Yeah I run a Murloc deck for the days when I don't want to think too hard and just want to have a bit of aggro fun | ||

It's my opponents turn now and I just noticed my yeti isn't frozen. Is this supposed to happen? Its suppose to be frozen even through your next turn after attacking. | ||

Any ideas? Allow me to finally answer my own question after seemingly having a bit more luck lately. Maybe it will help someone else  As well as changing my deck (removing one owl and shadow bolt for Shieldmasta and an extra Sunwalker) I also found a fault in my playstyle. When facing rush/zoo decks, what I would want to do is try to get out minions as fast as possible, best case being ancient with Owl or Sunfury on turn 2 if coin)..this is apparently shit against zoo. You only end up delaying the damage you'll take while your big minions now either wont come out or come out weak. Just Life tapping to round 3/4 and get a Twilight Drake or Mountain Giant out seems to work out much better. Yeah, if your opponent gets a good start you might end up taking so much damage you either outright die or get too low to recover, but that is the nature of Zoo and Rush, if they have perfect hand, nothing can stop it. Most of the time though, you'll end up somewhere between 10 and 15 health before getting up your first taunted giant on round 4 or 5..and now you have a taunted giant on round 4 or 5, that he will have huge trouble dealing with. Even if he gets through it after suiciding most or all of his minions, he's now low on minions and you've gotten to a point where you can stabilize with more taunts, healing, removal, etc. | ||

The only time tapping for a Mountain Giant turn 4 play is valid is when your opponent has a terrible start with Zoo. Drakes are arguable but better since you can still play them, just with less health. Mulligans should strictly be for Watchers, Sunfuries, Molten Giants and Hellfire. | ||

Thats what I had been doing when I had a 100% loss ratio vs zoo. I'm telling you it doesn't work. Molten giants are amazing and always 100% keep, but throwing out weaklings that does nothing but delay your own big minions is not the way to go. Zoo doesn't have any trouble dealing with your 4 and 5 health minions while pushing out more. The real problem starts when you get your 8 and 9 health minions with taunt out. Even if they driver 3 or 4 of their own to clear it, you're at a point where you can get another one up the turn after. | ||

Gold Shire footman : Its not hated because of its taunt, but because of its stats 1/2 1/2 trades equally but loses to 2 drops in value , meaning any 2 drop 3/2 or 2/3 can take it out and still stay alive. 1 mana cost drops with 2/1 stats like worgen are preferred as they can trade with 3/2 or put more pressure on the board (leper gnome ex if you want to rush) Its actually not that bad for zoo decks: i.e. decks with a lot of low cost minions. Problem: Void walker is strictly better. Shield bearer: It cant attack and doesnt damage the minions it attacks (unlike a taunted ancient watcher). You basically throw away a card for slightly delaying your opponent. This could be usefull in some decks, for example freeze mage. Proble: Freeze mage has mirror image which is better in most cases (tanks 2 attacks, is a spell; allthough it is worse against board clear) It is used in Zoo decks (decks with a lot of low cost creatures that are hard to remove and buff each other, trying to get board control quickly). Here it can get buffed by dire wolf alpha / shattered sun cleric / abusive seargent / defender of argus so its able to attack. Thus it can make use of its 4 stats for 1 mana. void Walker / Mirror images : No hate , those are being used successfully | ||
