I started to play HS during beta. I instantly fell in love with the Rogue class and played tempo for a long time, until I saw Kolento play Miracle Rogue.
That was just so cool back then. The original point was not to deal 35 damage with Leeroy Jenkins, Cold Blood and Shadowstep, but to draw a lot of cards with Gadgetzan Auctioneer and then makine a HUUUUGE Edwin VanCleef with Conceal.
The deck evolved because everybody adapted to it and it became the OTK thing we all remember. But I didn't like Leeroy so I wanted to test something new.
I opened a Malygos in a pack. Loved the art, love the dragon, love the effect. I put him instead of Leeroy Jenkins in my Miracle Rogue, but did not work so well. I was kinda disappointed ...
Then Naxxramas came out with the Leeroy nerf. And a few weeks after, the Malygod (Atak's Elegance) deck appeared.
I did not think about the double Blade Flurry (yes, Blade Flurry was only a one-of back then) and the Sinister Strike. Loatheb and Sludge Belcher helped to stall the game for the final blow.
He is how Malyrogue was born. I'm playing it since a year (August 2014) and never stopped, I love this deck so much. I changed a lot of things during this time (meta changes, Gadget nerf, GvG and BRM) but the core is still the same.
That's why this is my favorite deck. But I loved Miracle and Tempo too.
And I really liked Sparkaz' Legendeath too. That's the type of deck I was expecting TGT to bring us.
Unfortunately, we're stuck with Oil for a long time ...

Yes, COC (and all healing spells) is affected by +spell damage with Soulpriest on the board.

Destroyer of Worlds

Not my creation but I thought this was cool when I first saw it. Maybe a smaller variant of Earth elementals might be less OP, a board full of 7/8 taunts would be too ridiculous.

My next craft. It's not a flashy card but *so* useful.
