    Maly Druid should wreck shudderwock once new cards come out.  I think its a greedy deck as well so a strong midrange mech deck will also be strong vs it.

    The only chance this deck doesn't get out of control is if aggro/midrange can contain its winrate because it is going to trash every other slow deck. A deck like ramp druid will also probably be good against this deck as it will be able to start dropping huge threats really early.    I think you can safely remove most of the minions currently in Maly Druid (LK, Alex, Tyrant) as they no longer are part of the gameplan and you can keep most of your defensive options in the deck and just cycle until you can kill your opponent.  There is also absolutely no reason to play twig anymore, as you will have lots of huge burst damage possibilities without needing it.

    This deck could potentially push most slow decks right out of the meta like how raza priest did.  But who knows, the meta is always super unpredictable.  I'm just saying if aggro DOESNT stomp this deck (which it doesnt right now vs Maly Druid) its going to be pretty broken.  Regardless of how it eventually does turn out, I plan to abuse it for the first week or so of the new expansion as the first few days you can get away with pretty much anything

    I know that nothing is really predictable in regards to what is ACTUALLY going to happen in an expansion release regarding the meta, but does anyone else see the potential for Malygos Druid to become to most broken deck in a long time?  Let's look at some comparisons of how Maly Druid works now vs. how it could potentially work with new boomsday cards.

    First of all, I think this deck now looks to add cards such as Biology Project, Flobbidinous Floop, Juicy Psychmelon, and Dreampetal Florist to its arsenal.  I think the deck's new mechanics could also allow Drakkari Enchanter to be added.  I'm not entirely sure which cards will drop but off the top of my head I see The Lich King, Alexstrasza, Twig of the World Tree, Innervate and both Arcane Tyrant as being unnecessary in this deck once the new card pool becomes available.  Possibly even one Ultimate Infestation but I'm not sure.  Currently, Alex is often needed for a multi turn kill and Lich King provides pressure on slow decks and can sometimes be defensive against aggro if they can't silence or kill him (which is quite unlikely) and tyrant is generally used for the same purpose or just to dump after UI so you dont overdraw.  Now, these things become pointless in the deck as its new mechanics will make it a very consistant OTK deck that as of now will require your opponent to kill you or eventually almost always die.

    Boomsday Maly Druid will be a complete cycle/stay alive/kill deck similar to how raza priest operated.  Biology will allow you to ramp ridiculously fast so that once you opponent is able to actually start snowballing the board, you can just spreading plague or other nonsense to lock them out for a few turns.  While this combo will take a lot of cards, psychometric allows you to have Maly in hand almost guaranteed by the time you are ready to combo.  The only minions this deck needs are Maly, Floop, 1 drakkari, and 1-2 florist (for consistency perhaps) and possibly a faceless though thats debatable.  Playing drakkari enchanter and florist will reduce the cost of TWO cards by 7, so with maly and floop in hand you now have them at 2/0 mana respectively.  So you can follow up the next turn with maly/floop/swipe/swipe/moonfire/moonfire for 50 damage.  Goodnight, sweet prince.  You can also have less "efficient" combos such as florist without drakkari which still allows you to play maly/floop (or faceless) regardless of who gets reduced and double moonfire for 22 dmg from hand.  You can also just play Maly with swipe/swipe/moonfire/moonfire for a cool 30 damage.  The ridiculous ramp/cycle this deck has will often allow the combo to be pulled off quite early too.

    I actually love this deck right now, and I am sure I will indulgent in this ridiculousness but at the same time it might just ruin the game if this deck gets totally out of hand.  Some matchups that are questionable right now will become stupidly easy.  Maly Druid will be like 90/10 against decks like shudderwock and BSM as they will have 0 chance to kill you before you OTK unless some new dirty rat type card comes out.  It's already strong against aggro, and now you will be able to do things like Maly/swipe to clear huge boards and easily stabilize early.  Perhaps some midrange mech synergy deck will rise to power to keep this deck in check but even then I'm not sure thats enough.  I'm excited and scared at the same time for this lol, what does anyone else think?
