Mage Mass Explosion
I didn`t have time to play this deck, I`m testing some other Malygos decks since many of you crafted it = ))).
The hole combo is based on "Emperor Thaurissan" to reduce the cost of any 2 out of 5 cards from (Malygos, x2 Arcane Explosion, x2 Sorcerer`s Apprentice)
You don`t need to kill the board, you just need to control it to take as few damage as possible in early, and in late just to blizzard and freez it, until you drop your cards.
You can waste some Frostbolts or Arcane Missiles for early control.
2 blizzards are great.
To make this deck legal for standard I think you can replace Antique Healbot withCult Apothecary because your opponent usually has a lot of minions on board. As for Mad Scientist maybe Jeweled Scarab . Other then that I don't see too many cards from WotOG fitting into this deck or even if this deck will even be as successful because I think there will be an increase in Warriors but also an increase in other slower decks.
Edit: Maybe Shatter could work.
I don't know if it is worth to run 1 Arcane Blast instead of 1 Arcane Explosion ?
2 ice lance ?
Another Antique Healbot and aBlizzard seem like good replacements to me.
Deck's burst is in the form of malygos + low cost spells.
Very nice deck and fun 2 play with, execpt when the opponent throws out an jaraxxus at 2hp :(
btw i won that game. Draw an arcane intellect and draws arcane missiles and frostbolt. ;) ;)
If i dont have Thalnos what can i use as switch?
I didn't mean Emperor but Bloodmage Thalnos. Now im running second blizzard
Loot Hoarder is fine too.
Looks awesome, trying to finish deck, but some cards are missing.
This is basically an Exodia deck if you are familiar with the Yu Gi Oh card game. since it functions as it.
you need to have the following to gain instant win
To give you a better idea on how to play it you basically try your best to survive until round 9. While having 2 [card]Sorcerer's Apprentice[/card] and Malygos, drop down [card]Emperor Thaurissan[/card] and control the board with anything else.
Round 10 is the ultimate finisher. Drop down Malygos and 2 [card]Sorcerer's Apprentice[/card] and play the following cards: [card]Arcane Explosion[/card] > [card]Arcane Missiles[/card] > [card]Arcane Missiles[/card] > [card]Dragon's Breath[/card] face > [card]Dragon's Breath[/card] face. and you win with even clearing the board fully
If you are facing zoo or face hunter, Mulligen for board control cards. you can afford to lose 1 [card]Arcane Explosion[/card] and 2 Frostbolts and those other removals not mentioned in the combo.
If you are facing a control deck, try mulligen for as many card draws as possible, then by all means try to get the combo as fast as possible or else you lose "aka 30 armor warriors".
I don't always play gimmick decks, but when I do, I play this one. It hits about 30% of the time, but when it does, look out. The results are about as explosive as Hearthstone can get! It's so satisfying to be able to clear a board of 9hp mobs and be able to do 40+ to the face in one turn. You will get so many new "friends" with this deck!
Best advice I've seen on here is to focus on cycle, cycle, cycle early-mid. Mad scientists are really nice to see early. A big board is going to happen, don't worry about it. The combo will come, or it will not. Just keep trying to cycle into it.
This is a fantastic Deck. I tried it (in Legend, not lower rank), and against aggro it is good as long as you get your cycle card. I only lost 2 times, and that was because I drew all my secret in my starting hand, and never find my cycle card other than scientist.
To those who are saying the deck is bad, that is because this deck took a very different approach than normal mage. This deck is similar to freeze mage, but without the doomsayer.
Against paladin, priest, shaman, midrange hunter this deck wrecks. Even zoo can be handled with well timed frost nova. The mistakes some people make is to play it like control deck, clearing board all the times. That is a very grave mistake, since this deck relies on enemy board being full. to activate arcane explosion + dragon breath.
Against paladin, hunter, shaman, and zoo, let them fill the board with token, so they cannot drop their big guys. as long as you have ice block up, you can always survive it.
Thumbs up for the creator. Very fun deck, and competent (of course not good for laddering because slow as hell, and auto-lose against Freeze Mage and Warrior).
yeahhh lost 5/5 games with this deck, even against priest. Highly depends on drawing the right cards for the Emperor Thaurissan combo. Pretty fun if it would work I guess
How to make this deck infinitely more useful: Swap the ever-so-useless Dragon's Breaths for Flamewakers.
It might be an integral part of the "combo", but DB is very crap outside of hoping you get to Arcane Explosion an entire board.
Since this deck has a lot of spells which can i swap for Flamewakers?
This deck looks like fun, but the video the creator supplied was all at level 12 and 13, I am guessing this is a spectacular failure when Malygos is not drawn and sometimes a spectacular success if he is drawn. Ultimately you will lose rank if you were in the top 12 levels.
It seemed fun. I faced it once and lost to it. I knew some RNG would be involved but not THAT bad. I'm 0-8 in unranked against bad opponents with this deck right now. I tried to tweak it to make it less bad but it's absolute garbage. First game, the warrior got 2 armor smiths on the board, filled it with grim patrons. He boosted his armor and when I AOEed it all, he had over 30 armor. The arcane missile and dragon's breath only took about half of his armor away. Next turn he just hit Malygos with an axe and executed him, gg.
Second game, dragon paladin. I tried to buy time, once again, didn't have lethal with Malygos, next turn he killed it with Rend Blackhand, gg.
3rd game, I never drew the cards needed and I had 9 cards left in my deck vs a board filled with strong minions from a druid, gg. 4th game, it took too long to draw them again, by the time I could finally pull off the combo, I had something like 5 cards left, I went through my 2 ice blocks, frost novas and blizzard. I only had 1 arcane missile card and hadn't drawn either of my arcane explosion cards all game. The board was filled with high health minions vs priest, gg.
Still seems fun but I doubt I can expect more than 10% win ratio with this deck. Hopefully Malygos will be useful and more reliable in warlock or rogue decks. I'll have to see.
Some suggestions to the OP. Been playing the deck a good bit so I hope I can help. Swapped out the acolytes for coldlight oracles. I think this change makes the card drawing more consistent. The faster you can get Thaurissan and Malygos in your hand the faster you can combo so the more consistent oracles are better imo. Also, I added in two flamewakers. I think these bad boys let you pull out some lethal hands even without malygos. Also swapped out the novice engineers for loot hoarders so I can trade a bit better. The last change I made was a swapping of cone of cold for a second blizzard because I think its just better. I hope these suggestions help!
