Druid + Malygos? Who the hell plays Malygos in a druid deck?
This deck is precisely the reason why Malygos exists. You are going to love it. Fun and performance guaranteed.
EDIT 12/06 replaced Nourish with Tree of Life because I already have more than enough card draw and mana advantage. Also replaced Hungry Dragon with Twilight Drake because I precisely have alot of cards on my hand. I prefer having a 4/7 rather than a 5/6 with an enemy minion drawback.
The main strategy of this deck is to get ahead of the opponent with a mana curve advantage using Innervate, Wild Growth, Nourish and the excellent Blackwing Technician.
So basically you are going for a mulligan with the above mentioned card. An early dragon such as Azure Drake or Hungry Dragon will also help.
This deck has alot of damage burst, such as Swipe, Moonfire, Wrath, as well as the very useful Blackwing Corruptor and a Wild Pyromancer (if you don't have Swipe, use Wrath with Wild Pyromancer and the effect is pretty much the same).
You will of course enhance the power of your spells using dudes like Bloodmage Thalnos, Azure Drake and Malygos.
Gadgetzan Auctioneer combos very very well with Moonfire, turn 10 Wild Growth, Innervate and Emperor Thaurissan.
I also kept great support cards such as Keeper of the Grove, Ancient of the Lore and... balanced Dr Boom.
Feel free to give your feedback, you WILL love this deck.
I would go with Twilight Guardian over either of the other 4 mana dragons; it at least stops two unbuffed patrons in that scenario.
I'd be interested in trying going to two Wild Pyromancer with Acolyte of Pain instead of Ancient of War for card draw but I'm trying it before I say anything more about things like that :)
But having different card draw would mean needing more healing in different forms; Healing Touch works with Gadgetzan Auctioneer and Antique Healbot and/or Refreshment Vendor could be powerful.
I'm excited for the possibilities
I think BGH is a must in every control deck nowadays. Anyway, I like this deck, but it doesn't seem to be enough consistent in the actual meta.
this deck is very good but one small change is i took out nefarian for ysera. The reason being is that ysera is not a bgh target and you get value from her right away. But one question as well. How do you feel is the best way to play this deck to maximize efficiency? I am just trying to find a balance to help make the winrate better. I find i either really win or get stomped any suggestions are welcome.
This deck has pratically no cycling. It cant work without it. (not as well anyway)
I finally got Tree of Life today, so I pulled the deck back out to play a little. Alas, won 4 and lost 5. Still really like the deck, but it seems to run right around 50% for me.
Definitely had some clutch Tree of Life plays. At first I thought it was silly, but It's done a lot of work.
For Grim Warrior, Having played Thaurissan so you can MAYBE Maly+Swipe or Thalnos+ Drake+ Swipe are your only real options. You can hope to grind em out by efficient silencing + Damage. Hungry Dragon might be the better play than Twilight, because then at least you're filling their board with "not a patron".
I've been playing Yserain the deck, and she's had some success vs Grim with Ysera Awakens or just throwing out big, unignorable dragons.
This deck is really fun and actually pretty strong! (at least at rank 13 where I am this season) Not that great against aggro but it can hold its own. Lot of fun combos late game with malygos, auctioneer and nefarian. Doesn't seem like it would be consistent but I have gone on 5+ game win streaks.
I just played a long game vs demon lock, we were down to under 4 cards each and similar in health. I used nefarian and got a soulfire to give me exact lethal on the same turn. Had another fun game vs a warrior where I got a innerage and execute to kill a alextrasza when I had no other way to kill it! I was thinking about taking out nefarian but there is no way it would be as fun to play this deck.
I was also wondering about the tree of life addition, usually its useless but I just used it on turn 7 after a thaurissan +coin for a clutch heal vs face hunter. Guess I'll keep it in for now :P
*just nefarianed a mark of the wild and savage roar to get exact lethal the next turn lol that card is so funny sometimes
Problem with this deck is you lose board and you're done, because you only have Wrath and Swipe. You end up with a huge hand of expensive minions you can only play 1 at a time while your opponent tempos you to death, really sucks vs hunter. Maybe -Tree of Life +Naturalize
Hi Phyriel, thanks for this long feedback/comment !
I agree that Hungry Dragon or Twilight Drakes are both underwhelming. BGH is really a good card to have in the deck so I am really considering it.
Is Troggzor really good? Maybe you can replace him with another Legendary Dragon?
Cheers
Interesting deck, and I almost have everything to run it. I just need to craft Malygos, and replace Bloodmage Thalnos with a Kobold Geomancer for the +spell damage.
Yeah, I use the death rattle, but I'm not going to craft Bloodmage Thalnos until later on...he can be replaced, but Malygos can't be. Also, Malygos can be used in other decks for other classes too. Well so can Thalnos, but I only lose the death rattle...not that huge of a deal to me
to draw malygos, you need card draw.. Bloodmage help a bit for it. but yeah, Geomancer is a good replacement..
Okay, it is quite a bit of fun. :) A zero mana spell (Moonfire) is quite useful with Malygos and if they can't remove him, the 9 damage + 6 damage Swipe is flippin' amazing. Just remember to go face with it. I had every card but the second Ancient of Lore. I substituted a second Nourish, as you really need the card draw. On that note, did get like 4 cards out of Gadgetzan Auctioneer in one game, cycling unspent The Coin, Wild Growth, and Excess Mana cards.
I only had a little time to play with it. Got 3 wins and 2 losses in Casual mode. Hunter was a loss. So was Patron Warrior who got his Grommash Hellscream combo before I could counter it.
Hi, thank you for playing this deck and commenting !
I really like how Gadgetzan's ability gets really buffed with Thaurissan Emperor.
I agree, there is no direct answer against Patron Warrior because this deck dies before it can clean the board. I'd say that the key would be to silence the warrior's acolytes and make sure it can't use any efficient Battle Rage...
I added Tree of Life to deal with Hunters, it does work if you manage to get the card with innervate or thaurissan but sometimes it won't happen.
The presence of Tree of life Suggests Alex would be useful.
Alex would be good, you would have to replace it with Nefarian for instance.
However Nefarian does have kind of a very good synergy in this deck so it is hardly removable.
It could be interesting tho, maybe a bit too slow?
I'm inclined to agree. After playing with it, Alex doesn't really fit. I've been playing with the idea of taking out tree of life and putting in Cho to grab whatever they try to remove him with, for extra spell fodder, along with Ysera in place for Nef.
I've only managed to do it once, but Maly with Ysera Awakens is pretty hilarious. More funny than good, though.
Yeah I replaced nefarian with alex, even though the spells are useful.
