Some Random Control Mage I Made For Fun

These cards are pretty much just some relatively powerful cards. Babbling Book offers some early game board presence and a random spell, that over 5 mana adds to Alanna, and under, sometimes offers some early game tempo. Arcanologist offers a decent early game stated body, plus a way to draw Ice Block, which let's admit, is a part of every Mage deck. Thalnos is Spell Damage for AoE, and card draw so what's not to like? Frostbolt and Primoridal Glyph may screw over the Dragon's Fury a bit, but they are just so good early game spells and flexible late game that it's hard to keep them off. Intellect will help draw cards when you're down on some, and Fireball is just a good spell for removal and burst.

Not so much aggro, as I prefer to use these as removal, but Frostbolt and Fireball do offer some reach if you need to get lethal.

As this is a control deck, sustainability is vital. That's why Artificer and Jaina are in the deck. Jaina gives the elementals like Water Elemental and Tar Creeper some lifesteal shenanigans, and Artificer makes it so you can heal 7 for casting Flamestrike. Doomsayer is good in early game, but not very consistent later on. Try to mulligan for it in an aggro match up. Tar Creeper is much of the same, but with Taunt it gives you some nice life. Volcanic Potion clears some of the really small Silver Hand Recruits and other early game minions. Polymorph for other control decks like Big Priest and Control Lock. Dragon's Fury seemed pretty good for a big board clear, and it mostly works if you mulligan for the early game spells. Flamestrike is a lot more consistent and won't kill your Artificer after being casted.
