Why play dragons ?

This deck is my second attempt at making a spell-based rogue. The main problem encountered is that the meta now relies heavily on board state, and with the nerf of blade flurry, we have no way to keep up with big health creatures. So, how can we win without board clear, and still rely on a spell-based gameplay ?

I found a solution, wich consist of Dragons. Yeah, those are not spells. But, thanks to Azure Drake, Bloodmage Thalnos, Shiv, and of course Gadgetzan Auctioneer, we have ways to find those dragons.

The great thing is that we will need only 6 of them : 2 Azure Drakefor Cycle and Spell damage, Malygos, to achieve the opponent, 2 Twilight Guardian, wich help survives the early game (triggering it ahs never been a problem) and Chillmaw versus midrange decks.

But wait, dragons are not the only new thing, Yogg-Saron himself allows to close games when you don't draw spell + malygos, and it's working greatly.

How does it works ?

[To be added : cards explanation]

(I am still testing this deck so stay tuned for updates)

The deck relies on good early plays to seize the board, with cards such as Edwin VanCleef, SI:7 Agent, Backstab and Eviscerate combined with Bloodmage Thalnos. Don't hesitate to use Preparation early.

We still have some AOE now with Chillmaw and Abomination, preventing Shaman and Zoo from flooding the board.

The win condition is either Creatures damages +Yogg-Saron, Hope's End, or Creatures damages + Malygos combo. The malygos combo usually consist of 9-15 damages maximum, and as we get coins with Tomb Pillager, you don't have to keep Preparation for it.

If you have any questions or remark, feel free to comment.

Good luck !
