Reno Jackson is being added to many decks, but one of the original thoughts was to throw it into Freeze Mage. This deck by Amnesiac, is also one of the few that has a lot of duplicate cards in it. It doesn’t make Reno impossible to play, but it does make him less likely to work. You do benefit from a lot of card draw, cards like Bloodmage Thalnos, Loot Hoarder, and Acolyte of Pain will help you get through your deck. Mad Scientist also helps thin your deck further allowing you to draw into those duplicate cards.

Makes it 2 less duplicates to keep track of and still virtually the same cards. All you need to keep track of are: 3 freeze effects, Arcane Intellect, Mad Scientist, Doomsayer, and Ice Block.
To be honest, I prefer Freeze Mage with Forgotten Torch. Reno Jackson is pretty good in theory, but this list has too many duplicates for me to count (I don’t use DeckTracker). Speaking of Freeze Mage, are you going to update the original list to add Forgotten Torch?
The meta list will be updated once the deck list is more finalized. Forgotten Torch is a bit too new to throw it in just yet.
I don’t use deck tracking either. But once you played like 10 or 20 games with the deck, you know which cards to count and when you know the Jackson hits. In the beginning it is tough, but you will get it eventually.
You probably would want to wait until very late in the game to play Reno anyway, so your deck should be very thin by then. I played a few games with a list basically identical and it is really a life saver.
