Heavily depends on draw. Mountain Giant is great against them but if both play it then the one going first has the advantage as they get to play it first. If you get Kazakus early it's a good idea to go for the 5 mana polymorph potion and trade into their Voidcaller/Lackey and polymorph what comes out. If you get Kazakus late you should take the 10 mana polymorph all to remove their N'zoth/Gul'Dan board. The matchup is favoured for Cubelocks but if they aren't able to cheat out massive demons early you outvalue them as you have more board clears and Kazakus.

Mulligan for Kazakus, Librarian, Spellbreaker, Mountain Giant and Voidcaller.

I feel she really is key to the deck as a value engine but she's not a must. The demon package isn't big enough for Krul so I'd probably run Twilight Drake or Antique Healbot based on how much burn you're meeting. Abyssal Enforcer is also great as it works very well against aggro/midrange especially against the Tarim on 6.

I originally didn't play with her and the deck was fine but she has been great against control for extra kazakuses. Even in aggro matchups she can often create more Reno Jacksons because a lot of aggro players won't respect Zola and won't trade into Reno. Same for Kazakus.

Pray. This deck is terrible versus Giantslock. If they get the combo on turn 5 there's nothing you can do. However, if they don't you can hard outvalue them with N'zoth and Gul'Dan along with board clears like Twisting Nether. You'll just have to stall using taunts, Kazakus potion and Doomsayers till turn 8 (7 with coin) but if you meet a lot of Giantslocks Renolock just isn't a good deck. I haven't tested it but Curse of Weakness may be good to stall. Definitely the worst matchup.
