On 20 upvotes i will wright a guide.
Update 13.05.2020:
Here i go again with an update guys. Thanks to my man Zatrzymany i slightly changed the list. Our beloved queen Alexstrasza is back in business. Also added Bloodmage Thalnos. This sneaky little bastard serves very well for additional spell damage (won me a couple of games adding missing 2-3 damage) and also at early game he gives you a card draw (which is always very welcome when you want to find your combo pieces).
deck works wonders against those pesky mages and priests (those never ending games with tons of value from your opponent is a joke against Maly), currently Diamond 3 with it, aiming another legend with this list. also adding updated WR. have fun and dont forget to share your vibes with this deck in comments!
Update 14.04.2020:
New meta, but still deck is good. Switched to it and on a win streak against all those DH and spell mage\druid decks. Added Maiev instead of our beloved Zilliax.
Update 30.03.2020: i did some changes to the list and made legend with it today. + added new WR screenshot (total 132 games)
You can see the breakdown of changed cards with a green mark on it within the list. Now this is even more powerful and can easily win against heavy aggro decks.
Hello guys, gm6 here. You can find me on ladder by the name LF7D.
Multiple legend player and Hearthstone lover.
And let me introduce you a powerful deck, which can bring you maximum joy while playing, and at the same time grief and butthurt while not recieving combo pieces :D
1. Winrate.
I played around 60 132 games with it. Ofcourse it is not 500 or 1000 and you can say that this sample size means nothing, but unfortunately i do not have so much time to play test decks like Popular streamers, but i have my stats with this deck and you can approximately make a picture of what it is in terms of competition. These statistics were made on the range of Legend-r5 ranks. Actual WR may be different for the other region or rank.
2. Mulligan.
This is a combo deck, you need to stall the game till turn 10 or more. So at the start of the game try to be in tempo.
With the coin you want to have Pharaoh Cat, Edwin VanCleef, Backstab, EVIL Miscreant.
Without coin you want to have Pharaoh Cat, Backstab, Seal Fate, EVIL Miscreant
3. Gameplan.
There are different ways to win with this deck. First of all it is the main WC with Malygos and triple face spell damage, where you dont care about opponents board:
Malygos + Sinister Strike x2 + Eviscerate = 25 damage.
You can say that this is 13 mana, well, you have 2 tools for getting your cards cheaper:
Galakrond, Azeroth's End, Heistbaron Togwaggle with his Wondrous wound and 2x Umbral Skulker. And ofcourse Preparation.
With fully buffed galakrond you can make lethal combo even on turn 7 if you pull some needed cards because of Alexstrasza in the deck. Now, when Alex gone off the list, you can find her from a dragon lackey. I moved Alex because usuallu it was absolutely dead card till late game.
You should always count lethal with this deck. Especially when in the late game your opponent have less or equal 25 health. Sometimes you can finish the game even without Malygos being played. If you have a board, full of threats and eqiupped with a 5/2 Claw. Do not underestimate Kronx Dragonhoof and his additional 5 face damage or buffing your minions for even more stats, if you have at least 3 of them on board.
4. Rules.
DO NOT play Malygos if you are not closing the game the same turn.
DO NOT play Galakrond, Azeroth's End having more than 7 cards in hand. Galakrond must be seventh card in hand to prevent burning needed combo pieces.
DO NOT play your Sinister Strike cards before Malygos. This is you finishing combo for at least 16 damage. Alexstrasza knows how to make it happen.
DO NOT be shy to play not fully buffed Galakrond if it is a matter of surviving against aggro decks.
ALWAYS count lethal and think ahead. Your main goal is to maximum decrease your opponents health, if not playing Alex and, ofcourse, stay alive till your combo.
5. Video
big up to my man Kadakk for showcasing this deck and explaining some key moments:
So this is it. If you have any questions - let me know in comments. If you have any success stories with this deck, please share it. GL!
41 - 23 for now - can't ressist putting alex instead maiev (some matchups are way easier for me because of that card and I love highrolling her for 0 mana just my playstyle I guess :P). Also a side note - you made me try hearthstone again and... I love it lol - wasn't playing at least for a year and I still love valeera (dunno why maly is so unpopular but I like it that way - it's more surprising but I got only plat 5 so people sometimes make mistakes here - I know also that rogue can be unforgiving and getting a brick hand is what it is sometimes but people freak out and yell that it is a garbage deck)
TL:DR LOVE IT YOU MADE ME LIKE HEARTHSTONE AGAIN (counting every damage, being ahead of your turn and tempo is why I love rogue <3
thanks buddy, for your feedback! <3
I'm currently 1-9 with this deck.. really don't know how you got these stats.
Deck is too slow for this meta.
Anyway, couldn't make it a decent deck for beat the rest.
This deck plays very good against any kind of control decks. 1-9 is honestly a bad streak, i am sorry.If you are facing a lot of aggro on the ladder, then, probably, it is not the deck you want to play right now.
You should try it with a new, improved list. Made legend EU today with this. Big UP!
Good deck. It's like a standart Galakrond Rogue, but better.
Thank you sir, you are welcome.
How to play to beat dragon hunter.
I've always lost
If you're like me and didn't get SN1P-SN4P when he was given out, I found that Grand Lackey Erkh is a suitable replacement. Awesome deck btw! Loads of fun.
Any replacement for umbral?
I can’t imagine any other card to give you equal value. Umbral is a must have here.
The deck is great Last month i reached legend with similar deck but with evil miscreant and sap,but now after new cards from adventure the deck didnt work so well ,now the tempo cards and special bone wraith made this deck again working.Anyway alex can be replaced with any tempo good card perhaps i suggest the new mech with rush and windfuryGyrocopter .A good start hand is mostly win and can win against any class .
I don't really play Rogue very much, is Flik worth the craft?
Frankly speaking, it is not essential card in this deck. But at the same time it is a very powerful rogue card. If you replace it you lose a very powerful control tool, but it will not affect your initial maly combo.
yeah-definitely
Really great deck as it is with lots of powerful stuff. I love it <3
Glad you like it, mate! HF!
Hey dude, great deck!
I was looking for something similar since the Galakrond announcement.
The only problem is that i don’t have Heistbaron, so i replaced him with a Spirit of the shark for more wombo combos!
Hey guys,
I decided to try this deck out so if you want to see a gameplay commentary you can check my video out.
In the first game I would say I had the exemplary game how to pilot this. It was a game against a quest priest which is a slower MU and something you really look for with this deck imo. I made a few decisions that I think most people would not and finished with clean malygos burst. Next games are showing that you dont always need to stick to the main gameplan of malygos and you can win with different tactics.
I hope you can enjoy the video :)
Ma frined, can u leave a link to your replays? And will you recomend this deck to climb from 15 rank?
