After the TGT update the list does not contain any Zombie Chows any more, though the guide itself refers to at least one copy of it.

What do you say: Is Chow needed as an answer to early aggression or will Twilight Guardian and Refreshment Vendor suffice?

It always felt a little bit awkward to play Chow in the first place: It kind of gives away that I am playing a Malygos deck and no Handlock, so it would actually be nice, if I could replace it with something less suspicious ...

Mhm, but as I think of it: Turn 4 or 5 the latest my opponent would realize that I am no Handlock ...

I don't understand, why the abusive sergant? Is it because of shadowflame?

Abusive seargent is for shadow flame, helping imp gang boss and imps and maybe even twilight guardian more efficiently trade with minions, plus a possible another body to trade with a 3/2 or 4/2 aggro.

Abusive Sergeant is a very early body against aggressive decks, he helps trade up, makes Shadowflame bigger AND helps Big Game Hunter by buffing minions with 5 or 6 attack power into kill range, e. g. Loatheb or Thaurissan.

So I was toying around with the notion of adding Chillmaw to this deck, thoughts

Any strategies or card substitutions for dealing with Paladin Secrets decks and Face Hunters? It seems like making proactive plays against either kind of deck can be next to impossible and that each time I tap I'm just putting myself one turn closer to losing.

You just have to try and tap as little as possible and play out your curve. The deck is capable of doing that, but as with any deck, it has its rough matchups.

This deck gets destroyed in ranked, facehunters thank you every time you lifetap, and control pallys and mages shit down your throat..not to mention other warlock decks demolish this one in aggressiveness. Having much better luck with midrange shaman/pally and discard zoolock...guess malygos warlock just cant cut it right now.

I am using this deck, just have Rend in place of one BGH and i have just lost my 12th game in a ROW. I have been following the strategy to the letter, and even with the best possible mulligan i lost every game. Ever game i play is against some type of face deck with massive aggression, or superior minion trade, and i am only rank 18....

"Superior minion trade" surprises me. This deck can get punished by the outright aggression of something like Face Hunter, but in terms of board competition, it's one of the most efficient decks in the game. Things like Implosion, Blackwing, Twilight Guardians etc are just such efficient cards compared to what other people can play.

If your opponent can keep pace with your minion trading and are playing control, they will have a hard removal for malygos(The odds of you getting malygos and your win condition spells all at once combined with thaurisan are very low), if you are playing aggainst an aggressive deck by the time malygos is out you will be at around 8 health...not too good for a deck i had such high hopes for, and the removal is counterproductive when you end up getting milled and your opponent has more  minions left over after youve exhausted your entire deck in the most efficient way possible, took me from rank 13 to 16 because i was excited when i got my second legendary that had a deck on icy....feels bad man sad.png

It's made clear in the guide that Malygos is just a bonus win condition, it's not something that you have to rely on, especially against aggressive tempo decks. I'm still really surprised that you feel like you're losing on card for card value. Feel free to post up a video of an example game if you can, i'd love to see it.

Did anyone reach rank Legend with this deck?

 

Strifecro did with one or two cards different Malylock.

      Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work.
      If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here.

       
      What a way to kick things off; this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board.
      In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between.
      Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first.

      Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman.
      We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:
      All the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available. Beware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Windfury minions will only attack. Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after.
      There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru.

      That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop.

      This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck.
      We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.
      First, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. The departure of the Knights of the Frozen Throne set will make evolving 10 drops better again now that there are no more Snowfury Giants in the Evolve pool, and we get to re-roll for the generally better bodies from the 10 costs. We’re adding in some early-game removal to compensate for the lack of early drops so we can better survive the early game.

      Next, let’s try to use the standard Renathal Control Shaman archetype that’s doing rather well in the meta as a starting point. One safe idea is to look at slotting Overlord Drakuru and potentially Brightblood Berskerker and From De Other Side into this standard XL Renathal Control Shaman as ways of fighting back on board while getting your infuse cards stacked up.

      We could instead also try and drop all the duplicates from the list and convert it into a Reno deck, as the deck was already playing a lot of one-offs. That gives us just enough room for one of each of these bad boys, which together with Reno will up the turnaround potential of the deck at the cost of a little bit of consistency. Doing so we can end up with this list:

      Why not use both and make it a Reno-thal deck? Prescience and Windchill will try to compensate for the loss of card draw from droping one copy of Gorloc Ravager and Famished fool. We are adding in Convincing Disguise to have still enough evolve effects around. The idea of including Bracing Cold and Far Sight is to hopefully discount From De Other Side or the evolve cards so we make use of any leftover bodies in the same turn. Ozumat’s in here not just to get us up to 40 cards, but because it’s a near guaranteed board clear combo with From De Other side, if you manage your hand and board space just right, that leaves you with all its appendages afterward.
