My attempt at a Malygos combo druid using new Forest Warden Omu + Germination combo. Sphere of Sapience and Lorekeeper Polkelt also feature to help get combo pieces, while Lightning Bloom enables some of the combo plays or to break out big plays if neccessary.
Rest of the deck is filled out with a big dragon ramp lineup since Breath of Dreams and Frizz Kindleroost work well with Malygos anyway and big dragons give you something to do while waiting for combo to come together and might even be enough to win the game on occasion without a Malygos combo.
Potential OTK combo wins:
- Omu (6 mana down) + Germination (10), (refresh), Malygos (9), Moonfire, (refresh), Swipe (4), Swipe (8), Moonfire
- Satyr discounts Malygos, Malygos (4 mana down), Omu (10), Moonfire, (refresh), Swipe (4), Swipe (8), Moonfire
- Satyr discounts Malygos, Malygos (4 mana down), Swipe (8), Lightning Bloom (6), Swipe (10), Moonfire, Moonfire
- Satyr discounts Omu, Omu (1 mana down), Malygos (10), Moonfire, (refresh), Swipe (4), Swipe (8), Moonfire
- Frizz discounts Malygos, Malygos (7 mana down), Lightning Bloom (5), Lightning Bloom (3), Omu (9), Moonfire, (refresh), Swipe (4), Swipe (8), Moonfire
- Frizz discounts Malygos, Satyr discounts Malygos, Malygos (2 mana down), Swipe (6), Swipe (10), Moonfire, Moonfire.
- (if going second) Frizz discounts Malygos, Malygos (7 mana down), Lightning Bloom (5), Lightning Bloom (3), Swipe (7), Coin (6), Swipe (10), Moonfire, Moonfire
And if your opponent is damaged it's even easier. If they have 31 from armor you can even throw in a hero power for +1 damage with some of those combo options.
EDIT:
Swapped Overflow with Crystal Power for early game survivability, swapped 1 copy of Twin Tyrant for an Evasive Drakonid for curving out and potentially stabilising 1 turn earlier.

Posted Aug 2, 2020 (Pre-Expansion Nerfs)I've made an edit, and here are some further options I'm considering.
Possible Edit Thoughts
Main weakness of this build is definitely aggro, hence the edit I already made, so most likely changes are putting in more ways to combat that.
Includes:
Archspore Msshi'fn- anti aggro + ramp reward from the prime, adds a bad roll for your Satyrs though and generally decreases chances of hitting Malygos or Omu, but might be easy enough to dump before your Satyr goes off
Crystal Power (another copy)- pure anti aggro for the early game, easy to fit into your turns so you can still probably play ramp cards, but might not be high impact enough to be worth an extra copy
Speaker Gidra- anti aggro, needs mana and support in hand so it might be a bit slow but can clear boards well
Evasive Drakonid (another copy)- expensive, but with ramp could help stabilise. Adds more minions to take away Satyr combo chances and not too easy to dump on demand, but if you do it hit it you at least get some good value so you're not too upset.
Ironbark and Bogbeam- for anti-aggro, take a bit of time to get going though so may not be there when you need them most.
Excludes:
Sphere of Sapience- Helps to find combo cards, but this deck has multiple ways of getting a combo, especially if you can damage the opponent a bit as will often happen, and Lorekeeper Polkelt is already really good for getting Malygos, the most essential combo card. Therefore, this card may not be needed as much as it takes away a slot that could be filled with needed defensive tools which can buy you time to just draw into the right cards anyway.
Twin Tyrant (the remaining copy)- Could be replaced with another Evasive Drakonid, which can come down a little faster. I liked Twin Tyrant for the removal since you want to save swipes and moonfires for Malygos, but a big Taunt might do the job fine.
Big Ol' Whelp- Nice as one of the cheaper playable dragons to get you moving early, and has added value of helping a little to dig for combo cards. It doesn't do anything on board immediately though and at 5 mana it's not going to come down all that early even with ramp. Could replace one or both copies with Evasive Drakonid, Msshi'fn and/or Speaker Gidra.
