I'm finding the original decklist great except for two cards - Auctioneer - always useless - and Priest of the Feast - while being theoretically great, he's useless in control matchups where you don't need healing and vs aggro you just don't have enough cards/mana. It could be great vs combo, but too much has to line up for that. I'd gladly stick Thaurissan and Barnes instead - well, Thaurissan for sure, as for Barnes - not so much.
Very interesting list, you've just about inspired me to try to grind for Golden Priest in my little spare time - the only issue being that I lack Lightbomb, but I guess if I find that I really need it, I'll craft it. Thanks for the great guide! OTKing with Anduin feels incredible, only Malygos Rogue can compare to this level of satisfaction in my book :3
Malygos is a Classic legendary and if you close your eyes to Sylvanas/Ragnaros's fates he is just a good craft.
That being said, you often win through board presence and some spell damage paired with burn, and here even an Evolved Kobold is a good replacement. But if you want to OTK people, apart from some fringe cases (look up my previous replies in this thread), Malygos is the card that makes them possible.
Understood. It's just that usually in Maly lists there is SI and Shuriken is a comboless SI that can be affected by Spell Damage. And it's hard to waste Eviscerate to clear stuff when there is no backup burn that Shuriken can be.
Thanks for the guide! I was always missing some cards from decks like these, and since it's not the case here I think I'll try playing this one out, because I miss playing Mage and don't want to play Reno Mage in Standard.
Tried it. Not sure Mark of Nature alone can nail it. Thing is, aggro interacts with your board, so there is often times nothing worthwhile to slap MoN on. I also don't have Mulch but I assume you just don't always draw it to kill a 4 mana 7/7. Also Nourish is just so. damn. slow.
The pirate package is needed for deck thinning - Bloodsail Corsair is an anti-weapon tech and Patches does the thinning. You can replace this with Tracking and Ooze, or even Harrison if you are brave, but I don't like Tracking.
At first I thought it would be this deck: http://i.imgur.com/cGZwKRC.png (originally played by a Korean streamer LiveHigh to legend, with 2x Beneath the Grounds and no Betrayal), but this is something I've been pondering to try out myself. No Shaku, but Huckster should do the trick. Will try it out.
I didn't replace anything yet but imo you could take out Sap or Shiv. I didn't get to play much because I constantly queued into Warriors, one of which was control and I was ONE off lethal, and the others were the usual aggro bs.
Also one should consider swapping a Sap with a Shadow Strike. It can go face, if it's undamaged, might help vs Reno decks.
Why no Edwin? I played a lot of Maly Rogue in post-Karazhan meta, and Edwin was absolutely necessary for early wins, a chance vs an aggro deck, the like. For the reference, I used ShtanUdachi's list he used to get to rank 1 legend.
Wouldn't it be better to switch Big Time Racketeer to Kabal Courier? She gave me second Kazakus today in a Reno Priest mirror, he couldn't cope with the sheer value.

So, how did these tests go?

Plus this once happened to me: https://hsreplay.net/replay/FsLMpN9LXRJWWfhyX7KhZg

Any place for Jade Shuriken or do you usually manage to have enough burn to kill off the opponent?

Ethereal Conjurer cannot be crafted as it's an adventure card.

This deck is amazing! But a guide would be much appreciated.

Haven't had that much fun in a while now. Thanks so much!

You can't craft him anyway. You can only get him via purchasing the first wing of Blackrock Mountain.
