Hello guys, its FreiKuk again with a new meta-breaking deck - Malygos Warlock. I used this deck to climb the first day of the season and hit legend first in around 20 hours. Shoutout to Neirea and Shtan who helped me with this deck. I'll make a detailed guide a bit later when I get some rest after this crazy climb.
Wanna see me playing this deck? Make sure to follow my twitch channel so you don't miss the next stream - http://www.twitch.tv/freikuk
Proof:
Yeah I figured that much, but this morning I haven't even gotten to use a single BGH yet with this deck. they've both seriously just sat in my hand.. are they there for twilight drake synergy?
Against aggro deck like face hunter it would appear BGH is not helpful but most decks do run Dr Boom and you want BGH on your hand by turn 7. On top of that you can set up 2 cards flamestrike with BGH and shadowflame 7mana.
Just hit legend from rank 5 to #54 legend with it on NA, ty for such awesome and fun deck.
This seemed to be working for me for awhile, but I'm now at 50% with it, after 54 games. I'm using the deck as it's posted above. I've done terrible vs. hunters (4 win & 7 losses) and tempo mages (3 wins & 7 losses). I'm also below 50% with paladins, but I only faced 4 of those. I'm sure it's just me, but it's enough to keep me from laddering above rank 14 with it. There must be something I'm misplaying.
I must be a really bad player but I've gone like 1-3 with the deck. The only change I made was -1 BGH +1Sylvanas because I didn't have 2 BGH.
Won vs. Handlock
Lost vs. Combo Druid
Lost vs. Dragon Pally
Lost vs. Mech Shaman
And against the Handlock I didn't even get a Malygos out, just beat him down. A regular 4damage soulfire for the win.
Play more games then comeback.
1-4 lost to a basic paladin.
1-5 lost to ramp druid. (turn 6 no less)
2-5 won vs. a strange Lock. (seemed focused on void terror. A 4 hit from implosion turned the game along with a well timed hellfire. Never did get Malygos out)
2-6 Lost to a basic rushy Paladin. Got a heck of a good shadowflame off, cleared 7 minions on his side, but, by that time I was down to 5 heath and a truesilver finished me.
2-7 lost to a zoolock. Was pretty close, but, not enough to get by.
3-7 won vs. Priest. Was a strange priest. used lightwells and deathlords to stall. didn't seem to have an end game other than mind control. I had to get two turns out of my malygos to win, luckily for me he couldn't remove him.
I'm not understanding how to survive long enough to get the combo. Maybe it's a mulligan problem. I want the deck to play well for me, but, it's just been hot ass so far. Other than the one Handlock who I can only assume had a terrible draw. Maybe it's the meta. Maybe it's the deck. Probably just me.
What rank are you, and what are you mulliganing for? I've been playing this day around rank 5 for the past 2 days, and i'm having nothing but success (started at rank ~12)
I've found that this deck doesn't have too many bad match ups, but pally and mech shaman tend to be a bit more difficult. Patron warrior is kind of 50/50 for me, it's almost an insta win if I have hellfire in my starting hand though.
As for mulligans, make sure you're going for Darkbomb Zombie Chow Hellfire Blackwing Technician in your starting hand for aggro, and Twilight Drake Blackwing Technician for control decks. It's a pretty safe play to keep an owl or BGH vs. locks, and an owl for hunters.
I was playing rank 12 down to 14. I normally max out around 9 or 10.
I find mulliganing this deck very difficult. and I don't dare use my darkbombs or soulfire on minions. Maybe that's why I'm losing so much. But, that's your win condition, right? You use them on Knife Jugglers and your malygos later is almost worthless.
I found hellfire almost worthless for paladin. I had it in hand but facing a egg, that 1/2 naxx spider, and a shielded minibot it just seemed like a worthless card.
Anyway, maybe I need to see some play videos, especially with mulligan that I am quite sure I'm not doing correctly because I keep trying new things.
In 10 games I used BGH zero times. I often had it sitting dead in my hand waiting for a target. Might be another reason I was losing, not being willing to cast it as a minion.
I could probably take a video of my playing if someone wanted to watch and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Yeah, don't play entirely around the Malygos combo...there are plenty of games where Maly will be dead in my deck. Also, try swapping 1 BGH out for another soulfire if you want.
I also swapped out the blackwing techs for 2 imp gang bosses - mostly because I haven't been seeing patron warriors. I think i'll probably switch back to the techs if that were to change.
4-7 won vs. Patron Warrior. Wasn't that hard to be honest.
5-7 won vs. Tempo Mage. used a Malygos + Soulfire for the kill. Never did draw Mr T. Was a decent challenge, but I had control the entire game. Had a very nice turn 1 zombie, turn 2 Blackwing tech (using coin and dragon in hand, fast start let me Tap repeatedly)
6-7 Won vs. Combo Druid. I don't think he ever drew that Force of Nature. Had to waste a Savage Roar just trying to stay alive. Did my best to keep my life up and his boad clear and eventually won. Got off a Malygos and implosion which was kinda fun.
When is the guide going to be released ?
I actually wachted some of your streams but still i would love to read some stuff :>
what do you think about Bloodmage Thalnos ,can he fit on this deck?
you sub alot of cards out for thalnos if you wanted to, he obviously fits with the theme of the deck but isn't necessarily better than any cards already in the deck.
So I notice there is 2 soulfire in the video but only one in the decklist. Should I go for 2 or 1? If 2 what do I replace it with?
-1 owl +1 soulfire
I'm not really succesfull with this deck but i think if i keep playing it it should be really nice to climb the ladder. What are your thoughts about adding Alexstraza? Should be really good in this deck. I will try it.
Thx for the decklist.
Your rank 1 legend game was vs a guy rank 8? There like 2 ppl on the EU server?
I was only one legend, getting matched up against rank 19 guys sometimes
What, after he BGH's your giants and bursts you down from 17-25 health with Malygos?
This is Rank 1 Legend, not some dude screwing around with malygos.
