Hey there, I'm quor, I really love playing rogue and my most favorite rogue deck is Malyrogue (before Un'Goro I played like 1000-1500 games with this deck)
This is based on a typical pre-Mammoth Malyrogue.
No Tomb Pillager and Azure Drake and Emperor Thaurissan in standard for sure hurts.
But Burgly Bully in theory should be a good replacement for Tomb Pillager.
And maybe Valeera the Hollow is kinda a replacement for Emperor.
You basically can survive+draw cards(to get to your keyparts)
and at turn ~9 you can play Valeera the Hollow = surviving at least one more turn.
After that, potential Malygos combos are:
Malygos + The Coin + Sinister Strike + Sinister Strike from HP(hero power) = 16 damage
Malygos + The Coin + The Coin from HP+ Eviscerate = 9 damage
And of course you still may have more coins/preps/evis/sinister/shiv/leafs
So you can always add potential Preparation + Eviscerate for 9 more damage
or The Coin + Sinister Strike for 8 more damage
So many combinations of your spells to make up to OTK-Damage to the opponent face...
If you have hurt them a bit earlier, this should be a win.
So Valeera the Hollow works a bit like Emperor Thaurissan, as she gives you the possibility to play one more damage-spell (and thats at least 5 more damage, lol). She also gives you help in cycling with Gadgetzan Auctioneer if you still need it that late in the game.
Emperor would give you even more in these terms (possibility to kill opponent one turn earlier or to play even more spells) + you could pull Emperor with Barnes,
but Emperor would not be able to give you one more turn to survive ;)
Maybe adding Sherazin, Corpse Flower is a good idea (barnes and the general miraculous style of this Malyrogue should make it a good choice). Adding Vilespine Slayer might be nice as well. You could cut a Shiv, Sap(especially if you cut for Vilespine Slayer, one Burlgy Bully or one SI:7 Agent.
If you still have 2 SI:7 Agent, you could also replace them with Shadowblade, since they don't harm your Barnes, don't need Combo and can't be traded (only destroyed by oozes and stuff), but keep in mind, that SI:7 Agent potentially have more durability than a Shadowblade, and you also have your Hero Power, that is sort of a competitor to any other weapons.
As for now, I don't think adding a Mimic Pod would be that good, since Shiv cycles the same + poke + one more damage spell for Malygos
Sorry for using one card of KFT to make an old deck work instead of introducing whole new decks :D
Feel free to ask questions or to share your opinion, I'd appreciate it.
CHANGES: -1 Razorpetal Lasher and +1 Patches the Pirate
Out of everything I've done with Malygos in my rogue deck, OTK actually has NOT been my most memorable/favorable moment. It's actually been playing a bunch of low minion cards on board like Swashburglar (x2) Patches, an SI agent and Malygos against Druid (Jade or Big Minion) I forgot. So he plays Spreading Pleague and puts up five (1/5) taunts and continues to BM me. Only to top deck Fan of Knives for 6 Damage, LuL....
For anyone who doesn't believe the OTK combo works in KFT.
An OTK is entirely possible, you just need to have BOTH Preparation, BOTH Eviscerate, BOTH Sinister Strike, and at least one of The Coin or Counterfeit Coin.
This also works if you have two coins and only one Sinister Strike OR if you have one Preparation but two of everything else. NOT if you have only one Eviscerate as the 2nd Eviscerate won't get the reduction off the HP that the 2nd had from the Preparation.
First of two turns: Valeera the Hollow
Second of two turns: Malygos -> Preparation + Eviscerate -> Preparation + Eviscerate -> Counterfeit Coin + Counterfeit Coin (2nd from HP) -> Sinister Strike + Sinister Strike.
Why no patches? Huge miss in my opinion especially against aggro and really bad idea to build a rogue deck in this meta without Vilespine... How many rogues decks don't run vilespine, what?!?!? You'd rather run dual sap and zero Vilespine?
I don't how you guys are going to live to turn 10 in this deck without any vilespine just sap you way to turn 10?
I think it should have been more like this:
# 2x (0) Backstab
# 2x (0) Counterfeit Coin
# 2x (0) Preparation
# 1x (1) Patches the Pirate
# 2x (1) Sinister Strike
# 2x (1) Swashburglar
# 1x (2) Bloodmage Thalnos
# 2x (2) Eviscerate
# 2x (2) Shiv
# 1x (3) Edwin VanCleef
# 2x (3) Fan of Knives
# 1x (3) Mimic Pod
# 1x (3) SI:7 Agent
# 1x (4) Barnes
# 1x (4) Xaril, Poisoned Mind
# 1x (5) Burgly Bully
# 2x (5) Vilespine Slayer
# 2x (6) Gadgetzan Auctioneer
# 1x (9) Malygos
# 1x (9) Valeera the Hollow
The mimic pod is big too, it literally won me a game or allowed me to steal a way a game.
I like your changes to the deck, having the two Vilespine Slayers saved me the game and allowed me to get to the TTK basically with Valeera and Malygos lol
I don't have Xaril but I know that would be a super dope addition to the deck. Not sure if that card is worth crafting or not. Potentially stealthing your auctioneer could be hella amazing though
Xaril, Poisoned Mind is a great card to add because he can sometimes give you Stealth or Draw a card or anything but in general he will give you 1 mana spells (2 of them) which will greatly assist you throughout the game.
I like this list, but think it'd be worth making room for Sharazim somewhere. Hitting him off Barnes is too good not to include with Barnes.
