Hello , this is the first guide for a deck I've written so I apologize in advance if I am unclear about certain things.
I believe this deck is one of the many reasons why Emperor Thaurissan is so OP
This deck was viable before BRM was released and with the emperor the OTK is much easier to pull off.
A usual scenario would be: playing Ancestor's Call for 4 , summoning Malygos from your hand (only minion) and then having 6 mana left over to cast spells such as, Crackle, Lava Burst and Lightning Bolt to the opponents face for lethal.
- Only play Ancestor's Call when malygos is the only minion in your hand, unless you are in a desperate situation and need the gamble.
- You can play Emperor Thaurissan anytime you like as long as you have a decent amount of combo cards to be discounted in your hand. Emperor doesn't need to stay on the board long and 1x discount is good enough.
Your Combo cards are: Ancestor's Call, Lava Burst , Crackle , Lightning Bolt and Frost Shock(if you decide to run it). These are the cards you want to discount with emperor
Other variants of this deck may run Azure Drake or Antique Healbot but that is up to preference. I do not run them because having such high cost minions may be annoying when you try to play Ancestor's Call. If you discounted your combo cards playing a 3mana minion before ancestor calling your malygos is still possible to OTK the opponent. My opinion about running azure drake and healbot in this deck may change in the future after further testing.
Other viable card options may include alextraza and zombie chow. Generally any control oriented cards are good.
Generally in any match up you would want to mulligan for eartshocks and early removals. In control match ups you can be greedy and keep malygos or emperor if they are ever in your opening hand.
Really fun deck, i like running -1 vitality totem +1 antique healbot because it contest the opponents board and is a bit more flexible. i don't have bloodmage thalanos which is definitely bit of a problem, but it leaves room for a lava shock which is a MUST in my opinion but, is mostly preference. I find the overloads often keep me from OTK my oponent by a mana or two and being able to hit face with the lava shock really helps with the damage to face, as well as early on to deal with heavy aggression. I also run -1 lava burst +1 rockbiter weapon again for the flexability with mana cost for the OTK and it can deal with a pesky minion in the early game.
vitality can be replaced with antique healbot . and any form of card draw can replace farsight. bloodmage i recomend crafting as it is a very good card which many decks use.
you only need the first wing of BRM the rest of the wings are just not worth it campared to naxx
I have all the cards to play this deck except both Far Sights.
I'm really reluctant to craft Far Sights as those cards are junk outside this type of deck and 800 dust is a lot.
Just wondering if anyone who plays this deck could mention what are the good and bad match ups. Are there any really lopsided match ups where this deck almost always loses?
Loatheb seems to interfere an awful lot when i'm about to win next turn >:(
I got OTK by one of these decks. The worst moment of my life. I don't have a malygos, so I hate this deck. If I did have one, I would probably love it.
hey may be you have amaz deck? with belcher/healbot?
Just confused with oracles, this is not mill so isn't adding cards to your opponents hand bad? I think loothorder is better because of the carddraw and can do a bit of damage.
How is your early game with this deck? I used to play a more spell-focused deck like this but found that I got wrecked early on and couldn't survive until the Malygos OTK. My version of the deck runs Zombie Chows, Loot Hoarders, Azure Drakes and Gnomish Inventors so that you can control the board while drawing. Have you found you've been able to live until the end of matches if you don't get Malygos until the last 5 cards?
hmm i never thought of using zombie chows, i think it might be a great idea! i will try chows later when i play. The early game has been okay! as long as i draw into my removals hehehe. There are plenty of games where i drew my entire deck.
Okay good to know. I might have to try those extra spells instead of minions.
Im not sure about legend but i have faced this deck at rank 6 before and that was before BRM was released now with emperor taurrisan this deck is so much better!you can make all your combo cards cost 1 less and deal even more damage.
I'm confused - why run Coldlight Oracle (who'se value is only in the battlecry) with Ancestor's Call, with such a low minion deck? seems like they'd go to waste a lot.
The cold light oracle is for card draw. you need to draw malygos and play ancestors call when malygos is the only minion in your hand and spam all your damage spells to his face for an OTK
do i mulligan like freeze mage only for card draw?
You could when facing a class such as warrior which are usually control. Even the grim patron variants tend to be rather slow so keeping some card draw is good. gnomish inventor could be swapped out for cold light oracle if you prefer. keep malygos in your hand as well so your wont have to draw into him as he is a key card to OTKing your opponent.
is it ok against aggro?
yes it is okay against aggro. The most popular aggro deck currently is hunter and they run a lot of 1 hp minions which can be removed with a lot of your spells. lightning storm clears their entire board. just mulligan out for things like earth shock, vitality totem and feral spirit for your opening hand against aggro
