honestly. The other Dragons kept their flavors, so why change Malley to an almost useless card?!
If it were up to me (and yes, I know it’s not up to me)
I would do this:
Spell Damage +2 Battlecry: Discover a spell from this class.
Downside to the card as written.
You spend nine mana. You fill your hand with spells till your hand is full.
Unless you drew a one mana spell – when you had ten mana …
You are about to mill the next card in your deck.
Getting nine or ten spells for one milled card might be a good deal.
But there are decks where players take cyanide and cry bitter tears when the wrong card is milled.
This is THE Core Card that both Aggro and Tempo have been loving this whole time, especially for you have some Card Draw yourself, but it’s still not enough; Malygos will be your “Grand Finale” Of trying to draw out as much as you can. You can effectively think of Malygos as Octosari, expect you don’t burn 3-5 of your cards if you’re playing anything that isn’t aggro or tempo, so it’s nice for everyone to have. The only problem you need to have with Malygos is that you WILL Burn a card if you are a Midrange or a Control, so make you are ready to wait that you just so happen to burn that one card that you didn’t want to burn. But for the cost of allowing you to draw up to a total of 10 cards even (I’d say you’ll average draw about 3-5 cards if your Control, and 4-7 if your midrange, I’d say it’s pretty worth burning that one card, even if it might be that one that you DIDN’t want to burn. (Unless it’s C’thun cards, that would suck.)
Unlike Backfire, where you seem to not able to even use it unless you are Aggro, Malygos will be flexible by any means. And for that, I’m going to give it 4 stars. I almost gave it 5, I’m not gonna lie, but assuming that there are also hand decks out there, or You could even have a 9 mana Draw 1-2 from time to time, Malygos can get Clunky, for when you have cards that you just don’t want to play yet. For Aggro this isn’t a probably, but for a more Control oriented Deck, It is.
