What are you talking about, "disenchanting a golden millhouse manastorm"?! You see them glorious flames, and magnificent waving facial hair? That's a quality card if there ever was one... you know there are children in Africa that would love nothing more than a golden Millhouse!
On a more serious note, I feel Al'Akir is the better legendary, and overall more viable. Put another way, it's actually a good card. Malygos being a neutral, I guess there are more decks you can put it in, but any of those decks will probably be as you said, for fun. So with my expert guidance (you should wait for someone else to answer) I would put it as:
Malygos = Fun
Al'Akir = Try-Hard More serious for 'professional' deck(s)
I main Shadow and I love it, but I would strongly suggest to play against this deck to see how it works and if you really like it, then go for it. The cost is indeed to steep and it's a fun deck, but I find it really rewarding. If you want to play against A Shadow Priest (not the one you posted, sadly I don't have Alexstraza) you can always add me if you play in EU.
Neither are very good cards imo. Al'kir is decent in Shaman (though I am not impressed), and Malygos is for 'fun' decks mostly (like Shadow Priest). So unless you already have all the good neutral Legendaries (Rag, Leeroy, Thalnos etc.), you should think twice before spending all your dust.
That shadow priest deck shouldnt even have malygos in it man. Why would you ever use malygos in a priest deck when velen can combo mindblast for the same amount of damage in 1 turn vs 2 turns. Plus Velen makes Holy nova and Holy Fire more effective because it doubles the healing as well as the damage. So if your thinking about crafting malygos just to use in this shadow priest deck don't. I play a shadow priest from time to time at ranks 4-5 i have over a 50% win rate and dont run malygos, Velen is more than enough. Al akir on the other hand has become a standard in 90% of shaman decks it may have been previously underused but now it is used in almost every shaman deck. He is a great finisher and also great as just a board clearer.
If you rely on a combo in a deck without Miracle drawing power, it is better to have 2 cards than 1 to enable it. Plus, Malygos is dropped the turn before Velen to draw removal. If he survives, the combo goes for 20 damage, if he doesn't, then Velen generally has more chances of survivng (unless BGH).
When I play I don't completely rely on the combo for the win, it just seems that in a shoadow priest its already a very crowded deck and adding malygos in addition to rag, and alex whicho both I do run, just makes it too top heavy.

I really want to try out this shadowpriest deck for fun, but it might end up biting me in the ass...the only card I need is malygos

Credit to Rolo for the deck.
I also really want the shaman legendary so I can try out the al akir double rockbiter nonsense I've been hearing about.
To get the dust, I will be disenchanting a golden millhouse manastorm I just opened!

Do you already have Rag, Leeroy, Thalnos, BK, Silvanas, etc?
