I currently play a Reno Freeze mage and I'm rocking a pretty high winrate with it so far.
The ideal combo is:
Kazakus into Emperor Into Alexstraza into Solia + Pyro blast + iceblock.
If the enemy doesn't instantly reno afterwards it's GG.
What makes this particular combo disgusting is not only are they forced to deal with Alexstraza immediately otherwise GG. Even after they burn their spells to deal with Alex they're followed up with yet another 5/5 that's going to kill them. Even after they burn resources trying to kill the 5/5. They now have to heal themselves to deal with a Kazakus card, and or a burn combo of fireball + torch + the frost blast. Combine this with Cabalist's tome and the high likelihood that you have yet another power blast . . . once you reach turn 8 the enemy is on an extreme downward slope that they have to put constant pressure on while you're sitting comfortably with a Reno + ice block.
What makes this even more beautiful is you can turn around and deck out high draw face decks and reverse it into making yourself a tank, and or switch to a more early game with Khazakus and proceed to burn the enemy face + establish board control against face/tempo/zoo decks while using Alex + Kazakus + Solia as a means to keep yourself alive + board control etc.
This deck is extremely versatile and so far I think Solia solidifies this deck as a tier 1. I know Strifecro and the others are currently calling her trash. But, I just want you guys to think about this . . . I spent a long time telling my legend tier friends that Yog Saron was going to be S+, and was even laughed at by Trump and Strifecro. Two months later they were crying about how OP/broken Yog Saron is while I was casually collecting FREELO with my golden Yog before they caught on.
So far the only deck I really had trouble with was a priest I drew poorly on, and if I had Reno I would have won. I have also beaten the mythical control warrior. But tbh, most of them are currently face warriors because Reno Freeze Control Burst mage isn't high up on the popularity totem pole right now and people are busy yoloing with Druid and Face Warrior which this deck actually deals with pretty well.
All in all.
10/10 beautiful amazing girl.
I'm glad I spent the 6k dust + 12 bucks to make this deck and this card makes the deck Godly.

The top link is the top part of the deck, the bottom link is the bottom. I couldn't capture it all in one picture.
Wouldnt this work with Rafaam discoveries too?
I've been playing Reno Kazakus Mage for a while, but I don't have Solia. In you opinion is she worth crafting? The problem is that Double Reno control mage is not very tempo oriented, so getting that 5/5 body for free is not big of a deal. May be is she was a 3 mana 1/1.
Shes really good in my deck, I would recommend you craft her.
Just won with pyroblast + frostbolt on a jaraxxus with full board, never felt so good.
Everyone told me that you don't use her to cast Pyroblast, but Cabalist's Tome seems to have other plans.
Thus far I've found she works best in Reno Jackson/Kazakus Mage as you're able to cheat out a Flamestrike for free on turn seven and get yourself a 5/5 in the process. I've not had much luck with using her to get an early play on a 10 mana potion from Kazakus yet as I've gotten more use there as a general 5 drop but that wouldn't be bad either.
I suppose there's some potential here to do something like Inkmaster Solia >Pyroblast >Frostbolt > Ice Lance for a 17 damage burn combo from an empty board but that seems unlikely.
once it was;
"If your deck has no duplicates,
your hero power costs 0"
right?
Ye, it is
Prime example of a garbage card.
Sure, you can play it with Reno (until it rotates out after a few months), and Kazakhus, but the card itself is very weak You are just paying 7 mana for a spell of your choice and a 5/5 body. It's a discount only in case of Pyroblast (which is a bad card to begin with).
I would rather play an Arcane giant - I get a free 8/8 body (8/8 > 5/5), pay the cost of the spell (which is in most cases <= 7), and not have to play a gimped highlander deck.
Or compare it to Firelands Portal - it's just ONE, not two cards, and you get 5 mana minion (which is roughly similar to a 5/5 body), and you do 5 damage guarranteed in ONE card. And the cost is the same - 7 mana.
People fall for the hype so easily... it's Varian Wrynn all over again.
u can play it with rafaam which is a 15/15 7 mana bruh.
and kazakhus 10 mana spell is f**king broken.
7mana 5/5(most likely 4-5cost minion) which means 3 mana firelands portal 5dmg(3mana) + 5mana minion
= 7 mana for 4+3+5=12mana
u spend 5 less mana for that.
if you're playing reno mage, then the best it is is in wild, i don't know why you'd go through the torment of standard
Or maybe with... Kazakus?
So, you're saying no to a free 5/5?
OMG. 0 mana pyroblast. EPIC, excuse me, i mean Legendary
I which scenario it isn't?
Best Girl confirmed, 9/10 would craft
how is it garbage? It is literally ajust a huge tempo boost that also allows you to play high mana cost spells ahead of time (which is mainly going to be Kazakus 10-mana spells)
All of that in a Reno deck which really needs strong tempo plays like that
