been itching to craft a dragon in months, and I’ve narrowed it to these two. I could play malygos Druid and rogue, or freeze mage and whatever uses Alex.
Any thoughts? Fun is an important aspect as well as power.
I'd say historically Alexstrasza has been used in more viable and top tier decks than Malygos. Personally I prefer Alex cause she allows some really slow/control decks to have an "easy" win condition (control early and mid game, drop Alex and kaboom those 15HP; or sometimes use her defensively to heal yourself out of lethal range). Malygos tends to appear in some crazy OTK decks, where you cycle cards till you get your sweet combo and obliterate your enemy no matter if they are full HP. I mean, right now with Priest you can build some decks around Malygos + Velen with some ress and copy-minion spells, and nuke your enemy with a 40 damage Mind Blast or stuff like that. IMO it's funny, but those decks tend to be more RNG/lucky top deck dependant and TO ME they feel "cheaper" than a classic control strategy; but that's completely subjective so pick what you prefer, both cards are quite fine right now :)
as the other said, alex is more versatile but malygos is way more fun (and one of my favourite cards). If you play wild too go malygos because in wild is full of combo possibilities with that
If we are talking about Wild both are extremely viable as they are run in quite a few top tier decks at the moment.
If we are talking about standard then Alexstrasza is arguably the safer card to craft since she is usually more relevant in any given meta for control mages and priests on occassion.

Cool stuff. I’m leaning toward Malygos because I like those kinds of decks. I have 3200 dust, so I will likely craft Malfurian and malygos. Once I save up again I’ll craft Alex.
I would craft both dragons before malfurion. Malfurion is a strong card, usually not game-deciding, and out of standard in 10 months. Malygos and Alex (and Ysera) are worth every bit of dust. You can always find ways to use them in competitive decks.

Alex seems more versatile so I'd go with her, but if you like druid and rogue then go with Malygos.
Alex is in competitive decks more often, but Malygos always find a deck to win her fair share of games once in a while.
Both are really fun and good classic Legendaries, but Maly is my favorite since it often leads to surprise kills.
Alex is a lot more versatile, but if you want to have more fun, craft Maly and play druid and rogue for the memes.

Malygos is a game winner in quest druid

Malygos if you like those fun OTK decks, but these kind of deck never really competitive or consistent, given the natural aggro favor of this game.
Alex if you want to play mainstream control deck. You can always put her in any control version of Mage, Warrior or Priest

Any deck recommendations for either card?
I vote Malygos over Alexstrazsa, better combo opportunities with multiple classes. Enjoy!
Word! He’s been on my radar since I started playing, but now I have the luxury of crafting him. So stoked!

Is there any use for Ysera in the meta right now? Just oppened it and wondering in which deck i can play it
