Mulligan Guide

General

Ideally popping your egg early is the strongest start for this deck, all the better if you get the coin. Coin into Nerubian turn 1, Power Overwhelming/Demonfire to pop it turn 2 is absolute ideal. With 4 health on the Nerubian it's difficult to remove early, leaving your opponent scrambling to answer. DW Alpha and Lance Carrier can always be used to give the egg attack if a spell pop is unavailable.  Brann is always helpful to snag early, as you'll be wanting him to set up those later combos. If you don't have access to an egg pop combo, Void Walker paired with Demonfire can bring some turn 2 heat. Use battlecries wisely, your heaviest hitter is your Reliquary Seeker, and paired with Brann makes a lethal combination.

Deck Description

Zoo Lock is the basic black of Hearthstone: It doesn't ever go out of style. I've tweaked mine just a bit for the new expansion, looking more in the direction of battlecry and maximizing the potential of Reliquary Seeker. I've only added in one forbidden ritual because it should be utilized a little bit later in the game to cover when the hand is looking sparse. Despite the nerf on knife juggler I still like to use it in zoo decks because you get the maximum value out of the card in this setting.
