I know that 57% win-rate is not great. However, alot of these games I played early on in the expansion: where there was mostly aggro. As ROS has progressed, I've noticed that the meta has slowed down quite a bit, and I've started playing this list again with great success (played @ rank 4-3).
I believe that this version of the deck has the most possible lethal combinations Malygos druid has ever had. Jepetto Joybuzz let's you do some pretty crazy combos. When you don't Jepetto Joybuzz your Malygos you can still pretty easily lower it to 2 mana with Dreampetal Florist (a florist that's often 1 mana/ 4 mana from Flobbidinous Floop).
Let's consider the worst can scenario where you whiff on Jepetto Joybuzz and draw a 1-cost Flobbidinous Floop and Faceless Manipulator. What you can do is use Faceless Manipulator your Jepetto Joybuzz, which let's you play a 4 mana Jepetto on the next turn.
I based this deck off of an early theory-craft that had +2 Crystalsong Portal and -2 Dreamway Guardians. After running portals for a while I decided that they don't belong in the deck. The minions from portal are often anti-synergistic with Dreampetal Florist and they just clog up the hand. Dreamway Guardians is a nice, cheap spell that can be played alongside ramp. Very often, your opponent will think you're token druid and will quickly remove your guardians. Any time your opponent is removing boards instead of killing you is time that you can develop your combo.
Good luck and have fun!
Thanks man.. like the potential.. tried an own version but haven't thought to use Psychmelon in that way. Interesting.
What do you think about exchanging one Nourish for a Spellbreaker?
Spellbreaker is a reasonable tech. Always will be good against Edwin, very good if you're facing alot of egg paladin/hunter. I would probably cut a Dreamway Guardians or a Starfire over Nourish though. Dreamway guardians is probably the first card to go when a better, defensive druid spell comes out.
Why/when do you need to use Juicy Psychmelon?
Been watching dog play Maly Druid and trying to learn how to pilot it. He ran Witchwood Grizzly x 2 and Witching Hour FWIW

Keen to try both these lists.
Juicy Psychmelon really helps you decide which set of combo setups you want to go for. Juicy will likely always draw you Dreampetal Florist and Jepetto Joybuzz... and then a 50/50 for Malygos or Alexstrasza. So if you don't get your 1 mana Maly, you have to go down some kind of Floop/Florist route to OTK. I think the over-arching themes of this list and Dog's list are quite different. Dog wants to spend mid-game turns competing for board with Grizzly's: sacrificing combo speed and consistency with board stability, while my deck guns it for the OTK.
Interesting deck, why no Archmage Vargoth?
I've tried subbing it in for a Starfire/Dreamway Guardians. It's decent with an OTK combo if you use only Swipe, but I felt like Vargoth wasn't used to his full potential in this list.
