Banshee ZUG is a med-fast snowball that can pressure the enemy to waste a lot of resources. This is an easy deck to use for ranking up from 0 - 3000.

Tank and Spank
- Hold always at least 5 gold. Summon a Tank + Range minion. You want to cover both range and melee when you place them down. Due to how strong these units are, you should not lose a skirmish fight.
- Plague Farmer should be cycled constantly. The poison does wonders against the ground units and the enemy towers. Just make sure you don't have him as your only range unit in a Tank + Range ZUG.
-Blizzard large groups of enemies that your range team cannot handle. You can use this spell offensively or defensively. Just remember when you use it, you are greatly reducing you resources to control the board with your units. You only want to use this as a last resort.
-Quilboar can be used as a tank in your ZUG if the starting hand is not favorable.
-Prowler can be played from the back, due to it being a fast minion. Use it for distractions or getting chests.
-Sometimes a bad hand will require you to place two tanks or two range minions. Just place from the back of the base to give you time to regenerate the gold to place a missing mini for your ZUG.

Counters to watch
-The bread and butter for this deck is to always have your Tank + Range combo up at all times. Your opponent will do their best to disrupt that flow. Make sure you attack from both ends of the map or else you will be countered easily by AoE.
-Be careful not to summon your range too close to your tank.
-Unbound minis will be hard to deal with, but because 70% of your deck is under 4 gold, you should be able to cycle pretty quick.

Substitutes
-Darkspear Troll can be switched with Witch Doctor (Spirit Ward). It can help keep minions alive and dish a bit of damage. Just not as much as the Darkspear Troll.
-Sylvanas can use the talent Forsaken Fury, since half of your units will benefit from it.
-Prowler can be switched with a CYCLE|UNBOUND family if needed, since it is not a major card for this deck. It is great to have, but sometimes you may want the gold from Dark Iron Miner or an unbound unit like S.A.F.E Pilot
-Cheat Death (Vampirism) can be used instead of Blizzard. If used correctly, it can help remove large groups by keeping your minis alive longer. It can also keep your Banshee from Sylvanas alive longer, if you can get it off in time.
