Intro:
Hey guys! This is a deck I made to make use of my Malygos and it has been performing well in my past few games! I don't have a lot of games played, but I have 74% winrate in my past 20 games (which isn't much, I need to play more.)
Deck Idea:
The main idea with this deck was to have the Kingsbane package to help control the board and for extra burst with Malygos. Being able to hit your enemy with a huge Kingsbane and then finishing them with the combo is amazing! The Kingsbane gives you an easy way to remove large minions or to clear the board with Blade Flurry. The added lifesteal on the Kingsbane allows you to last longer in your games to draw your combo.
Combos:
I made this deck with the ability to OTK from Illusionist pulling Malygos or from playing Malygos turn 9. There are a lot of ways to OTK since there are Sinister Strikes, Eviscerates, Razorpetal Volleys, and Kingsbane. I listed a few combos below, but you can change the cards in the combo based on your hand. You may have preps or coins to make the combo cheaper, etc.
Malygos from Illusionist + Sinister Strike (8) + Sinister Strike (8) + Eviscerate (9) + Eviscerate (9) = 34
Play Malygos turn 10 + Sinister Strike (8) + Coin + Sinister Strike (8) + Prep + Eviscerate (9) + Prep + Eviscerate (9) =34
Mulligan:
The mulligan is pretty easy. You want to keep Malygos combo cards and Kingsbane cards. This is a general mulligan and you will need to change this for the deck you are going against. For example, when facing Aggro Pally, you want to keep Fan of Knives or Blade Flurry. And when facing Cubelock, you want to keep Sap and Vanish.
Change Log:
3/10 -1 Razorpetal Volley , + 1 Preparation
3/13 - + 1 Preparation, - 1 Evasion, - 2 Southsea Squidface, - 2 Cavern Shinyfinder, -1 Vanish, + 2 Shadowsteps, + 1 Gadgetzan Auctioneer
Please leave your feedback and tweaks in the comments! I am an intermediate player and am new to deck building so I would love feedback. I want to work with you guys to make this a fun and competitive deck!
I hate Rogue but this deck made me not hate it as much :)
:)
I think this deck isnt about overpowering our kingsbane but otk, so its slow deck and we need malygos in hand to win this. So i think its better to cut off both Southsea Squidface and add two Evasion instead. It has more synergy with Elven Minstrel and gives us MORE time against many decks. Yeah we cut off ~4 damage (but actually every game i face silence with min 1 duplicate, mb 2 if its priest), but in case we have no lifesteal in mid game, this damage is useless. Also, we can replace Bloodmage Thalnos with Gadgetzan Auctioneer, but i dont think its more effective, because Thalnos helps agains aggro and paladin decks, so i dont recommend it, but just give you idea. Also, we can place Shadowstep instead of 1 Cavern Shinyfinder, or even both of them to make combo less expensive and have additional damage in total to kill even druid with such a bunch of armor, but it will be risky choice. This deck will suffer from cubelock and mb controllock, but they will be afraid of idea they play against mill rogue and try not to overdraw cards, but its another story. Thx for deck, have a nice day, i hope my comment helped you.
I made these changes and this deck operates better. I like the addition of the Auctioneer for card draw. It really allows you to cycle the deck to get your combo. The Evasions have been a lifesaver in aggro games. Thanks for the input! :D
the deck is way to slow in the current meta and to get the "dreamcombo" its almost impossible.
You mean this deck or Malygos decks in general? What do you think I could switch up to make this a better deck? Thanks for the feedback! :D
Yeah, I feel you. That's why I wanted to make a Malygos list. Rogue got hit really hard and all the new decks just stomp Rogue. So I decided to see if I could make a Malygos deck for ladder to have fun in this dry spell for Rogue. Turns out, like you said, it doesn't work very well. I can destroy Control decks, but Aggro is a different story! Thanks for the feedback! :D
enemy plays skulking geist = game over just saying ._.
What happened my very first game :P
Surprisingly, I have never had that happen but I can see that being a huge issue. Do you think I could tweak something in the deck to still have a win condition if they play Geist?
Its not the worst thing can happen, we can use Razorpetal Volley after opponent makes a geist (if he has it), if he doesnt, we kill him with Sinister Strike and Eviscerate or something else.
The second combo you listed requires two Preparation spells. There is only 1 listed in your deck, however.
I switched to running two preps in my deck and forgot to change the list. I will get that changed when I have free time! Thanks for letting me know!
I really do like these types of decks and appreciate you making this and sharing it with the community. However, I am having a hard time winning with this deck. The problem I'm having is lacking the card draw to get the combo in my hand or dying before having malygos on the board and having enough spells to OTK. Do you have any tips on how to overcome this problem?
Try to keep cheap cards to combo with the Minstrels for card draw. I may also add some card draw into the deck because I have had the same problem in some of my games. Thanks for the feedback!
Hey, thanks for the list. I have trouble killing my Illusionist, how do you manage it?
One of the best ways is to use Thalnos and then 3 DMG Backstab on your Illusionist. You can also use Eviserate or Doomerang to pop it. A lof of games your opponent will just let it live and then you can trade it into his minions. Remember, you can do the combo without Illusionist, so if it fails just keep your combo cards for turn 10.
