So far, I've had 5 people cast Bane of Doom against me, they got: 1 Mistress of Pain, 1 Mal'Ganis and 3 Doomguards. Now I see why Blizzard wouldn't change it.
Most malygos decks won't drop Malygos until after a twisting nether or Sludge Belcher.
Ummm... Wat?
Twisting Nether is rarely run. And if they have enough minions to kill your Malygos, they're gonna have enough minions to kill your Sludge Belcher and likely still kill your Malygos. Malygos is rarely ever removed by minions alone, anyways.
Perhaps OTK decks are unconventional, and perhaps they're not as viable as the current meta decks, but there's a reason everyone talks about them, especially now that Emperor Thaurissan is out.
Yeah, it managed to kill the opponent the turn of...rarely. You are highly unlikely to have double Soulfire + Malygos in hand And if they have enough minions to kill Sludge Belcher, Great! They just saved you the trouble of running at least 2 of their minions into a taunt rather than face or Malygos No duh Twisting Nether is rarely run, it's there to clean hourse b4 a crucial 9 mana drop. It's just a cheaper Deathwing that won't empty your hand If you don't run reliable board clear, it's no wonder you cannot keep Malygos more than that 1 turn.
Guys, Bane of Doom is REALLY strong now. Half the time I summon something that is Pit Lord or better, several Lord Jaraxxus had won me games, it's insane now!!!

Card says "random demon." Not "random demon from the basic and classic sets excluding Lord Jaraxxus and Illidan Stormrage," like I'm pretty sure the card used to work. Glad they finally changed the card.
Who else de'd the card a long time ago and is now kind of hating himself: Just saw the new Kolento Zoo with Bane and I really, really could punch myself now!
I've been running two and so far it has been entirely worth it and won entire games. 3x Mal'Ganis from it, a few Doomguards, even a Succubus is worth it. Mathematically it is a bit of a toss-up as far as value is concerned but in practice it has been solid in my experience after the change.

There was a deck that got to legend in GvG that ran Malygos and often managed to kill the opponent the turn it was played--before Emperor Thaurissan came out. http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/79447-blade-malygos-legend

I think the class with the easiest draw power can manage to get three cards in hand. After all, people still run the Arcane Golem + 2 Power Overwhelming + Faceless Manipulator combo.
Most aren't counting on the 2nd Power Overwhelming
And there are two Faceless Manipulator while only 1 Malygos
