This deck is sooo bad arcane giant is soooooooooo bad
I’ve played this a little, and my problem is that while it has plenty of control, it doesn’t have much face damage. So you can have a handful of cards and nothing to make progress.
This is similar to a Control Mage deck from StrifCro where he ended up cutting two secrets and the Avian Watchers (amongst other cards) for more consistent options.
4 Cards heavily depending on secrets and playing 4 secrets (2 of them not staying active for long) … I’m always fascinated how some players make such fragile and inconsistent decks work.
You can get a lot of secrets from cabalist’s tome as well.
I don’t think you can count on rng effects in the current metagame for your cards to do any good.
Just a few seconds ago, I saw a ‘Dragon’ Paladin with Nightbane Templar and 6 dragons overall:

I sometimes struggle to get a dragon in hand with Dragon Warrior, which contains at least 9 dragons (imho the bare minimum you must play if you want to abuse cards like Blackwing Corruptor) …
