The deck started as an aggressive Naya Zoo but since black has much to offer (e.g. quality removal) I switched to 4ColorZoo. I like the inclusion of Scapeshift in Zoo decks which I have seen first in some versions of Extended Zoo decks last season.
Actually the best reason to play Scapeshift, which noone else mentioned so far, is to combine it with Steppe Lynx, Plated Geopede, Lotus Cobra and Vinelasher Kudzu. You play all fetch lands anyway, so there is no downside for adding Scapeshift+Valakut IMO. Main use is to get the most out of Landfall. The combo kill with Valakut to steal some games when the opponent is about to recover is just added bonus.
@Ball.Lightning: Don't forget to add Dryad Arbor if you want to play Natural Order!
Some other ideas about 5ColorZoo:
- What do you guys think about some disruption/discard (Thoughtseize, Duress, Tidehollow Sculler, Gerrad's Verdict...)?
- Where is Lightning Angel?
- Are counters (Mana Leak, Remand, Memory Lapse, Delay,...) viable?
That's all from me for today.
