[Deck] Zoo

[ZeinVoncy]

Not exactly new to Zoo, but I've had a few rounds against them. I built the deck for my friend and she loves it, and I've always asked myself what the scoop is. This is the deck I've built, I don't really do tournaments, I just have decks for a friends to play with. I go to tournaments on rare occasion and I was about trying Zoo.

Discussion Cards:

Stoneforge Mystic - I am unsure if I should be picking these up and using for my Equipment. Especially with more future So's coming out. If not mystic, then why not Enlightened Tutor. I'm not sure if Zoo based decks run it, I do not see it fitting.

Grim Lavamancer - I'm trying to acquire at least 1-2 more of these. I'd be looking to cut 1x Mother of Runes and 1x Bloodbraid Elf.

Bloodbraid Elf - Again, not sure if Zoo would typically run this, but I am generally glad to be casting it. Digs to my equipment quicker and most times, most, it gives me something I can. It clashes with Swords on rare occasion, but I have always favored them. Mayhap 4x is a bit much, is a reason to looking to replace 1 with Grim Lavamancer.

Null Rod - Was looking to add 2x to my S/B or it I'd need more.

Phyrexian Revoker vs Pithing Needle - Would it be useful? Could name Vial, Stoneforge, Lands, etc.

Baneslayer Angel - I'm aware that Big Zoo runs this, and I think it's nice, but the Equipment just end up doing a lot more.

I have followed the thread a bit. Just taking a better step into the thread I guess you can say.
