When it comes to Combo Decks I always loved playing Malygos in Warlock as he is definitely unexpected and your opponents usually don´t play around 16/25/34 dmg burst out of nowhere. How do we exactly deal that much damage? with two copies of Soulfire and Dark Bomb. We can go for all 4 combo pieces but tit is usually good enough to go for just two of them as we can deal enough damage over time with our demons. Emperor Thaurissan can reduce all of our 5 Exodia pieces to a total of 10 mana which makes it possible to bring them from 30 to 0 within seconds.
If that is not enough than Voidcaller into Voidlord or even Mal'Ganis can stomp aggro completely while being consisten enough to appear in the early game with Sense Demons. Bloodreaver Gul'dan can be considered another win condition as we not only deal 3 dmg a turn but also summon a huge wall of minions.
If everything goes wrong we have Hellfire, Defile, Lord Godfrey & Twisting Nether to ensure that we don´t lose to the board state. In addition to that Lesser Amethyst Spellstone & Zilliax heal us back up and a Dirty Rat to ruin our opponents combos
2x Mortal Coil
Perfect against all those aggressive decks while helping to make a curve for a full clear with Defile at the same time. Definitely replaceable and only living up to its full potential against those 1 mana pirates
1x Dirty Rat
How do we win against Mecha'thun & other Combo decks like OTK Mage or even King Togwaggle Druid? By simply putting in this combo disruption. We could also run Demonic Project but that would mess with our Demons and Malygos too much
It is basically a reset when everything goes wrong. Big Priest can start over again, aggro slows down and we can play a Voidlord in the next turn which makes it a pretty god card on curve
Not only is he helping with clearing the board when using Defile and Hellfire he also draws us a card and allows us to heal for +1 when using Lesser Amethyst Spellstone
1x Barnes
Here is the thing, playing this guy in any deck is a 50/50 as we do have almost auto win targets but also whiffs that make him a Yeti at worst. The good thing though when we hit any of the good cards the match can turn around in an instance. Play him in Cubelock, Even Shaman or any deck at all as he is that powerful
For all the Epic and Legendary cards that might be too expensive to just craft for a single deck even though they are definitely usable in many decks we can substitute them for cheaper, Rare/Common or even Basic cards in the following way
Either with a Tainted Zealot to keep the Spellpower theme going on or a Shadowbolt to remove 3 drops
1x Dirty Rat
Demonic Project and pray for the best as it might hit our Malygos or make our Giaant Demons we hold in our hand a little wimp
1x Barnes
Can be any card of your choice, I would go with Doomsayer even though they have a different purpose. A Coldlight Oracle that can burn your opponents cards out of nowhere might also be a good consideration
1x Zilliax
Healbot or any other form of heal to not just be dead on Turn 5. A Sludge Belcher or Rotten Applebaum would also fit here
Banana Buffoon to coin out additional spells or a Dark Peddler to aim for a third Soulfire
1x Lord Godfrey
Another Doomsayer & hope for the best as he kinda does the same but without a 4/4 body and not instantly
We always want to have a Sense Demons or Voidcaller to cheat our demons to win the early game. Besides that don´t be afraid to keep a Darkbomb and use it early on as we probably don´t need all 4 Spells to OTK the opponent. There is only a minor difference in the mulligan against aggressive or control decks. We always keep Emperor Thaurissan if we know we have the time and don´t die on Turn 4 and a Defile if we should predict our death on Turn 4
If you don´t fully understand any of the card choices, the style in which the games are played out or why we keep certain cards in the opening hand please consider asking your question for any case you might need help with when playing this deck down below or asking me during my streams which can be found with schedule won below. Don´t forget to upvote this guide as a single +1 makes a big difference, thanks!
Nice deck, 7-3 Games from rank 7 to 5 :-)
not a bad deck, but I lost several games by playing my dirty rat, so it will have to go, done more damage than good. I will replace it with tar creeper.
Just asking, do you play the Dirty Rat when your opponent is going to win with his OTK next turn OR just as a normal minion oncurve. Its only in here to win vs. Mechthun & Combo Mage on their very last turn before the combo
I dont just play it as another minion, I do try to strategize when is best to play him. but I have not seen very many combo decks, and he always ends up pulling a huge creature. I dont like drawing a card and not playing it. and I have never had a good opportunity to play this guy. I can see him being good, but he has not been good for me.
True, definitely depended on what you face on the ladder. For me Mages & Mechathun decks show up pretty regularly so I included the Rat. But yeah, replace it to get better Match Ups!
This is pretty much only one he plays. if you ask anything else from him its a BLOCK. he knows nothing of game sadly :/ one deck for all and lol for others xD
I changed my Dirty Rat out for a Baleful Banker. Was getting burned too many times with it. Otherwise, great deck!
Good Choice, lets hope you dont face Mechathun or other OTK Decks
This deck really got my attention and I'm 100% sure I will try it when rotation hits. Very nice creation, Solem!
Thanks :D Good luck with not discarding the second Soulfire
What is the strategy against big priest? Been struggling lately.
Against Big Priest you gotta stall until you can get your otk ready. Double Psychic Scream ruins our deck when we get 6x 1 drops shuffled in there. I usually go for 2x Darkbomb and 1x Soulfire for the Otk and deal the remaining 5 dmg before. If you get unlucky they have Barnes on 4 or even infinite Ragnaros´s to resurrect :/
nice, yesterday in the tavern brawl i did a malygos otk with glinda and soulfire. i won 5 before a otk mage got ahead of me. i did the math wrong and got her to 1. she got me on follow up turn. Keep the warlock decks coming dude. I do the same quiet often by trying to create new stuff . Keeps the GAME fun.
Awesome and yeah the game gotta be fun :)
This deck is absolutely insane! Being able to 1 shot unsuspecting opponents is fantastic and of course totally worth :D
I made a video showcasing the deck in action, I really hope you all enjoy it!
Great video mate!
THIS GUY IS HILARIIOUUS TOTALLY LUCKY EVERY GAME HE POST... I LOST 3 GAMES IN A ROW T4
WITH ALL THOSE GARBAGE UNSKILLED AGGRO PLAYER
DO YOU FEEL A GOOD PLAYER REALLY
Maybe you need to practice a bit more lol, I went from rank 5 to rank 3 with this deck, almost no losses
Awesome deck!!! Thank you for the cool idea))
Thanks :D
