Edit : RIP Malylock, we will miss you BibleThump
Hey guys !
This is my Malylock deck, working pretty well so far ! Legend proof : http://imgur.com/gxQ1Cyh
Matchups & Mulligans :
VS aggro decks :
You need to have your best early cards to win. Zombie Chow, Dark Peddler are key cards in these matchups.
An Ironbeak Owl can be also kept to deal with the early pressure vs like secret Paladin and Hunter.
Best start : Zombie Chow (T1)
Peddler (T2)
life tap into Peddler's one drop (T3)
VS control decks :
mulligan for : Zombie Chow, Dark Peddler, Twilight Drake
If you manage to keep a board, it is almost always a win.
Your late game is not so strong if you can't get a good Emperor Thaurissan (which means reducing Malygos and Darkbomb/Soulfire or Darkbomb&Soulfire. With this, you will be able to do your 17 damage combo with 10 mana.
Sometimes you will have to use your Soulfire and both Darkbomb, but you can win with your good creatures or sometimes a Malygos+Hellfire combo.
Remarks :
Abusive Sergeant is used for Big Game Hunter combo (on Tirion, Emperor, Loatheb, ...). It can save you sometimes !
You really need to draw one Big Game Hunter. If you cannot deal with Dr. Boom, Mountain Giant, Alexstrasza or cards like this, you will loose. Moreover, you will be able to kill Mysterious Challenger after Avenge or Competitive Spirit
Don't hesitate to ask some questions, I'll try to answer them quickly ! ;)

why run 2 BGH?
i only have one can i replace it with like siphon soul or something?
Replacement for Twilight Guardians?
I don't have them, and don't really want to spend 800 dust this close to a new expansion.
Hey this deck looks super fun, I have everything I need, but am missing one BGH. Is there a replacement I can use? I really do not want to craft a second one seeing as he will probably be nerfed soon. (though to be fair, if he gets nerfed I can disenchant him for full dust). Would a second Earthen Ring Farseer do the trick? Or do I absolutely NEED that second BGH?
try Siphon Soul
then cut abusive, cuz it is here for bgh. Add imp gang.
Guys, what do you think about this deck in compare with tempo mage? What is better to climb up the ladder now?
P.S. I have malygos and enough dust to make two BGH and two twilight guardians I missing, or maybe its better to make archmage antonidas (missing too) and go tempo mage?
I use my tempo mage to climb the ladder, but this is much more fun. You might consider crafting Ragnaros the Firelord instead of Archmage. He's a good choice in tempo mage and has the advantage that he can be used in a variety of other decks. While with Tony, you're just stuck with the mage.
Not for this meta.... TOOOOOO slow:
No chance to control early game.
Really hard to use Malygos combo to finish, or establish.
its usually just for fun
How did u lost against priest even in casual? You play this deck really wrong, i suppose. The combo from maly isn't too important, it is mostly for control matchups, since u can win another one with ur heavy minions, like drakes and blackwing corr.
Awsome deck man! Do you still play it ranked? How is it in current meta?
Love the deck, thank you so much. Just a few questions
1.) While I dont have Brann Bronzebeard yet, what can I use to sub, because atm I am using silent knight.
2.) Can I switch 1 of the Antique Healbots for The Reno Jackson.
3.) Is it ok to switch The Chillmaw for a Dr. Boom.
Appreciate if you reply. :)
While I'm not the author, I'll give you some of my own advice
As far as Brann goes, he's not necessary in the deck, just nice. Through all my games with this deck, I find it hard to get more than 1, and never more than 2 uses of his effect. The double antique bot is nice with him, but you can still win without that. I would simply use an Imp Gang Boss in his place, as that's what the author had before he was released and is still one of the best 3 drops in the game
Idk if you're playing ranked, but whenever I get on the ladder, there is A LOT of aggro decks on there. The deck, as is, has 12 duplicate card, and imo, you aren't going to get the effect out of Reno in such a cancerous environment. I feel like that being the case, a lower cost drop with a more immediate effect would benefit you more and to your winrate. With that being said, if you find that you are getting down to the last 5 or so cards in your deck, he could be a good replacement for you.
In short, yes. Boom is a good replacement for Chillmaw, especially after the Patron nerf, which I feel was a main reason as to why the card was added. It does help against aggro decks when they've built big boards and you think they're out of silences, but I wouldn't consider it necessary. If you have other cards such as Chromaggus, (as the other poster said) (Ysera, Nefarian, etc, I think they might be a better sub so you don't lose that synergy. But if you find your games ending earlier rather than later, find yourself needing a strong 7 drop, or have good luck and don't end up without that second dragon in your hand often, Boom is the best for that spot
Hope I helped!
Brann Bronzebeard isn't even out yet
i would love to hear how you hit legend with the new LOE cards Kappa. all trolling aside this decklist is great. the only thing that looks kind of off is double owl since bran dosent let you hit 2 minions with it. swapping it out with something like abusive sergeant for bran or for bgh would be good
Brann or not, 2 owl still good
Not really sure if Reno Jackson is good against aggro, since almost any game against aggro the game won't last till turn 29. Against control however, this card I think greatly influences the game. I guess it all ends up on whether the meta will shift into slower decks. I honestly am not sure if Reno Jackson will be bad or great. Brann will probably make the cut though, not sure what i want to replace him with.
I think that two new cards in the LoE set, Curse of Rafaam and Brann Bronzebeard might be possible additions to this deck. Brann combos pretty well with Twilight Drakes and Twilight Guardians, and even Antique Healbots if your not pushing for heavy tempo early on with your drakes. Curse of Rafaam if tagged with Emperor and serve as 7 damage to your opponent. Curse of Rafaam easily serves as -2 mana to your opponent with Malygos on board, and it takes care of freeze mages!
Yeah, me too. 16 hp Antique Healbot, 6 damage Blackwing Corruptor, 10+ hp Twilight Drake. All the possibilites. Just wondering which card should be replaced.
