Analysis
Fun Fact! Zoo Rage's art was actually shown off months before the game's official release. You can see it on our Beta Cards page, where it was originally shown off in one of the tests for the ATLAS card frame.

Zoo Rage is a very potent unit damaging event with a comparable to Level 3 events in power level. The trade-off is that unlike other similar cards like Aether Ray Gun, its normal ability cannot be used as an Instant Action, making it reliant on the to disrupt your opponent. Of course, making abilities reliable is the specialty of 20. T - Trickster, so the card is an excellent fit there, where it can provide a Level 3 tier to a Ruler that generally can't access them.

Beyond 20. T - Trickster, Zoo Rage will probably be useful in other hand rulers as well. Level 3 damage s like The Buster Clothesline! or ZAPZAPZAP! have been difficult to use in most Hand Rulers in the past due to their huge normal cost. However, a card like this, where it gets that level of while having a low cost and decently useful normal effect, could fill that role much better than previous options.

Lastly, we have all the synergies provided to it by its attributes. Being a level 1 Firepower, Private "Daredevil" Rhino can return it to hand from the graveyard, very useful for 20. T - Trickster builds using the card. As a Zoo Brigade, it can be returned to deck for Helldiver Crimson Crusher's cost reduction. And with Martial Skill, it can be reactivated from the graveyard by Goldenscale Swordsman & Chimerala, Dragon Blood Princess. However, unfortunately, it lacks Military, so it won't be able to fuel Battalionslinger, Garson's cost reduction.
