Hoot Hoot, You're Dead

So you might be thinking, why is this archetype labeled as Malygos Druid when it doesn't contain Malygos?!  Because I didn't know what else to label it as.  It's similar in nature, it's a Spell Damage combo Druid deck using some very convenient card costs to make drawing our combo pieces slightly easier.

The Combo includes some familiar faces of [Hearthstone Card (kun, the Forgotten king) Not Found], OG {card]aviana, and to a lesser extent... Ancient Mage.  Let me explain it all first before you question my choice...

The deck also has Freya, Keeper of Nature and [Hearthstone Card (Owlonious) Not Found] to round out the only 10, 9, 8, and 7 cost minions for you to draw with Juicy Psychmelon.  What else do you need?  Maybe two damage spells, or one and a Solar Eclipse.  It all kind of depends on your hand space, position of cards, and enemy health.  If you can use Freya to copy Owlonious and a few damage spells you might be set as two Owls will make your spell damage +8 after the effect stacks.  If you can also copy Ancient Mage or Bloodmage Thalnos, you're probably also okay.  Because not only does Owlonious give you double the spell damage, Moonbeam doubles it further by doing 1 damage twice.  

Nature spells are limited to Eclipse, Invigorate, and one copy of Melon to make Widowbloom Seedsman more consistent.  Capture Coldtooth Mine is versitile to either pull a combo piece, or to pull Wildheart Guff after you've shown the enemy your Melon, or to draw cards on the low end, like Moonbeam if your two Aquatic Form copies are gone.  I even used Eclipse into Mine to draw the two remaining combo minions from the deck.

Honest Review

The deck is really fun, but might not be meta in its current state. Small sample size but I'm 4-4 so far.  Straight up aggro can be hard, but if you get some armor gain and your swipes, which can easily be expended for removal and not saved until the end, you might have a chance.  Combo disruption like a simple Dirty Rat can absolutely lose you the game.  But when you hit someone with a Moonbeam that does 25 damage twice, while still holding another 150+ damage in hand... it feels so good!

The Ancient Mage

Yes, this is a weird choice!  Certainly there are a lot of other options that would make more sense.  Such as: playing any other deck!  But where is the fun in that?  I personally enjoy slapping down two of these bad boys after Freya, because his voiceline is "Sometimes, I forget things!"  Just like I'm sure my opponents forgot he was a card!
