The idea is to use the low minion count and high value cost of minions to make King's Elekk a reliable spot on demand card draw while using a combination of secrets and spells to tempo the board and get to your end game. The use of hero power will be crucial. The deck has the raw power to win on its own without needing Malygos, but for decks using plethora of healing, the combination could easily burst them down.
Mulligan guide
King's Elekk, Explosive Trap, Bear Trap, Freezing Trap, Flare(only if facing secret class), Deadly Shot(warlock and druid)..There is some value into holding onto an Emperor Thaurissan if you have coin
Synergies
Emperor Thaurissan enable a great amount with this deck. So its important to know when to play him. Unlike other decks you really need to get certain values reduced, mostly Arcane Shot.
King's Elekk is a rather important part of the deck as it gives some spot on draw to the main combo pieces of the deck
Eagle Horn Bow. The deck runs 6 secrets, so that should be pretty self explanatory
Gadgetzan Auctioneer + Tracking orFlare can lead to some rather effective card draw to fill your hand with combo pieces for that last push.
Malygos. If you get a good reduction on him and some damage spells the amount of reach you can achieve will be pretty damn awesome.
How can a deck with only 5 minions be control?
The deck is a hybrid of combo and control. Much in the same way as hunter otk would use secrets and spells to deny a board for as long as they could wile burning face with bow and hero power, this deck does the same thing. By using the combo pull with the Gadgetzan Auctioneer you will be able to fill out your hand pretty decently. By the time you get to 9 or 10 you should have the tool to kill in a most surprising manor.

I find it interesting that this deck will actually be a standard deck
I saw far an away into the future....
No powershot?
Been trying to make Malygos work in about 10+ TGT hunter themed decks for the past 3 hours now, with sadly no luck.
Definitely going to try this out!
If it works Chiv you have saved my sanity
when I commented on being 60% win rate I had played 5 matches. no I have played 13 and I have a 85% win rate. absolutely love this deck. my only loses have been to lock and I think they were midrange lock I beat a handlock pretty easy. went from rank 13 to rank 10 without a lose.
edit: if it helps this was my play style. if i ever saw a deck that wasn't playing board early i played my minions and went face as much as i could to get them into an easy range of qs and as and maly. if i had any of my big guys i mulled with out fear, if i had elekk i kept it. if i had no minions but i had bear trap i played that. by turn 4 if things went right you should have them between 12 and 20 hp. at that point try to control the board as much as you can while saving qs and as. if i couldn't i traded elekk and ac without hesitation. after turn 4 you just try to stall till they are in range of shots to face and hp or maly and shots. i played freezing early if i had eaglehorn out so i could get more charges. just try to control which minion will proc it. between turn 8 and 10 you should have lethal.
for a flat mull standard, i kept bear trap, arcane shot, quick shot, animal companion, freezing trap, tracking, flare (if it was a secret class), king's elekk, eaglehorn, and kill command (if i had no other removal or minions in my hand)
the list of what i know i have beaten:
- grim patron war
-classic control war
-handlock
-eboladin
-4 mage decks, 2 mech mage, one kinda mirange/tempo deck (didn't get to see much of it),1 tempo mage
-oil rogue and dragon rogue
- totem shaman
- 1 hunter (face hunter)
-2 priest dragon priest, control priest
my losses:
- 2 warlock, one demon midrange, one agro
-1 hunter (face hunter)
-1 shaman (midrange)
as of 8/26 I am 15-4 at 79% win rate
Very nice break down glad you are enjoying the deck
Nice its like a revamped BTK deck from way back when. Good to see you make it work Chiv.
some times the classics never die
Im still testing it. Its a rough mulligan to say the least. Mostly just secrets eleks and animal companions
I built this deck and sop far I've won about 60% of my games
