Malygos Dragon Priest

Introduction

I am Estlander#2491 from Europe.

I love Dragons. I love deep strategy play style and I love the feeling I get from OTK wins. This deck has them all included and it performs well against many other decks. It provides you lot of fun and good win rate …if you are able to master it ofc…

Main Strategy

Main strategy is to survive until you have combo pieces to finish you opponent. The main goal in early stage is to gain board control and to avoid the face damage with your taunts; luckily you have plenty of them. It is important to use dragon synergy effectively (to gain taunts) and to use any card draw possibilities effectively to gather the combo pieces. As this deck is well balanced, it all should not be very difficult unless you are really unlucky with your draws. You should not be greedy then selecting minions from discovery of Museum Curator, the minion that provides you the best survivability following turns is 99 % the right one.

If you already have a board control or you are not able to make any reasonable trade then you should go face. Generally you should try to get your opponent below 20 health with your minions (except Reno & Demonlock decks there you should keep it around 20). It is not rare that you win without using any combos, as this deck provides good early game minions and decent mid game minions. It is OK to waste one Holy Smite for good minion trade if needed, but normally I try to save it for OTK win.

Twilight Whelp – you should play it during first couple of turns of game with dragon synergy. Otherwise consider keeping it in hand as dragon activator until you draw Malygos.

Sen'jin Shieldmasta – then the meta slows down you should consider replacing one or both with Blackwing Corruptor. For aggressive meta the Sen'jin Shieldmasta is even better than Sludge Belcher, cause you can play it earlier.

Combo strategy

Why this deck has both – Prophet Velen and Malygos? It has both of them because against other combo or control decks you can’t wait forever to gain one into your hand. If you have both of them in your hand, then you may just play Prophet Velen as strong 7 or later turn minion (and gain extra healing), or use them both for two turn combo craziest spell damage of this game (14 damage to all enemies just from Holy Nova).

For OTK win you should look for the following cards: Holy Smite x2, Mind Blast x2, Emperor Thaurissan, Prophet Velen and/or Malygos. How many combo pieces you actually need to win a game depends on how much health your opponent has.

Always use combo for fatal damage (except against freeze-mage)!
