Malygos Warlock

Double Legend proof

Hi Everyone,

This is my take on Malylock. The Main build of the deck is nothing super original, but I think my version is quite well rounded and it worked pretty well for me.

How the deck works

You want to

a) Survive

b) Summon Demons and kill your oponnent with them

c) Draw a bunch of burn spells and reduce them with Emperor Thaurissan, so you can combo them with Malygos for huge amounts of bursts.

Mostly the deck does some combination of these 3 things.

It is very similar to Cubelock, but instead of Cubes you have Malygos. The advantage of that strategy is that it goes through taunt and that it can work as a full otk, if you have enough time to gather all combo pieces and reduce them.

Usually however Malygos is only needed for one or two Spells if at all, since the Doomguards apply a lot of pressure on their own.

Card Choices

So there are a bunch of cards in this list that you don't find in every Warlock deck or that might not be obvious and I want to shortly explain their purpose

a) Twisting Nether: If you go for a Malygos gameplan, you will need time and you will need a turn to set up your Emperor Thaurissan. Twisting Nether + Doomsayer is ideal for that

b) Skull of the Man'ari: I really like it in this deck. it saves deck slots compared to Possessed Lackey and it frees up your hand very nicely, which works well with your gameplan of drawing, drawing and drawing.

c) Prince Taldaram: Is not unusual in Warlock lists at all but has some extra upsides in this deck. You can use him with Emperor Thaurissan and with Malygos

Combos

a) Easy Combo: Malygos + 2x Darkbomb + Soulfire = 25 dmg (one Emperor tick needed)

b) Full OTK combo: Malygos + 2x Darkbomb + Hellfire + Soulfire = 33 dmg (two Emperor ticks neede, which is pretty doable with Prince Taldaram)

c) Not obvious Combo: Malygos + Prince Taldaram + Soulfire (one Emperor Tick needed)

You can add a Second Soulfire for the extra burst combo, but I think it fits better in a different list that is more dedicated to the Malygos combo.

Have Fun :)
