Malcador Control Deck - May 2024 (Replays + Decklist)
0Horus Heresy Legions Ranked gameplay featuring Malcador the Sigilite himself from the Agents of the Sigilite.
Malcador has always been a warlord that caused a split in the community. A lot of people initially thought that generating Seals and looking at the enemy hand for 0E was way too strong, while others thought he was pretty awful given he was too slow in pretty much every aspect. With time passing Malcador failed to put up any kind of results whatsoever and people quickly forgot about him.
Today we are taking another look at Malcador! This deck is aimed at playing as few tactics in the deck as possible, to enable Command Bridge to ALWAYS show us a Seal, and cards like Council Informant and the Navigatus to have a very high chance of drawing a Seal with their respective ability. Being able to draw Seals virtually on command starting turn 2 if you got lucky with your warlord ability can be pretty strong, and is more or less what the deck aims to do. Consistent access to Seals either means controlling the enemy board very efficiently until you can finish by transforming or just putting up so much pressure early on that you can just win by dealing 7 to the enemy warlord with the respective Seal.
Malcador is definitely a fun warlord to play, and I do think that this kind of low tactic deck is the right way to play him. However, he is far from meta and can be pretty bad into aggro matchups.
