I can't say I've kept up with the meta too hard, but I've never thought to myself "this Zoo Priest is just too overwhelming." Yes, Zoo priest was the highest winrate deck at legend, and didn't have any terrible matchups (lowest winrate matchup was like 45%). This was due to a number of added cards. The 2 mana 2/3 that heals adjacent minions to full. The 2 mana 2/6 taunt that deals 3 damage to itself. The 4 mana 2/7 that sets every minion that enters play to its health. The 4 mana 3/1 battlecry revive a minion and give it reborn These all work together rather well. Normally, if you expect to die to Divine Spirit Inner Fire, you can just damage your opponent's stuff, but when they have a full heal card, that's not good enough. Well if you can't damage their stuff, and they can full heal, I guess you need to just kill their Injured Blademasters right? And...sure, seems reasonable, except if they resurrect it with reborn that's really bad. Honestly I can't figure out how I should be playing against this deck, cause almost everything you can do to them they can punish quite hard. That said, you might be quick to point out that I didn't actually mention "Extra Arms" anywhere in that paragraph and you'd be right. Extra Arms is...just a good card. It's straight up better than Blessing of Kings. It's maybe the 5th best card in the deck at the moment...but that makes it weaker than Power Word Shield for example. I think they wanted the deck to still be a thing, they just wanted it to be weaker. --- Cats land on their feet. Toast lands peanut butter side down.
