It's an EU deck, another deck that requires too much skill for an American player :/
Strange deck, but works fine^^
I live mono burn decks, like MTG mono-red burn decks ;)
its not a malygos deck. its a shaman dragon deck. <<.
The Moment I saw lava shock I knew something like this would come. I love the deck, however the practice of up votes for guide is generally bad for the community.
Interesting idea... but manacurve: why wouldn't make 4-mana higher, eg. 1-2 Belchers replace with 1-2 Argus (Shaman is that class, that really can afford it himself!), why we need those Volcanic when we have in 90% cases better new class 4-mana unit, especially with 2 Lava shocks and why we really need Corruptors - this is pure betrayal of our marvelous Fire elements so! And have some doubts in Fairy dragons as well as Hungry dragons (if even classes with class-ability that afford to control their 1-mana "gift" still have no viable decks with them!..), at least doubts that we really need 2 instances of both. I should test it though and then say my final "verdict" :)
Well I tested it in EU, in casual for beginning and my "verdict" if decks can be marked like cards in arena -tier-list this deck would get from me mark "D"-"F" not more. Have score like 2:8 against mostly shit-unranked decks no matter how good was my starting hand - in ranked I afaraid if I try it below 10 rank this score was 1:9 0:10 - something like this. Problems:
we really missed usual shaman's silences and big guy's killers - spell is not enough, so we have troubles and with cancer-deathrattle decks and really huge problems against Handlocks, CW, other heavy decks (well, to waste in average 2 spell for 1 Giant maybe OK but not for win-playing); Lava shock usually doesn't help, btw really often situation when we have more than 5 cards and have nothing to play! or different problem - empty hand, and Thaurissan without value - 2-d extreme; our totems have no "job" as in more or less working shaman's decks - we have no tools like Rockbiters, Flametongue, Argus, and it's really sad... So, sorry if it was too sharp criticism but if I make Maly Shaman: I first of all would add card-draw, at least 1-2 cards, return obvious shaman cards (like Hex, Rockbiter, Flametongue, Earthshock etc), and remove some doubtful cards for sure!
Wouldn't a single Ancestors call make this deck more consistent, given you can dump all the other minions out of your hand first?
I can't see how tempo plays will win this game alone. And if you have to rely on Malygos living for a turn before using your spells - well, one execute or poly will really ruin your day.
Please post the legend proof by the way. Thx.
First game and I got Malygos to stick - melted golden paladin's face with 2 lava burst for 20 damage on the next turn. Rofl!
My changes: -2 belcher, -1 volanic drake, +1 argus, +2 fire elem.
I've been working on this same idea myself, having a new Malygos to play with. It's amazing how well the deck works with dragon synergy and a possible Malygos burst finish. In my deck I hadn't thought of using Lava Burst or Volcanic Drakes. I'm interested in seeing how these work. Thanks for sharing your deck and congrats on making legend with something unique.
Edit: I played 8 games and lost 5... in casual mode. Tempo mage, hunter, and paladin all seemed like tough matchups. Even rogue walked on me, when the first minion I could get out was a Hungry Drake.
I won 6 out of 7 with this deck today, only around rank 10-9 though, but I didn't even get to pull off a malygos combo yet it hasn't came down to that, the deck can win before you get to that point too. I got rid of a lava shock for a bloodlust, I like the idea of having 2 types of combo win-conditions lol.
technically he didn't say this deck took him to legend, probably he is a legend player, but hasn't used this deck to reach that rank
no prove?
I don't see this deck working without Ancestor's Call .
Way too many minions to have ancestors call in the deck, also if you have tried the ancestors call shaman deck you'd know its not that good.
Malygos warlock has no ancestors call and it made many player legend
You realize Warlocks have infinitely better card draw, right? You simply cannot even remotely compare the two.
ok dude 12 up votes now write the guide please thanks :)
thanks for sharing list btw^^
proof of legend please?
A picture of legend doesnt really mean shit he could just get legend with patron warrior then play this deck till he wins and take a screenshot idk why people want "proof" The only real proof would be to show his statistics from a deck tracker that actually shows him winning his way to legend.
I hope u show any video or something since I think is hard to play. Thanks for share!
How do you make this work? I feel this deck won't survive past turn 6..
