Our guide to climbing the ladder with Malygos Rogue in the Ashes of Outland meta.

MalygosRogue is a deck that seeks to gather plenty of spell damage cards together, get the titularMalygoscard in-hand as well, and then use its devastating damage-boosting effect to obliterate the opponent’s health pool.Galakrond, the Nightmareplays a strong role inMalygosRogue this time around, as we’ll show you

In our firstMalygosRogue update for the new meta you’ll find a theorycrafted deck list and an overview of the strategy involved in played it - expect big updates for that section once the expansion is under way.

MalygosRogue tips, combos and synergies

MalygosRogue is not an easy deck for new players, and it’s vital you always keep track of your maths to see just how close you are to lethal damage. To help you get on top of all that, here’s a look at all of the core synergies available in this collection of cards.

  • CastingPreparationmeans the next spell you cast on the same turn will cost 2 mana less. This is important both because it reduces the likes ofEviscerateto 0 mana, but it also sets you up for a solidKael’thas Sunstriderproc, reducing another spell to 0 mana.

-Eviscerateand Sinster Strike are powerful parts of your game-endingMalygosturn, so calculate your damage potential carefully at all times. Play a card beforeEviscerateif possible to get that bonus Combo damage.

-Umbral Skulkercan give you Coins for the future, allowing you to spend more than 10 mana on your later turns. Make sure you don’t have 10 mana crystals when you play a Coin though - you can never have 11/10 mana.

  • When planning your damage output, keep in mind that all spells become five damage more powerful whenMalygosis out on the board. If you have more than oneMalygosin play, that damage boost stacks!
