[Off Meta Legend] Malygos Warlock

Original Creator: Corbett

Fun / Off-Meta Cards: Malygos

Strategy: This deck uses the typical control demon shell to disguise an OTK finish that surprises many unsuspecting victims that are expecting the more traditional Mecha'thun or fatigue endgame. It's important to note here that oftentimes you do enough chip damage through the demon package that you can put your opponent in burn range. Dark Bomb x2 + Soulfire x2 + Bloodmage is 18 damage for 8 mana (without an Emperor tick).

Rankstar's meta snapshot notes this deck in a footnote but I actually believe this deck to be more powerful than the tier 2 Mecha'thun deck. It runs many of the same cards but is significantly faster in pulling off it's combo (though does not provide quite the same certainty as the mecha deathrattle.)

Update: Rise of Shadows (4/16) - no obvious inclusions from Rise of Shadows; potential to add Jepetto Joybuzz but the list is already very tight and has some negative synergies, but worth play testing.
