Soon I am going to begin the process of building my GR Zoo list below

SCORE: 8 | 4 COMMENTS | 524 VIEWSI'll be able to assemble it fairly soon, but without Goblin Guide as it is literally a third of the price of the deck. My main question is, what should i temporarily replace it with? Right now I am between these two options, though there may be a third option I am not aware of...
Monastery Swiftspear shares the hasty-ness go guide, while also benefiting from the 14 non-creature spells in the deck. Very good with Atarka's Command
Wild Nacatl Essentially a worse Kird Ape in the deck, just a 2/2 for one mana with no down side.
So, what do you all think? Also, if you have any more suggestions I'd love to hear them especially regarding the sideboard.

cosmokai2000 Hm, I'll admit I hadn't thought of that. However, that being said adding in a two drop in place of my most aggressive one drop seems like a big loss.

I don't really see any reason not to be playing white in here.

xlaleclx Personally, in my testing I have had more success with this variant of zoo over Naya. Naya's mana base is very painful and that really hurts against many decks in the current metagame. Plus, this deck rolls out shockingly consistent draws and tends to not burn out as much as would happen with Little Naya Zoo.

I know that this isn't the trades forum, but how much of this deck are you looking for? I recently dismantled a GR zoo variation, and have most of the pieces on hand.

Personally, I would suggest Scavenging Ooze. From experience, Wild Nacatl isn't worth playing unless you can get it to a 3/3 and Monastery Swiftspear won't be getting very big.
