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:
No chance vs aggro decks if you don't draw zombie Chow in the first 2 turns or hellfire until the 4th turn.
Especially if a mech mage or Huntard gets their perfect mulligan you can R.I.P.
I love the deck but no chance vs aggro decks most of the time which are 4/5 decks you face atm. Sad. :/
Maybe you can do well if you draw perfectly every game but i don't most of the time. ^_^
I'm fully aware of the changes you made because you just trounced me. Nefarian drew the spells that wrecked me. I'm not the polymorph guy. I'm the guy you killed with an echo of medivh and a fireball. Arrrggghhh!
What would you replace blackwing corrupter with?
This will get down voted, and that's ok. I will get the customary "you just don't know how to play it".
I get this deck. I have it EXACTLY as it is. I know which cards people sub in/out.
I lost from Rank 10 all the way back to 18 without a single win. Face Hunter, Midrange Hunter, Demon lock, Zoo Lock, Patron Warrior dares you to play, Ctrl Warrior, Ramp Druid.
Saw them all.
I had a buddy watch me and he was laughing with me (I was laughing, i'm not mad at all). The *FIRST* three games, I went to fatigue and lost. Malygos was one of the last 3 cards. My buddy would message me: "you'll be fine as long as he doesn't play a...." and my opponent would play 'x'. "you'll be fine if you draw ONE of your 'x' or even your 'y' cards" --- Nope. I know people have won with this.
My point is, (PSA incoming):
If you think you can see a deck on here. Construct it. And automatically get Legend with it. You will be VERY disappointed. Do *NOT* use 1600 dust to craft Malygos. Do *NOT* spend 400 dust to craft a second BGH. Do *NOT* use this deck Ranks 10>20.
he is just salty ;) that's why he has to tell us that he was actually laughing.
How did you lose to patron? Unless they one turn combo you there's almost no way to lose if you have any kind of aoe in hand.
The only enabler on your side of the board is the small 1-2 mana minions, I doubt they'd last until patron combo
Just stay out of range, play board presence and wait for your combo, I got double brawled once and I still won
You probably didn't tap enough
Also, the only ones that are legitimately hard to win is face hunter, they have too much pressure too early on, warrior cntrl if they have too much amour and maybe ramp? Haven't played with too many to remember
I am currently at rank 5 and I started playing this deck at rank 13. Pretty decent so far.
Why no Bloodmage Thalnos?
Second soul fire is I think completely necessary, most of the time if you deal any damage at all you only need 1 soul fire and darkbomb to win
I just opened Malygos yesterday and immediately jumped on to this idea of Maly-lock, and so far it's been great
I just had a few problems: one, I haven't completed BRM, so I don't have Corruptors. Are they necessary? I rarely have a dragon in hand before Malygos so I don't know.
Second, I don't have a BGH. I replaced one with Siphon Soul, but howabout the second? I currently run Dr. Boom and Sylvanas in my missing cards, but idk if they're good.
Thoughts? +1 on this great deck!
ive beaten quite a few handlocks with this tbh xD
I played 7 games and still didnt' use Malygos, it's realy that usefull? it's very expensive 9 and I need to use the darkbomb and soulfire to clear board, I can't win vs aggro also
Yeah, it's the heart and soul of the deck.
Mulligan heavy, use board control and high value trades to maintain tempo without needing your DBs or Soulfire.
Then around turn 10, drop Malygos and ggwp. Oh yeah, Life Tap moar.
I'm not saying never use DB, I'm just saying most of the time you have a better play.
With Thaurissan, turn 9 17 dmg burst out of no where is a thing
you know i just dont believe you, the only this deck does is loosing
I think Alex doesn't fit in this type of deck. One of the aspects of this one is to run no BGH target to keep the tempo and board control through the game until you can burst the opponent down with a 16-25 dmg combo with Malygos.
reading lots of players on here in the comments who are struggling with the deck. Malygos lock isn't all about the combo. Its a great way to finish games, but isn't always reliant on it. Certain match ups you need to control board as quick as possible especially against aggro. Using the dark bombs and soul fire early game are ok. The difference with this and hand lock are a little different. This variant doesn't drop 4/5 and 8/8 taunts all game, instead it uses minions in the mid game to trade and hit for face once board is set and opponent cant keep up. Don't be afraid to use coin turn 3 for a twilight drake. Just remember this isn't hand lock and i think thats the problem lots of players fail to see when playing malygos lock.
Take your time to learn the deck because its becoming a force on the tournament and ladder scene. I expect the deck to be even more popular after dream hack as lots of players have passed on hand lock variant for malygos now
sick sample size bro. If you won all 8 games would you believe the deck had a 100% win rate?
Great deck! Only thing I seem to struggle with is Mech Mage & Shaman if I don't get Hellfire in my opening hand (which happens too often). Any advice on dealing with extreme aggro decks like these? I thought about giving up 1x Abusive Sergeant for 1x Defender of Argus, but Abusive Sergeant has so many hidden advantages I have a hard time letting it go. (Example: Druid plays 5/10 with taunt. Abusive Sergeant + BGH = Done)
Also, when it comes down to pure value, Siphon Soul or Kezan Mystic as a replacement for 1x BGH? Siphon Soul can destroy any minion, but it uses so much mana it's hard to play another minion in the same turn. Kezan Mystic can drastically swing the odds in your favor vs Mage and Hunter, but it's not as useful vs the other 7 classes. Thoughts?
With all the removal that's already in the deck and the high cost of Siphon Soul, it's really not a great pick. I subbed in another Earthen Ring Farseer for the 2nd Big Game Hunter for a bit of extra healing against aggro decks. Works nicely.
