Weaknesses of Naya Zoo
Modern forum

I just am looking to see what the weakness of Naya zoo are. I know it gets hit hard by creature removal, and life gain. What are some other weaknesses?

martyr decks, Tokens & lifelink, black/white tokens being a particular thorn in my side

Pretty much what everyone else has said. Token and creature hatred.

Anger of the Gods kills most, if not all, the creatures in little zoo. G/B/x decks tend to do fairly well against Zoo. Wall of Omens and Gideon Jura do pretty damn well too.
Depending on your land base, Blood Moon can be pretty rough as well.

Is this the wrong zoo, or would Blood Moon also help hinder?

I have two Pyroclasm in my naya zoo sideboard and Leyline of Punishment . Melira, Sylvok Outcast is a must in competitive meta's, also Gaddock Teeg is good for locking out wrath + tron and perhaps Vexing Shusher against control

Lmao Melira, Sylvok Outcast as a sideboard for zoo is definitely not a "must in competitive meta" It's not a good sideboard in pretty much any real meta.

I've played infect before. And never have I been upset to see a Melira, Sylvok Outcast on the board, because I can pretty easily deal 20 damage with the deck. It's silly to say It's a good sideboard card.

to be honest against infect all you need is a one drop removal spell in your sideboard. I feel like you take out the turn 1 glistener elf and infect decks have really trouble surviving.

The way to beat infect is go turn one land turn two land Spellskite . Spellskite is very good in modern, and belongs in most sideboards in the format.

Fair point, guess i'm just used to playing selesnya and seeing Phyrexian Crusader walk right through -_- still it's the only way asside from ultimate on Karn to reset poison

Just use Spellskite to steal their buffs.
Spellskite is useful elsewhere too, and should definitely be in sideboards, if needed.

mass removal and solid blockers to give them time to establish works to
