Maly Druid [Ashes of Outland, Standard)

Experimental Maly deck. Main concept is to discount either Maly or Kael’thas via the satyr, bringing their total costs to 10. Note: the satyr discounts minions before you draw for your turn, so it is easier to plan out than expected. 

Main win condition:

Play Maly and Kael’thas for 10, play two 0-cost spells to get a free germination on Maly, then play both moonfires and a free swipe for 11+11+14 = 36 damage. 

Other win conditions:

– Just by having two Malygos, one with taunt, sometimes the opponent can’t answer both and you win the next turn with all the card draw. 

– A 4-cost Malygos, two innervate, germination, and then swipe/moon/moon (no Kael’thas required)

– Jepetto Joybuzz to bypass the satyr. But even if you draw a satyr, chances are you already have Kael’thas or Maly in hand anyway so you still get the discount. 

My biggest issue so far is that the OTK combo requires 8 cards in hand, two of which have to be 0-cost and not moonfire. Sometimes I get to the combo but then I can’t get my free swipe, or only have one moonfire 🙁

With all the card draw, I may play with adding Zephrys or Elise, though Idk how that would play out. 

Lessons learned include:

– (2) overflow mills more often than not

– rising winds is good for card draw early, but not great if your hand is already full late game due to twinspell effect.
