I wonder why everyone suddenly stop playing Malygos decks.
Yea, I get it, warlock can't without darkbomb, shaman can't without ancestor's call. But malyrogue is still playable, and is even better than before!
What we lose from nerfs/standart: oil and blade flurry. Oil wasn't good in this type of deck anyway, and I never was a flurry because without poison it's a dead draw (tho it AoE'd everything with maly, that's true).
What we got: slower meta, runic egg and raptor. Cycle is what makes the deck faster.
Right now, deck draws like crazy, slows down opponent and kills him really fast. I did lots of t8 non-OTK kills and it's possible to make t8 full OTK in theory with double Preparation (tho I did 26 damage maximum).
Have you tried similar decks in rogue? Post your variant of the deck here, discuss card that can be added or removed.
With the addition of Barnes your deck would be better without loosing the essence of the deck.
Now, that's a good idea. When I make the deck, I had si7 agents too, and I dismissed the card for being too RNG. But when I think about it now, it's just straight out better than Raptor, because good RNG (maly, emperor) would be insane, and avarage RNG is a card draw, only bad outcome is oracle.
I've got 3 decks running Maly in them atm (Hunter, Druid and Rogue) so I'm feeling your Maly love! My Rogue is a lot closer to the classic build with Gadgetzans for card draw, but I'm using Barnes and he's worth it for the few times you pull the Emperor.
I'm also testing an Arcane Mill Rogue so your approach here with the Coldlights/Shadowstep/Vanishes is right up my alley - gonna give it a try!
Actually I saw trump trying a malyrogue with barnes and gadgetzans with big success drawing thaurissan or a gadgetzan with barnes is quite a great deal and game winning.. malygos is also a big draw from barnes of course!

It's just for draw tho. Mill is never a wincondition here, since I draw lot more.
Vanish is an AoE to survive aggro decks. Play it like this: PreparationVanishDoomsayer (to win next turn) -- 5 mana. Or just emperor afterwards if I have pieces and mana.
Malygos is probably one of my fav cards of all time. He's just awesome. Right now I'm running 2 decks with Maly - Maly Freeze Mage and Miracle Maly.
OP - I really like the deck you posted. I'm going to give it a try for sure. Coldlight Oracle is right up there ito of the coolest cards in the game.
Here's the Rogue list I'm running. It's quite different to the one you posted but I really like it. It has OTK potential but it can also just beat people down if your draws suck. Some notes added next to the not so common card choices...
2 x Backstab
2 x Prep
2 x Sinister Strike
2 x Swashburgler - regardless of what you get from him, the option of playing something on turn one is great. Lose so much tempo by t1 pass, t2 dagger.
1 x Thalnos
2 x Eviscerate
2 x Sap
1 x Shiv
1 x Edwin - was doubtful at first but he's won me quite a few games. No need to be too greedy with him, Priest just can't handle a 4/4!
2 x Fan of Knives
1 x Shadow Strike
2 x SI: 7 Agent
1 x Barnes - tbc. Awesome sometimes, rubbish sometimes. Might try something more consistent.
There is a mircale druid running around right now. Arcane giants, gadgetzan, moonfire, malygos. It's pretty sweet! Imo, Maly rogue is worse than maly druid and maly mage, simply because Rogue uses its face to control de board, taking a alot of damage doing so... If you plan on running Barnes, I would really build the deck around him and cut things that do nothing. Unfortunately that implies cutting Doomsayers.
I've been having great success and fun with this maly mage deck of mine. Barnes can get pretty broken in this shell, only two so so hits are Azure Drakes.
No offence, but that list is pure poop. You don't even have an activator for runic egg, which is only played in some weird aggro rogue, you have 0 early game outside of a 2/1 minion, you have 1 backstab, one of the strongest cards to stop aggro, the one archetype you struggle against, you have no si7, no pillagers, the absolute strongest minions rogue have. I won't even go on.
how do you even pop your eggs?, i'm having success with runic eggs in Druid (standard egg druid) and to a lesser extent Warrior (whatever whirlwindy/ wild pyromancy build i make) because those classes have a lot of egg activators..but rogue?? how do you even pop those things?, yeah a doomsayer play may be able to pop them, but a naked doomsayer is not exactly the hardest thingto remove.

According to this forum, every deck but weird ones are boring
Because miracle is just better and stronger.

I would love to play it, but I can't survive unto there.
My magic will tear you apart!

But seriously, search around for miracle druid, it looks pretty awesome to say the least!
Last time I checked Malydruid was a very strong thing.
Yeah, people stopped playing Malygos. That's why theres Tier 1 Maly Yogg Druid.
