INTRO
Hey guys i'm ThuFull, i'm from Italy and i currently play for team Powned. I just hit a lot of times top 10 with this Malygos lock in the last 2 season and i reach #3 legend this season (after win 4 games at #4). So, some people ask me to make guide of this deck and i just want to share with the community.
CARD EXPLANATION
2x Mortal Coil: It's a really good early removal and can be useful with malygos for remove big minions.
1x Soulfire: I prefer run only one Soulfire cause i thinks this is a control deck and not a pure combo deck, so i prefer to play Bane of Doom instead.
1x Zombie Chow: Hunters killer, fantastic early drop, but i like to play only one.
1x Abusive Sergeant: It's really good to play in combo with BGH to counter cards like Taurissan and other 5atk minions, it's also good in early game versus aggro decks
2x Darkbomb: This card is amazing in this deck, you can use it to early clear or to finish the opponent with Malygos.
1x Acidic Swamp Ooze: Probably the best tech card in this Patron meta, it's also good versus hunters and Aggro shaman to kill the doomhammer. If you don't watch a lot of warriors you can run 2x Owl.
1x Ironbeak Owl: Standard silence in warlock decks, i prefer to play only 1 in this meta.
2x Big Game Hunter: I like a lot the theory of double BGH in this deck, one is for boom and one is for taurissan, but is also good in other situation and can help versus hunter in early turns to rush the opponent.
2x Imp Gang Boss: I think Imp gang boos is over blacking technician, it's really good versus aggro decks and is more solid, it's a easy turn 3.
2x Hellfire: I play two hellfire and no shadowflames in this deck, i tested a lot shadow flame but i think is not really good cause i don't have good minion to use it. Hellfire is also good with malygos or to burst the opponent.
2x Imp-losion: Fantastic removal that help a lot with the board control.
1x Defender of Argus: I like to play only 1 argus cause i prefer to run one sludge belcher to have a solid alternative taunt in the deck.
2x Twilight Drake: Pretty solid dragon minion.
1x Bane of Doom: I like a lot play this card in this deck, it's a good removal that have a lot of chance to summon good minions, it's also good versus aggro decks to help to make a good board control, it's a -1 for the oppo and +1 for me.
2x Antique Healbot: Standard double healbot in warlock decks.
2x Azure Drake: Pretty solid dragon minion, spell power and draw engine are really goods in this deck.
2x Blackwing Corruptor: Fantastic card, it's an amazing removal with really strong stats.
1x Sludge Belcher: I play one argus, so only one belcher is ok.
1x Emperor Thaurissan: The basic of the deck, we have to play it when we have a good hand and not always at turn 6, he can win the game if we play it correctly,
1x Malygos: I think i don't have to explain this card is this deck :D
GAMEPLAY AND MATCHUPS
Hunter: Face hunter is a really bad matchup, hard mulligan for mortal coil, darkbomb, zombie chow, owl and healbot. Probably the only way to win this matchup is win the rush race, play BGH on turn 3 can help to rush the opponent, and the Blackwing Corruptor can help a lot this matchup. Defender of argus play correctly is also a win condition. Midrange hunter is a decent matchup, we mulligan for imp gang boss, dark bomb, owl and twilight drake, with the coin are good ooze and healbot too. We can win this matchup with the board control, remove all minions and try to win in early turns.
Warlock: Zoo is a decent matchup, mulligan is like to midrange hunter, but we can keep imp-losion that is pretty good in this matchup. Try to take the board control in the first turn and win in late game with the 5 cost minions. Handlock is a easy matchup, double BGH is pretty strong and handlock is so slow so we can burst it with malygos and spells. Keep Twilight, owl, imp-losion, imp gang boss and BGH.
Warrior: Patron warrior is a easy match up, we have double hellfire to counter his double patrons combo. The only problem in this match up is Frothing berserk, so play EVERY time around it and play safe, argus and healbot are fundamental. Keep ooze, drakes and blackwing corruptor with coin, also keep hellfire is good. Control warrior is a decent match up. Play dragons in early game and make pressure, play around Brawl and play good thaurissan are the win condition.
Mage: Tempo mage is a good match up. Hellfire is a good clear and imp-losion / blackwing corruptors are amazing. Keep zombie chow, twilight, darkbomb, imp-losion, imp gang boss and coil. Freeze mage is probably the worst matchup of this deck, try to win with malygos burst but is really difficoult.
Paladin: Aggro paladin is a bad match up, the divine shield are a problem for this deck, keep early game cards and try to see Healbot and argus. Midrange paladin is a good matchup, hellfire is amazing vs the Quartermaster combo, and also paladin is a slow deck, so we can win with malygos burst. Keep imp gang boss, coil, darkbomb, twilight and implosion with coin.
Priest: Priest is a good matchup, the dragons are amazing vs priest and he have not answer to malygos burst, play good the emperor when you have both malygos and spells in your hand to win. Play around cabal and no summon imp gang boss on late game.
Rogue: Oil rogue is a bad match up. The only win condition in take the board control and taunts with argus. We don't have answer to rogue burst and blade flurry removal so i think is one of the bad matchup. Keep imp gang boss, twilight and darkbomb for his 3 cost drops.
Druid: Druid is a decent matchup, we have a lot of answer to kill his minion and take the board control, the only problem is the combo, but we can play around it and heal with healbot or taunt with argus/belcher. Keep imp gang boss, twilight, imp-losion (is good cause he have to play swipe).
Shaman: Mech shaman is a bad match up, we have to have the early game answer and the BGH to kill fel reavers to win the game. Hard mulligan for early drop and removal. Midrange shaman is a decent matchup, he have the counter of the twilight drake, but we can shot it with malygos cause shaman is really slow. Mulligan for Drakes, imp-losion and imp gang boss.

is the muligan is the same for this deck?
I love this deck! To make it a bit strong against the aggro i am facing currently i replaced Bane of Doom with a 2nd Sludge Belcher and swapped a Big Game Hunter with a Defender of Argus.
I am not sure about double Hellfire versus 1 Shadowflame. I kinda have the feeling that Shadowflame is better against aggro. I will continue to run 1 of each and always ask myself if a Hellfire would have been better when I draw the Shadowflame.
This deck was a lot more viable last season. The meta this season is generally way more aggressive, and this deck has trouble against aggro decks other than Patron.
I mean without Malygos this deck is basically just a deck that tries to outvalue the opponent.. without Malygos you loose your main win condition. Sure, some games you'll manage to win without Malygos but alot of the time he is crucial, so to answer you question, no you cannot play this deck without Malygos.
Kezan Mystic for the Later ranks Mages and Hunters. Or Basic spider tank, strong 3 drop and damage sponge/spell sponge.
Nope. It doesn't work like that.
@Syrion93 You really need at least one BGH, you might replace the second with Siphon Soul
Ciao Thufull, i-m italian, but i write in english so everyone can understand.
I feel this deck is fantastic. I play at low elo (rank 6/3) and this month i almost played just this deck. I collect the data of my match and i played 160 match, winning 105. Is a lot. Just two question. I had more difficult to reach ranked 10 then reach level 5. I explain myself, this deck don-t perfom well against face pala and face hunter, very popular deck. So i feel to suggest don-t play this deck until ranked 8 is reached.
Second: Malygos combo let me win just 11 match of the 105. Is that normal? Coz i feel sometimes, Malygos slow my deck instead of give me winning condition. I know this comment is weird coz Malygos is the tech of the deck, so i wish to receive some tips to understand how to let him work well, coz i think i missed something.
Thnks
Really bad deck, dont even try.
Bad how? Because you can't play it?
may be you told it already but replacement for 2nd BGH?
i play a deck quite similar to this one, only i added an alextrasza, 2 soulfires, and a bloodmage in it :D works fine, tried this one too and found out that it's also effective... though i'd stick to my deck tho
no this deck is not new but great guide for people that are unfamiliar with warlocks i took out a bgh for a mistic still gets the rush n stops most freeze mages
ThuFull what happend to your rank, before you was rank 16 now your aroud 1000...
i havent seen so menny people play this deck latly, was alot of people used it a weak ago, but have not seen anyone play it last 3-4 days.
Really fun
Saying this deck is ok against Zoo is a huge lie. Zoo wrecks this deck by turn 5 before you can do anything. Even if you do manage to survive they overwhelm you.
You're doing it wrong.
This is basically this exact deck with two techs:

Adds ooze for owl and bane of doom for a sludge beltcher. This would be a horrible climb deck bc it's soo weak to aggro.
