This card basically jumps onto the battlefield if you happen to play the coin while this card is in your hand. This is actually quite easy for Rogue to do, as there are several cards that add the Coin to your hand. For example, Tomb Pillager and Cutpurse can both add the Coin to your hand. This can be a great turn 1 play, if you got lucky enough to get BOTH the Coin and this card, however it can be removed via a large amount of common removal, such as BGH, Darkbomb, and Wrath. This makes the card balanced for its value that it can put out. GL to everyone!
Ok so I've been playing this deck for little while now, and I can say that I absolutely love it. However, I have a couple questions about the deck. First, is there a replacement for Mal'Ganis? I literally have everything except him. Secondly, I currently have a whole bunch of cards I think are viable but I'm not sure to be honest. What do you think of: Anima Golem, Kel'Thuzad, Void Terror, and Reliquary Seeker? Thanks in advance!
"You attacked a guy 3 times your size with nothing but an axe. What did you expect to happen?"
Basically Fireball, but one less damage due to the fact that the cost is put off until next turn. The idea of this card is whack first, consequences later.
I felt like warlock needed some spell damage synergy, so here we are!
Explanation
This card essentially turns all minions with Spell damage into a mini Malygos, with Spell damage +3 on most minions, Spell damage +4 for Jungle Moonkin, and a whopping Spell damage +7 for Malygos!
How difficult is it to remove?
This card actually is quite hard to remove, with a hefty 8 health and 4 attack, which makes it immune to BGH, SW Pain and SW Death. This allows an easy follow up into any spell damage minions next turn, possibly leading to an OTK!
Combos
Several OTKs can be pulled out of this card, such as playing Kobold Geomancer/Bloodmage Thalnos. Malygos can follow this card to add an insane amount of burst through Darkbomb/Soulfire. Even Mortal Coil can be used to eliminate big threats, while getting a card out of it! I always thought Malylock needed that extra little push to become meta, and I hope this card does it!
Here's my entry for the weekly card design competition:
The idea of this card is to provide Warlock with a method of late game control, which Warlock currently lacks. The stats are slightly sub-par, which is fair in order to keep the card balanced due to their powerful effect, but strong enough to make up the difficulty of achieving the effect. The general effect of both cards is: When one is in the hand and the other is summoned, the following card is created:
This card is obviously better than any 6 drop, but due to the difficulty of summoning, the stats are worth it. The idea I had for the mechanics of this card is that Dark Blade's attack is the normal attack value of this card (7 attack) while Shadow Drake's attack would be it's effect (5 damage). The idea of having two characters attack through a single card inspired me, so I came up with this card. Note that Dark Blade, Dragon Knight says deal 5 damage to another enemy minion, meaning that the target of the attack can not be hit.
Thanks for looking at my card, and good luck to everyone in the competition!
You are a god. 8-1 with this deck and still going strong. I have only made a minor change with a Piloted Shredder instead of Unbound Elemental, but this deck absolutely wrecks. +1 m8.
I'm temped to run a whole deck of cheap battlecry minions and this guy for lols. This actually seems like a decent card, considering the amount of battlecry minions there are.
I find that double Smite alone is good enough to serve as a finisher for Malygos Priest. Other legendaries like Ysera or Nefarian don't achieve the crazy instant value, and by the time you pull Alexstraza, your opponent will already be around 15. Even if you only fire off one Smite, 7 damage is still quite a lot. If you really don't feel that Malygos will work, you can go ahead and replace him with Ysera or Nefarian. But personally, I've used this deck ever since TGT came out and I've hit Rank 12 with it.

What do you guys think of my card? New Control Hunter meta guys? Balancing?

"You're the only one who understands me." Rexxar said tearfully to Misha, as they tore apart their enemies.
And this is how control Hunter will be born. Goodbye, Smorc. Hello, Animal Compassion. Also, the pun is unbearable.

Pulled Lord Juraxxus crafted Dreadsteed, and BOOM. Instantly my new favorite deck. +1 for sure.

I'm currently at 6-0 on the ladder with this deck. Ill make updates as I go along.

Another Stormforged Axe will work. However, just remember you're losing a lot of burst with replacing a part of the Doomhammer/Rockbiter Weapon combo.

Great Deck! Love the burst that comes with all the AOE buffs. Turn 5-6 wins too OP.

Thumbs up for coming up with such a cool deck. Better than other otk decks cause you don't need to hold all the combo peices in your hand!
