So yesterday I opened Malygos :), but now I am trying to build a deck with him. I have seen Malygos Rogue work, and considering I have a lot of good rogue cards I tried to make a Malygos Rogue deck. However, it just does not work for me. I always lack removal when I need it, or lack minions when I need them. I have posted my deck below, what do you guys think? Can I make this work?
There are a few problems with malyrogue in standard
All meta decks right now have a favorable matchup vs maly rogue. aggro and midrange have to much pressure and kill malyrogue to fast and controldecks have to much heal and always aim to hover between 20 and 30 health.
Another problem is that Malygos is hard to setup and doesnt deal enough damage. without Emperor Thaurissan from wild most malydecks got really bad because maly cost 9 and cant combo with as many spells.
some possible changes to make the deck more consistant
Maybe consider the deathknight to get more removal and value lategame
maybe remove Kobold Illusionist for another defensive tool since you have to many minions to make it consistant or do the opposite and remove Loot Hoarder, Plated Beetle and ad some more spells
I do have to say that I would have won against Cubelock if the deck had Valeera the Hollow in it, Eviscerate and Sinister Strike twice deals 28 damage, which should be more to make the combo consistent.
go full meme and aim for umbra > illusionist > maly pull > backstab illusionst > strike/strike/prep/evisc
honestly though, maly quest druid is probably a lot better right now than malyrogue. you have superior draw, superior anti-aggro tools, and superior damage output.

Could also consider Sprint vs Gadgetzan Auctioneer as draw engine
How is your collection looking like?
i will play around with it and maybe come up with some more solutions
Thank you! I will consider putting Gadgetzan Auctioneer in. The combo should look like Kobold Illusionist+Bloodmage Thalnos+Backstab so you pull out Malygos. At least that is what I have seen. \
