Legend Malygos Druid - You Need to Play This Deck! Ft. Guide From StanCifka
StanCifka hit Legend this month purely through the use of Malygos Druid with a 75% win-rate. It isn't the easiest deck in the world to play, but oh boy is it fun!
Malygos Druid has always been one of those archetypes that players dreamed of making work extremely well and I'm personally glad we're finally at a moment where one of the most fun combo cards in the game is reliable! I know not everyone shares that sentiment though, so for those, I'm sorry! Let's take a look at the deck itself, some words from StanCifka, and a video showcasing gameplay of this deck.
Be sure to also check out the full guide.

The Deck
Hello Hearthpwn! There was a high demand for the deck guide of Malygos Druid that I achieved Legend Rank1 with immediately on the first date, so here it is! I had over 75 % win-rate in 41 games to get it (and immediately jumped from normal rank1 to that Legend rank1 because of high mmr created by this winrate), but deck is quite hard to pilot, so prepare to struggle just a bit with it before you master it and start crushing.
One of the players I would like to shout out is Fenomeno, one of the best players in the world that I am sure you all know. He is the guy from where I saw that they cut Oaken Summons and Ironwood Golem, which gives you 4 extra slots to work with and helps you quite a bit with combo.

This deck is a total rubbish and the fact that you highlight it and recommend it to anyone is ridiculous
I played one and deathgripped his Malygos. It was glorious.
When the win condition is in one card twig the oozed pogchamp
One of the worst deck to spotlight honestly.
Has anyone tried running the twig and the quest?
Yep, it used to be cool for a while, but it got hurt by Corridor Creeper nerf, and Medivh, the Guardian leaving out. For me it’s too slow now even in casual mode.
I have been climbing in the 5 to Legend range with Druid Quest Maly (Win % last season was >50)
No Twig
I play Ixlid. If you get unlucky and pull both Ixlid and Maly pre-quest then no chance against high armor control decks, but otherwise it works.
I play six 5-attack minions (2 Cursed Disciples, Harrison, 2 Fatespinner, 1 Muck Hunter)
do you use faceless? I might add a muck hunter because I've had trouble getting the quest off recently
two faceless
they help complete quest if drawn early or add to the Maly shenanigans like Ixlid with six golden Maly's
You are absolutly right i encounered it with both quest warri and big spell elem mage having +15(mage) +25(on warrior) armor the problem with this deck is that it does very minimal damage beside the otk as i seee... and the otk rarly goes past 40 (11+11+14)
So adorable, Super cute.
You can have fun if you have all cards and you can build decks like this. Otherwise don't even try. A man can do no more than he can.
a man can do more than tautologies!
I only need 11k dust to play this. I should definitely try it
In cards that are going to be rotated out on the next expac.
While Thalnos is probably the best Legendary in the game...
you can try Tainted Zealot
"Thalnos is probably the best Legendary in the game..."
Who's your dealer? ;)
With all the respect to Stancifka as a player, but i do not recommend this deck at all right now. Especially not, if you have to craft the Twig of the World Tree.
I'm a regular viewer of Stancifka, but this deck is UNPlAYABLE on Europe, i think.
Every deck runs weapon removal. 9 out of 9 games, i faced weapon hate on Rank 3.
If it's not enough the most played class is Druid right now, which will have like 40 armor (and max health) by endgame, due to the fact you have absolute ZERO pressure as a Combo Deck.
This deck requires GOD DRAWs to be consistent, for example:
Against Control you need : Ramp > Ramp > Twig > Defense > Removals) , meanwhile against aggro : Ramp > Removal > Removal > Twig > Ramp > Survive.
Even if you managed to ramp fast, but you don't draw Ultimate Infestation, you will likely lose.
He played this on Asia today, he is 2-3 with it at the moment. One of his game was like
Turn 2: He topdeck Wild Growth
Turn 3: He topdeck Twig of the World Tree
Turn 5: He topdeck Spreading Plague
He would have lost the game on spot without Spreading Plague.
The decks have no other win condition but OTK. Stancifka said you can win by "The Lich King value or Spreading Plague into Branching Paths" .
That's true, the chance that a single The Lich King will win you the game is negligible, the other Combo requires you, to lose the board first or you have to play Token Druid.
Now that this Deck has it's own POST on the most read Hearthstone website. I think even more people will use weapon removal or just counter-decks.
I personally think, the Quest version is better right now, if you want to play OTK anyways. You can achieve the combo faster, not to mention you are not punished by weapon removals.
well all decks can reach you legend in 9 hours :O
I really feel that the quest version with twig as a back up is just better. I used it from 5k to 800 legend last month which proves it’s pretty consistent.
Also so if I were to run this version then I would definitely use Alexstrasa to account for the lack of burst this deck often has.
