Hello! 

Here we go again!

I took this deck to legend on day 1 in the november season. It is similar to a deck I posted earlier (buff maly druid), but since the nerfs targeted Giggling, I had to make som changes. 

The deck feels smooth and very, very strong. After many games I have come to an realization that the deck primarly win condition is to build a big board. The maly combo is a secundary win condition, which you opponent won't expect since you are playing cards that are usually seen in a token druid. 

I had some recording issues, but I will try to get out a gameplay video!

Enjoy :)

Strategy guide

Since the mulligan is mainly based on the strategy, i choose to describe the game strategy first. 

This deck is a lot harder to handle than the regular malygos deck, it is not as linear as the standard list. So first of all you will need some practice before managing this deck close to optimally.

Basicly you want to push a lot of damage with your minions. Most of the time you just win the board by making a huge board of buffed taunts. However, sometimes the malygos burst damage is needed to finish of your opponents. 

Against aggro you really don't have to be greedy with your malygos otk combo pieces. You often will have to use swipe as removal to stabilize and get some plague value or combine strongshell and Chain gangs. Basicly it is all about claiming the board to avoid your opponent to rush you down. 

Against control decks it is general all about trying to push minion damage to face. If that meens that you have to use swipe and moonfire for removal, so be it. The only clear execption is when facing baku warrior, then you usually want to get the full malygos combo in face. But you need to read the game situation as it develops. Against shudderwock Shaman, you will usually win by just playing for the malygos otk combo. So in that particular match up malygos OTK is you primary win condition. 

One of the decks strongest combination, if not the strongest, is plague + strongshell and possibly some tyrants as well. This give you the possibility to swing the board in your favour. Also plague + MCT + strongshell is a huge swing turn. 

To sum it up: Don't be to greedy regarding the malygos otk. Play it out like a tempo deck and try to snowball by buffing the board and sticking minions on board to push face damage. 

Mulligan guide

Usually you want to look for ramp. But against aggro and hunters, I think MCT is OK to keep in hand. Against odd paladin you really need to look for is swipes and plagues. 

Against control decks, usually keeping ramp cards is good. However, it's not possible to give a universal guide regarding which card to keep. Try to look for synergies and ramp cards, then you should do fine :) 

Flexible spots

Many like to play Twig in Druid decks. In this deck, Twig is for sure a reasonable card to add. If you like to add twig, it can be changed for Power of the wild :)
