[@DietersYT]

Every single card/strategy worth playing has a hard counter.

[@DietersYT]

Also that’s partly why you run Armor and Prof X. You’d be surprised, this deck wins pretty hard against destroy archetypes. Jean and Valk also really disrupt them

Im BulkHuster your third opponent, i knew i was gonna make it to the video lol, i was playing LT Hela and was on one of my smoothest gold conquests without a single loss until i faced you, that Echo and Jean grey along with those "great" locations made it a "Living Hell" for me (see what i did there), i just couldnt do anything but i guess thats what happens when you get countered, gg man it was a pleasure i have learned alot from you👍

That opening was the best intro ever to a deck building guide! I love it!

[@Kibernizzle]

I tried my best with a Zoo deck yesterday - and lo and behold, Cozy the GOAT delivers immediately. Absolutely amazing editing and delivery in this one. Your content is really being produced with competence and in high quality!

[@unshackledkaiju]

Ok but cozy would kill it as a history teacher! 😂❤

[@DietersYT]

I created an almost identical Thanos Zoo deck (3:30) and played it to infinite the last two seasons. In my list I swap Ghost for Mojo (works AMAZING with Jean Grey) and Jeff for Dazzler since she usually ends up being a 3/6 with upside. Feeling pretty clever right now 😃 Edit: now you’re going to ruin my fun by making it popular 😅surprise factor was big for me

[@Stickyz]

That was literally a day 1 strategy for Jean Grey 😭

[@DietersYT]

@@Stickyz yeah, because it works…the cards have obvious synergy…and? Your point? Edit: for context, yes I did craft the deck pretty much right after Jean was released. Not sure if that somehow is bad in your opinion? Just don’t know why you replied with crying emoji

[@Stickyz]

@@DietersYT because you're saying you felt smart like you had new unique idea 💀

[@DietersYT]

@@Stickyz the idea of using Mojo with Jean Grey was not why I said that comment about being clever though…you’re putting words in my mouth… I said that because I handcrafted this deck on my own (without referencing any guides or lists) almost two months ago, and now I’m seeing creators finally pick up on it and the play rate go up. So yeah, I clearly did have a good idea before a lot of people and it allowed me to surprise many people and steal many cubes on two separate runs to infinite. Imagine if you created a home brew deck, took it to infinite twice, and then finally start seeing your favorite creators pick up on it almost two months down the road. It’s a good feeling; it’s validating. Not sure why you’d want to try and ruin that joy for me. Honestly man, the fact you felt the need to try (I say “try” because you failed) to put me, a complete stranger, down like that is a bit sad. I wish you all the best bud.

[@Stickyz]

@@DietersYT dude that's literally the same thing. You feel clever for making a deck everyone had already thought of. I don't know why you're writing so much it's not that deep.

I have played a Zoo deck two seasons ago and I have learned that it's good to have Ghost and then spam ones along Shannah the last turn. This way they can play Killmonger if they want and you don't care. ;) Also - Dazzler worked fine for me.

[@BattleBeast-MarvelSnap]

Thanos Zoo is absolutely insane. The hardest matchup for the build is probably SheNaut because of its power output but you have good counters. There’s a few ways you can run it but my version uses Spectrum because between Power & Soul Stones, Devil Dino, Klaw, Prof X, Armor, Cosmo and Super Skrull you have plenty of strong targets. You counter the big decks right now insanely hard.

[@leoboft6839]

Cinematic masterpiece

[@illiterateboi9209]

I've been preaching this 2 months ago with my thanos zoo deck. I reached infinity twice with it and I got ridiculed. Well no more!

[@Cold-grits]

Pixel armor is legit a good looking variant. I am so tickled she looks like she's doing one half of the fusion dance. She was in my shop a few days ago and I was so tempted to buy her. Next time I just might. I just bought Jean Grey. She just seemed like a good missing piece for a lot of the decks I've been running (mostly Thanos). From my experience she either completely shuts down someone's deck and ruins their life, or she's does basically nothing. I have a strong feeling she will be a main part of the meta sooner or later, and be even more valuable. Right now though shes still a super good card. Also. Spectrum I think needs a touch up. I just never like playing the card. For a 6 drop she's just kind of week .at only 5 power. In a zoo deck though with Blue Marvel and Kazar those buffs really add up along with her +2 buff.

[@DietersYT]

This is by far the best (honestly the only) list for Spectrum, imo I agree would love to see her buffed. Even just to a 6/6

[@AkashSingh-jv5im]

That was a great intro.

[@plugindave]

Been playin with a thanos destroy deck the last couple days and oh boy my killmonger sure does love running into these zoo decks lately

[@DietersYT]

It’s awesome when you run into strategies that you have counters for. That’s how you get those cube gainz!

[@plugindave]

@@DietersYT true true, oftentimes it does feel like the best way is to go for the counter meta approach. I'm tempted to try a zoo deck as it has been ages since I last tried one but am pretty wary of how killmonger is extremely present at the mo. I don't have Jean Grey but she's been able to slow me down when I run into her a few times on destroy (unless Death becomes free then it's usually no issue) and obviously the armours and stuff are pretty hard counters especially if I've nearly filled a lane with stones I wanted to destroy 🤣 I dunno I guess I'm just skeptical after generally finding zoo decks to not really be that scary when you have killmonger

[@DietersYT]

@@plugindaveI played a list similar to this (Mojo instead of Ghost / Dazzler instead of Jeff) to infinite the last two seasons. Trust me when I say it’s viable. The stats are there too - 3:30 Keep in mind, EVERY deck worth playing has a hard counter. KM is prevalent sure, but Armor and Prof X help to counteract that. Also, win rate is less important than cube gain rate and it’s usually pretty easy to pick out when to retreat with this deck (I.e. opponent drops Deadpool into Carnage as you’re playing out stones without Armor, then they snap on 3…) Usually if they are holding KM until later they will be prevented by Armor/X. Give the deck a shot! I promise it’s better than you think.

[@DietersYT]

@@plugindave also if you don’t have Jean I’d just toss in Dazzler, or maybe Cosmo (Cosmo can be tricky though since our own deck runs some key On Reveal abilities)

[@plugindave]

@@DietersYT Nice yeah i see folk doing it with Dazzler might just try it out, I hit Inf in the first week with a Legion High Evo deck so I guess there's nothin to lose 🤣 And good point about the retreat conditions too tbf, the decks that I find seem to work best r the ones that have super clear retreat cons as well as snap cons so when u put it that way it makes more sense

[@Modern_Atlas]

Played this deck for 5 games, went as follows. G1-Silver surfer Killmonger G2-Silver surfer Killmonger G3-Mirror G4-Silver surfer Killmonger G5-Silver surfer Killmonger Alright, imma head out 🫡

It was a tough decision here, I ended up going through another run of conquest, to have game 3 quit out on me after a 2 cube lose which felt like a waste. Ultimately I felt like the battle with the terrible dead space play, still had a lot of valid takeaways which is why I ended up keeping the full run. I’ll be it I had about 4 incredible conquest matches off camera I wish I could have recorded, but 🤷

Ghost to protect from killmonger and increase valk value? Fit? Work?

[@DietersYT]

It’s not needed imo. Armor and Prof X do much of the work. I hit infinite the past two seasons with an almost identical list. Also once you learn to pilot the deck you’ll find yourself playing around KM with easy, and if do get KM’d it’s usually a pretty easy decision to retreat with minimal cube loss (for example, if you see Deadpool/Carnage come down on 1/2 and you are playing out stones without Armor and they snap, it’s probably best to just retreat) I swap Ghost for Mojo (works amazing in the Jean lane, and can discourage the opponent from playing in to the lane they don’t know your going to Prof X). And I swap Jeff for Dazzler since she is usually a 3/6 with upside.
