"I am the essence of magic!"
Introduction
Hello! I'm James1, a 13 times EU legend player, legend proof in spoiler and across my other decks . This deck is Miracle Malygos Rogue or elegance. Its original conception was before pre-naxx and was created by firebat. The deck has had its ups and down over the years, with various card releases and nerfs. But with the release of Tomb Pillager it's back in full force.
The decks main focus is board control, Gadgetzan Auctioneer draw and a spell power damage finisher. The win condition is typically Malygos, Sinister Strike , Preparation and a number of other damage spells. Before Blackrock Mountain Preparation had to be saved for Malygos combo, however, with the addition of Emperor Thaurissan your spells and malygos can be discounted - allowing for more Uninteractive fun. mage of the list in spoiler below.
League of explores brought Tomb Pillager which finally revived Gadgetzan Auctioneer draw engine. More exciting, Tomb Pillager also allows for consistent coin Emperor Thaurissan play on turn 5. Reducing your and by 1 and creating insane turn 6 Gadgetzan Auctioneer auctioneer turns. Finally you can also save tomb coins for addition mana for Malygos OTK.
Sinister Strike this is definitely a good card for the deck. At the moment i dont recommend cutting it for Conceal. You really want that extra reach with Sinister Strike in control match ups
Play guide
Generally I encourage people watch pro players piloting the deck. Superjj102 and CosplayGrill are to very good players of Malygos Miracle. Click their names for the twitch link and check their VODs.
Its is important to use removal to maintain board control in aggro/ midrange matches, while saving as many damage spells for Malygos in heavy control match ups like Control Warrior and Priest.
Mulligan
Never keep Malygos or Sinister Strike in opening hand. If You have a good hand for the match up its okay to keep cycle cards like Shiv and Fan of Knives.
Vs control decks like warrior and priest you want to keep Tomb Pillager , Gadgetzan Auctioneer and Azure Drake in your opening hand.
Any thoughts or improvement feel free to post.
Why did you pull out Xaril, Poisoned Mind? I liked the idea ahahaha
I'm going 8-0 with this deck now with the release of these old gods cards.
[-1 Azure Drake OR Farseer], +1 Shadow Caster. Shadow Caster IMO belongs in every rogue deck. It's just too friggen' good. Earthen Ring Farseer is sort of a throwaway card anyway.
I like to play Shadow Caster on Gadgetzan for insane card draw, but pop him on Xaril or Edwin, or even Maly if he lives for a sick finish. Be careful not to drop him on Gadgetzan too late in the game, however, or you will mill yourself to death. The one mana stealth from Xaril is really nice for that turn 10 Maly drop when you can't get 'er done til next turn.
I have a BLAST with this deck, especially Xaril, His toxins can be a finisher, draw engine, or board control. A very good solid deck in the current meta.
I played this deck and its pretty good deck for WOTOG.
What are people's opinions on replacing 1 Sinister Strike with a Violet Techer again?
Violet Teacher is a headge against not being able to achieve Malygos as a win condition. If you run Violet Teacher, IMO, you should run also be running Cold Blood. Malygos Miracle just does not have room for both Violet Teacher and Cold Blood. If you want to run Violet Teacher should be slotting it into Yogg Miracle or a miracle without a single, big win condition.
I played the pre-nerf deck quite a bit, can someone test this new version and give his thoughts about it? thanks
This deck will be Tier1 or Tier2.This deck is amazing.Maybe add 1x Blade Flurry out 1 FoK?Cuz we have 0 AoE and we need it.
Sadly, Blade Flurry got nerfed and is pretty unusable now... I like the WotOG replacements, though.
U will see.We need 1x Blade Flurry.Anyway its a good deck.
I've been getting Xaril drops on Journey Below quite frequently.
OMG Thanks!!! I will try these changes as soon as possible! I suppose this deck will be focused more on combos from now on and this is nice ;)
What about Edwin VanCleef in this deck? Should I craft him?
Yes, he works very well in it. I would use him in place of Violet teacher, which IMO serves no real purpose in a malygos deck.
Interesting. What did you take out?
Will try, thanks!
maby too slow
Tomb pillager is the reason why miracle decks are back in action.
Tomb Pillager coins is extremely important to rotate cards with Gadgetzan Auctioneer. I don't think there's a direct replacement for the card, but Cutpurse can give you coins. The downside is that Cutpurse will almost certainly die before you attack with it, giving you no coins and Tomb Pillager has a better body for board control, you can trade with Loatheb, Emperor Thaurissan...
