I feel like {Steppe Lynx} would fit better than {Loam Lion}

That's very true when you are running 6-10 fetches, which presumably isn't happening due to budget constraints. I feel like this deck needs {Scavenging Ooze} more than {Vexing Devil}, however.

For sure lynx over lion when fetches are prevelant.  I can see where ooze would fit better then vexing thanks!

Nice to see a Naya build, I'd consider dropping the hawks for any of these:  {Domri Rade}  {Knight of the Reliquary}  {Ghor-Clan Rampager}

I think  {Boros Charm} will also see play in some Naya zoo builds.

Right on man thanks. I do like domri for zoo seems to fit well. I would always run the knight if I were playing the landfall version you are playing with lynx. Boros charm seems good for sure. Will prob drop two vexing and the journeys for a set! Thanks!

{{Goblin Guide}}>Vexing Devil.

Haha everyone says no the the little devil.  {Scavenging Ooze} now goblin guide!  What's a zoo keeper to do!

Goblin guide and Scooze are different cards, don't relate them like that.

Haha. Don't worry... I get it.... There's no relations going on. Heck I might just stick {Gaddock Teeg} in there and be done with it. Haha.

Made a few changes after picking up a couple of  {Qasali Pridemage}   I feel like Thalia and spirit of the labyrinth can make this build viable. Still would like to find a spot for goblin guide.

Wait, why?

Because goblin guide is a 2/2 for 1 with haste. One of the best red beaters.

But vexing devil has the potential to do twice that much on t1 and then if you don't sac it you just swing for the same damage the guide would have done in two turns

Yea I'm torn might run two and two see which plays out better.

I remember playing Vexing while it was still standard

Wasn't that long ago!   How do you feel about  {Xenagos, the Reveler}?

I think he's good but not nearly as good in modern because he's a turn five play, meaning there will almost always be a good response for him
