 minion to a full board and how strong that type of utility is for removal at 1 mana? You’re wrong, and this card will be played.

With as many powerful new cards that warlock has gotten this expansion, it’s completely reasonable to think an overhaul of the current zoo deck will happen, just like it happened the last expansion when they got magic carpet. Zoo has existed since almost the start of the game, but in many many forms. Historically, it’s way more foolish to think zoo will stay the same from expansion to expansion than that it will change.
Plague of Flames
Nice circular logic: “Zoo will never play a card that gives them board control because zoo can’t lose board”. You really think Zoo wouldn’t play a card that can clear 8/8 giants for 1 mana?
Plague of Flames
“board is everything when playing zoo”. Yea, except until they have a card that can reset the board for 1 mana lmao
High Priest Amet
Not really as impressed by this card as everyone else. It’s good, but less scary than some other cards we’ve seen. Mostly because it relies so much on holding back cards and drawing this 1 of legendary to make the combo work. Almost every powerful combo from what we’ve seen so far will take multiple cards and 8-10 mana. And without cards like shadow visions/ scream priest just can’t make a “do nothing for 8 turns” game plan work anymore.
Other classes will be able to do just as powerful stuff sooner with less cards so I don’t see this being that strong in the upcoming meta 3/5
Diseased Vulture
I think the idea is you generate enough tempo to kill them before it matters. Zoo already runs flame imp and crystallizer, spirit bomb can easily fit in. Whats stopping them from running this then?
Beast Zoo self-damage and plot twist (Theorycraft)
included the lackeys but forgot the new recruiter lol
Diseased Vulture
Nice, my first thought is this+ spiritbomb + crystallizer on 6. Nice to see all warlock cards released so far seem in the playable to busted range. Zoo should be very powerful, as long as the plague card is good I think control will be good too.
I think the 2 rare dragon synergy cards that have been revealed so far for warlock make this an auto include.
