Final Update: fun making it and playing it but pretty much done with it i might return to it at a later time
The point of this deck is to run lots of spells so with gnomish experimenter I get a free draw and then finish off the enemy with malygos. it started out as a joke when the season started and now it has a solid winrate and I was able to reach legend with it. I can create a full guide if this deck becomes popular enough.
Changes:-Edwin -Kobold +1 Violet +1 Antique. Reason for Violet: A second win condition. Cause it can get out of hand very fast. Reason for Antique: You have 0 healing and I have been going vs more hunters.
The latest changes were for the fact that I want prep to be almost always to use it on evis. sinister is a free 8 damage late game and with the rise of ramp druid you need the reach. auctioneer is alright im testing it currently.

Well do to the fact that people have been liking the deck ill post my winrate with it. I didn't use hearthtracker or record the wins aside from just putting the wins and losses on notepad. Wins-197 Losses- 71.
Mulligans. Handlock: aggressively look for 3 drops and violet and minions in general. Mage: Fan, backstab, SI7, experimenter, thalnos. Zoo and Hunter: board clears, backstab ,and SI7 perditions is strong as well. Control warrior: aggressively look for 3 drops and violet and minions in general. Ramp Druid:3 drops, backstab, thalnos. Pali: (100% winrate versus these guys) Fan, flurry,experimenter,SI7,thalnos. Rogue: (Only went vs mech rogue so that means you want to look for) board clears, thalnos, SI7, backstab, experimenter.
Is this deck (still) viable?
Someone did use this deck to Legend :P I was struggling in Rank 6-7 , losing streak on Malygos deck , switch to Miracle Rogue to have win streak to rank 6 again. I have no idea what to do against mech mages , hunters . They are just too fast. And warriors build up tons of armor which I can't even burst. Do you have any important tips to share?
I am new to HS and wanted to play a more spell oriented deck, I also managed to scrape this deck together b/c I'm interested in it. Sometimes I lack understanding of when its good to trade with this deck and when I need to deal damage with face. Any solid guidelines on that? I'm especially having trouble with Frost Mages.
HearthTracker , buddy
Ten games in and I love this deck. Crazy good draw. Rarely have I used Malygos for wins. Several wins around turn 7-8 just from the great control this gives you. Sitting at rank 5 right now and enjoying the deck.
Also Perdition's Blade vs Annoy-o-Tron feels fantastic.
i have been derpin' around with malygod decks , mosty for shaman n' rogue , i like the concept of those decks . they are gimmicky in a way but not really huhuhu ..i played your variation and don't really like the expirementer , i feel like the risks are way too high with basicly not that big of a reward , got Maly transformed like 2 times ;-; , All this science makes me feel sick .
Literally nothing, Malygos' ability is too distinct.
The only option I see is to add more sticky minions and/or token generatorsand use Ancient Mage
you can replace it with angry chicken, due to it having ridiculous synergy with gnomish experimenter
Great fun, thanks for sharing. I've been looking for a fun Rogue deck like this for a while!
Edit: I'm quite surprised at the amount of times that one Gnomish Experimenter has drawn the other and transformed it into a Chicken.
If you want spell damage go with Kobold Geomancer, if you want card draw go with Loot Hoarder.
In a deck like this I personally prefer the Geomancer, its 2/2 body comes in handy early game and since it's cheap its easy to play it then play a Fan of Knives which wipes the board.
You don't have to run the chicken guy in this deck, i feel like this is a solid deck without it but wouldn't have gotten much attention if not for the Experimenter. I tried this deck and in my opinion Experimenter made it worse.
I do agree that it wouldnt be very popular if not for Experimenter, but it is actually really strong allowing you to drop it turn 3 and either draw a spell which is a good plus or a chicken which is really nice cause you can use it to combo.
why bother with experimenter if all you're using it for is to draw out a card? why not just run gnomish inventor
I think 3-2 gives more pressure than 2-4. Thus , experimenter cost 1 mana lesser than inventor.
Yet you have 1/3 chance to get a 1/1 fail chicken and burn a important card of the deck
You don't "burn" a card , you get a "combo piece" 1 mana cost chicken to activate your other combo in situational stuffs is pretty good :)
RhysGod is pretty much the exact reason giving myself a chicken is not as big of downside as people think and if you draw a spell its very strong.
