Why double Big Game Hunter
1) You want to save your Darkbomb and Soulfire for burst in control match up. They aren't very efficient against a Dr. Boom anyway.
2) Unlike Handlock, you don't have giants to trade your opponents' big threats.
3) At the very least, you can play BGH for tempo.

I've always had a question about this deck. Why are there 2 Zombie Chow and only 1 Abusive Sergeant? Brann and 2x Big Game Hunter seems to synergize so well that I feel like swapping out a chow for a sergeant. Especially with such a druid-heavy meta, you can deal with Dr. Boom and an Ancient of Lore, which seems important.
It's also useful on Loatheb turns where you're locked out of your removal.
This deck is awesome. Iys probably the best Malygos deck I've ever tried. From rank 5 to 3 so far: 11-1
I would say Drake is necessary for this deck to work. You can try swapping the other cards tho.
I no longer play this deck on ladder due to the meta shifting to a more tempo style.
Tried this deck countless times and get completely owned by aggro decks which at the minute seems to be all I'm up against :(
Awesome deck!
What's the point in malygos with just one soulfire and 2 dark bomb? I feel like it's kinda missing some damage.
Why are you asking questions when you clearly did watch the video guide? The point of malygos is to combo with double dark bomb and soulfire after you thaurissan them for a 25 damage to the face combo, or just dark bomb soulfire and maly for 17 damage.
Since I dont own the second BGH, I put in a Sludge Belcher but having brann I wonder if I should add 1x Defender of Argus instead...
thoughts?
edit: changed it for Loatheb since I am facing a bunch of druids and its a good tempo card.
it also synergizes with abusive sergeant
Is there any place for Alexstrasza? It could be good enough before the Malygos+spell combo. For -1x Mortal Coil maybe?
Unfortunately, it dies to Big Game Hunter. I'd suggest taking out Brann Bronzebeard or Big Game Hunter. Mortal Coil is very good card by itself and combos very nice with Malygos.
Of course it's gonna die but the hero hp reduce is too amazing by itself. :D
IM trying to understand this deck but its a bit difficult for me. I keep running out of cards. Should i be going face or looking to have board control?
Thank you
What is good sub for second BGH while I'm working on it? Dr. Boom maybe?
There's a lot of flexible choice. But in case you're subbing for the same function, Siphon soul can be a good choice.
what shud i aim for in dark peddler? against control,tempo etc? when shud i stop life tapping at what point?
For discover choice in Dark Peddler, there're too many cases to explain here but here's a few key points:
1) Mortal coil is very good against aggro
2) Soulfire is not bad in case you need to catch up the tempo
3) Power Overwhelming is also good, especially when you have tokens on the board.
For further cases, you can watch my stream where I would normally explain all my plays.
About life tapping, you can stop doing it when you:
1) Getting too low in health.
2) Doesn't need anymore cards to finish the game.
Again, these are concepts and you still need a lot of experience to make a precise judgement.
why only 1 soulfire btw
Any replacement for a 2nd Twilight Guardian ?
