Just had a blast with this deck. A little twist w/ Alexstrasza, but why not? (EDIT: the card really isn't a "twist" anymore: everyone's running it.)
Doing pretty well with it so far, 14-3 as of Thursday morning.
Why it works: You have 6 board clears, all of them very effective and very cheap. Unlike normal Miracle rogue, it's easy to deal with early threats, and it's also super easy to cycle with your 1-mana Auctioneer. And, because few people are playing heals or other truly defensive mechanics, you can rather easily burst in for lethal much earlier than the traditional style.
I wish that there were a set-in-stone mulligan guide and and a little gameplan help for newer players to this sort of deck, but how you play the deck is often dictated by your starting hand and what's available, to a degree much higher than normal. Should you hit on Malygos early on, you'll be looking for your damage spells. If you start with an auctioneer, you may want to look for a Shadowstep, or some other small, recyclable spell. Should you get Alexstrasza, you CAN use her turn 1 to face, BUT I find that it's better saved for when you can deal 15 damage that turn or very soon, as Antique Healbot is becoming a more common inclusion. There are other ways to win with this deck, notably shadowstepping Boom and going face with Alexstrasza, but those are much more rare.
Other cards to consider:
Baron Geddon: Another board wipe, and in some situations, a lethal push. Not included in the normal deckist due to an aggro meta and the high probability that life total will matter.
Antique Healbot: Currently, many players are running Alex, as mentioned above, and often use it on your face T1. This is a pretty good counter, as with enough health, you can often use hero power to take control of the game. If the aggro state of the union dies down a bit, then one could replace this out with Baron, but I doubt it will.
Onyxia: Fills the board with 1/1's. Not included in the decklist primarily because we really don't care to much about board control, and by filling the board, we can't play down minions after her on the same turn. Also, she's very susceptible to board clears that would normally be dead cards in the opponent's hand.
Edwin VanCleef: He actually works very well with the deck as a whole, and is in the same pool as Malygos. If you want to add him in, you probably ought to change around a few more cards, especially the bigger spells, to suit him better. Keep in mind: I tried this variant out, 50% of the time he worked well, 50% of the time he got countered.
Malygos: A great card for any spell-heavy deck in this format, although by adding him in, you do have to cut either one of the spells he works with, or one of the vital minions. Still, a good idea. However, should you go along this route, I would cut 1x Assassin's Blade and 1x Oil for 1x Blade Flurry and some other direct damage of choice.
EDIT: Replaced Southsea Deckhand with Argent Commander for, well, obvious reasons.
EDIT #2: Replaced 1x Argent Commander with Assassin's Blade. Maybe it's just me, but so, so often, there isn't enough pressure, taunts, or freezing to prevent me from building up a huge weapon and going face with that, and I'm finding that that's how I win a LOT of my games.
EDIT #3: Added in an Antique Healbot due to high number of aggro matchups.
EDIT #4: Added in Malygos over Conceal. With such a high number of anti-stealth board clears, stealthed minions are NOT doing as well as they were at the brawl's start. The only reason I hesitated on this is because whenever you add in another minion over a cheap spell, you reduce Gadgetzan's ability to cycle cards through. If you don't have the card, which I expect to hear about a LOT, the best replacement would be Edwin VanCleef or another cheap spell, probably Shadowstep #2.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE: As I created this deck, I tried to balance out card cost (in dust), effectiveness, and the fun factor. Some compromises had to be made. I hate to throw into the deck list a card as rare as Malygos, but, sadly, the power level of the decks you face has grown exponentially since the start of the Brawl.
In addition, there have been a LOT of questions asking "Does this still work? I'm getting crushed by X." Or "I love the deck, and I beat the crap out of Y, but I can't just seem to win against Z, how do I do that?" The answer, sadly, is to throw in more OP legendaries. Ragnaros comes to mind, and so does Faceless Manipulator. I have looked for other solutions to this, because I think that this change would only increase the Pay-To-Win-ness of the Tavern Brawl, but most players still playing the brawl are MUCH better equipped to kill you OTK MUCH more quickly than at the brawl's start. I will tell you out of the gate: most of the decks you play against, if not all, are not as fun as this one. It's essentially, "If I draw X, Y, and Z, and either A or B, I win immediately." While that seems cool to start with, there's little skill involved (comparatively to this deck) and, believe me, I've tried it: it gets boring.
i traded out the weapon buffs for faceless and rags makes for fun combo with better win rates 3 malygod with sinister strike 18 damage or even 3 rag
This deck was so easy rekt cause full board controll with over 90000 heals just wins 90% of time in this TB
If ya wanna win quite quick you can try my deck it doesnt require the legendary's since mostly i just dont have malygos and all those other cards
It's ranked so high because...
1. It's fun to play, or at least more so than most Malygos OTK decks on the market.
2. It's not THAT expensive.
3. It's an unique adaptation of a deck normally not seen in Constructed.
4. Against the kinds of decks you saw early on in the season, it had a very high winrate.
Personally, if you're going gold farming, then I suggest you switch out your weapon buffs fore more OP legendaries, as suggested above, and go on your way. But, as I mentioned in my OP, that was not my goal.
Argent Horserider is the same as Argent Commander xD
I've seen this problem on a few decks. People don't seem to realize these are made for this weeks tavern brawl, not for ranked lol.
Yes, this is a tavern brawl deck. However it gets destroyed by Druid OTK Malygos. I had more success with Malygos Druid than win anything else.
This is a Tavern Brawl deck modeled off an old-fashioned constructed deck, with some changes made.
In that case it should be written in CAPS at the begginning of your description : THIS DECK IS A FUN DECK, THIS IS NOT FOR FARMING GOLD OR WINNING. :)
Nice deck, but 0 wins vs secret paladin..
This is a tavern brawl deck m8.
Hahaha played this Deck in constucted on Rank 4... 3/0 already :D
I love this deck. Turn one Alex is so satisfying.
I used Ancient Mage in place of Malygos -- perhaps not the best choice, but the mage won me one game.
Turn one Alexstrasza what are you talking about?
all these tavern brawl decks sucked. i usually come on here for deck lists but for the first time i made my own warrior deck (5-1) and deleted it hoping to find something better but i didnt. going back to my warrior
This deck is very bad vs the current meta of OTK Maly druids.
I'm at 0-5 for the moment. Being raped by druids, and haven't seen my gadgetzan auctioneer for the moment :/
EDIT : being raped by druid OTK Malygos in Tavern Brawl obviously.
0-6.
Top 2k legend btw.
0-8 :/ Raped by druid and warlock. Druid had an auctioneer. I STILL haven't seen my auctioneer.
