i cant stop play this cards ! its so fun to play 

Been playing this deck in casual today- 4 straight games opponent conceded before I hit lethal. A lot of fun to play! ;)

Updated win percentage (Casual, because scared to drop rank): 

Tempo Priest: 5/5 100% (100% concedes after gaining card, board, and life advantage, all pre-lethal) 

Post-nerf hunter: 1/6 18% (2 damage guaranteed a turn is too much. Often found myself at even number of <10 health before turn 9, can't beat that clock) 

Tempo Rogue: 0/1 0% (couldn't keep up)

Secrets (tempo) Mage: 0/1 (90% direct damage, got hit "once" by a Leper Gnome)

After initial 4 game winning streak, lost 8 times in a row before winning against Tempo Priest, again. 

Priest matchup is probably favorable due to inability to deal significant amounts of damage before late game. Minions are pretty easy to remove and trade, and not as numerous. A lot of priests made the mistake of sacrificing tempo to Thoughtsteal, which just gave me more room to prepare (literally), remove or establish board control. 

Ever since I unpacked Malygos I've been looking for a reason to use him (+5 spellpower just so damn appealing!) but I don't think I'll take this deck to ranked until next season.

Any ideas for improving matchups with aggressive damage decks? I thought about swapping in ERF, +1 FoK, Sludge Belchers (though I agree that it's too late by turn 5, and you'd likely rather Gadgetzan + Prep + Conceal). Deck already has a lot of removal, but you often to proc combo to get value or wait for a spellpower drop. 

This is a deck use mainly for heavy control meta, it just about destroys every single control deck out there except handlocks. When you see too many aggros apart from zoo, ur best bet is to swap decks actually. But if you really want to play this deck in an aggro heavy meta, i suggest adding doom sayers.

There seems to be a lot more control in ladder. Casual is every one trying out their modified zoo / hunter / undertaker [insert hero] decks. I just played 6 games on Ladder with Freeze Mage and only lost one game to an aggro mage deck - everything else was control. I really like the doomsayer + nova in Freeze Mage, but every deck up there that beat Malygod has constant access to removal by the time you need a doomsayer. 

Anyone interested in playtesting Malygod against control decks? :) 

What would you consider the priority card, Edwin or Thalnos?

If you only have the dust to craft 1. Then I would say its thalnos. 

So I tried this deck, and I'm getting absolutely slaughtered by everything. This is probably because I don't know how to play this deck. I never played rogue in constructed so I don't know a few things.

-How do you mulligan for this deck? Do you mulligan hard just to get an auctioneer? Or do I try to get some early game units like the taz-dingo in there as well? What do I keep and what do I toss?

-Before you put the auctioneer down, do you use eviscerate and backstab freely to deal with threats ?

-The turn I put the auctioneer down, I guess I should hope that I have conceal (should I mulligan for that too?). So at 6 mana I play auctioneer + conceal.  Am I right that I should not play any more cards that turn, even if I have preparation ? Should I do the big cycle thing on a fresh turn ?

If someone has a youtube video of how to play this deck that would be amazing :-)

This deck is slightly more complicated than the pre nerf standard miracle.

-You should keep 5 drops for slower greedy decks like control warrior, priests, control pallies.

Against aggro like zoo, mull for backstab, SI:7, fan,prep and poison (only keep thalnos if you have bladeflurry or fan of knives, same for bladeflurry only keep it if you have poison). Don't be afraid to spend prep without auctioneer in this match up staying alive is more important. 

Against hunters this match up is so rediculasly unfavored for you. You only chance of winning is hard mull for vancleef and make a huge cleef early and he hope doesnt have freezing trap, if you managed to do that mad scientist is worth a sap to deny freezing. (reason is this deck cuts farseer and assassin's blade, and your kill condition is turn 9+)

-Yes use them to deal with threats, you want to prioritize on resetting the board to delay till you can maly and conceal. If you do get into a situation where you have to spend a lot of removals to clear board before auctioneer then you should try to build a board yourself while your doing so by playing your own minions and prioritize playing other minions over auctioneer if you have no spells left in hand. But always try to save 1 evis for maly if you can, and your sinister strikes. (cept for hunters, you just gotta race him.)

-The turn you slam auctioneer down you can play him without conceal in hand, as long as you get decent value out of him often 2+ card draws unless it is a priest then you can slam him on an empty board and let him deal with it. Their only method of dealing with it from hand is a huge wild pyro turn, soulpriest circle combo and holy fire. If you can only cycle 1 card it is often better to just play the drake instead.

Thanks Genetix, I'll try your suggestions after the weekend when I'm back at home. Right now I'm having trouble finding out what to do when cycling. Should I basically cycle as many cards as possible, popping preparations and using all low mana cost cards just to cycle, or should I keep some 'key cards' behind when cycling. Like, should I keep a preparation, eviscerate + 2 sinister strike together with my malygos so I can all drop them on the same turn for massive damage?

EDIT: also, when my opponent drops huge minions (handlock for instance) I don't really know what to do against them. I'm used to playing tempo / control, and I feel like I don't have the board presence to deal with huge threats.

Evis is expendable when situations demand to be used as a removal. In most match ups its ok to cycle 1 sinister strike, and evis to clear board as long as its not sent to the face unless it setup for lethal in the following turn. When you cycle cards and his board is already destroyed, you have to think whether cycling can improve your hand quality, or are you cycling to reach your kill condition to get malygos. Once you have destroyed his board, its ok to just fan of knives and shiv face depend on how much mana you have left to cycle to try draw malygos. With this deck you really have to plan 2-3 turns ahead to try setup for a clean turn to play malygos conceal.

Against handlocks its ok to spend cards early to deal with their giants. As for drakes they only have 4 power, so it isn't very scary as long as they dont faceless it. Dealing damage to his face isnt really important since he would be tapping a lot you should prioritize on clearing his board as much as possible. Do save the sinister strikes at all cost. Often even if you don't deal much damage to the handlock often by turn 9 his already 1/2 killed himself by hellfire and tapping. He shouldn't really have more than 20 hp. Which you can easily kill by using malygos + sinister strikes, preps and evis.

If you are falling behind on board around turn 8 to turn 9 it isn't as bad as you think. Like him slamming down 2 moltens and taunts up, as long as you prepare well on previous turns it is ok. Like having a poisoned weapon on turn 8 so on the next turn you can maly prep flurry to clear board. The more you play the more you notice these things. If you can conceal the malygod after clearing its even better, but sometimes thats hard to achieve, so try to bait out at least 1 syphon soul before malygos.

If you lose malygos to siphon the game isn't over, because is he also crippled after losing both giants like that, most likely you will have enough damage to finish the game.

This matchup isn't as favored to handlocks as the traditional miracle since you can clear his board really easily late game. With 6 damage+ AOEs. Btw Most efficient way to deal with giant early is probably a thalnos + backstab + evis.

Thanks Genetix, I'll try it out in a few days when in home! With these suggestions I won't be as clueless anymore. Your help is appreciated! In case there are still some questions I can't resolve myself I may post again if you don't mind.

Great deck, So much fun to play. I almost hit legend with this deck, I'm still learning each deck, but it's a solid deck, i swapped one sinister strike for one head-crack. and gnomish engineer for earthen ring farseer. I enjoy having +3 for healing, and an easy 3 drop. head-crack is really nice after malygos conceal. easyily combo'd with sinister strike.

Thanks, hit legend with this deck. With a 1 or 2 slight changes depend on meta, was 80% win rate from rank 3 to legend.

Gave this deck another shot after the Leeroy nerf.  It's just not good.  With this deck you want to hold the same cards for both Auctioneer and Malygos.  If you use them early Maly is a dead card and you don't have a finisher.  Save them for Maly and you can't use them with Auctioneer so you lose the card draw.  With the low amount of minions you are just dead by then.

I love this deck:)

I did make one change to it though

I added one Faceless in place of Edward just because I don't have him but the faceless works very well in the deck

Would violet teacher be better than shieldmaster.?

What if you replace se'jien shieldmaster with violet teacher, would that be any good ?

Double conceal is used differently with Malygos Rogue than old Miracle. Conceal now has two purposes: Gadgetzan and Malygos. The idea is to be able to conceal both.
