Mulligan:

Always Keep: Loot Hoarder, Acidic Swamp Ooze

against aggro: Arcane Artificer, Frostbolt, Primordial Glyph

against control: Arcane Intellect, Skulking Geist

when you have good mana curve: Brainstormer, Electrowright (you can also consider keeping expensive spell for synergy), Stonehill Defender (keep any of those card when you have 2-drop)

Upgrades:

There are two ways how we can upgrade this deck:

1. Turn this deck to Big Spell Mage. This will change a lot of things in this deck because we can't include cheap spells (they should be removed and changed for sth else first)

Big Spell Mage: AAECAf0ECrfxAqPrAtvTApvTAsLOAqDOAtPFAuwHxQTQAgri+ALD+AKW5ALX 4QLV4QKWxwKIwQLJA4oBTQA=

2. Include more epic and legendary cards for better late game win condition.

Giggling Inventor (RIP) -> Meteor

Water Elemental -> Sindragosa

Water Elemental -> Dragoncaller Alanna

Electrowright -> Frost Lich Jaina

Frostbolt -> Doomsayer

Acidic Swamp Ooze -> Gluttonous Ooze

Cards that might be included:

Dragon's Fury - great board clear but you need to remove cheap spells in favour of those more expensive or add minions instead.

Arcane Intellect -> Acolyte of Pain (this helps when you want to include Dragon's Fury in deck)

Voodoo Doll - great synergy with Frost Lich Jaina

Arcane Tyrant - play this for 0 mana when you will play expensive spell

Baron Geddon - heal for a lot after you will play Frost Lich Jaina

The Lich King - dr.8 provides more value

Key kards explanation:

Arcane Artificer - helps against aggro decks, can generate a lot of armor to provide more time against aggro decks

Brainstormer - almost half of a deck is filled with spells, this means that we can get a pretty nice bonus to health points for this minion 

Electrowright - it's almost always a 3 mana 4/4. Helps in early board control.

Skulking Geist - this card is great. can counter a lot of meta cards and decks like: Play Dead, Hunter's Mark, Naturalize, Lesser  Jasper Spellstone, Cold Blood, Soul Infusion and Soulfire

Stonehill Defender -  can provide a big taunt minion like The Lich King  

Deck Introduction:

The idea behind this deck is to give opportunity to new players to test out a cheap control deck and also give few cards a chance (Electrowright and Brainstormer -no one played them before). Main plan is to control the board and wipe opponent board with cards like Blizzard and Flamestrike. Later when we will deal a little bit of dmg to opponent we can burst them with 2x Fireball and Frostbolt.

Nerfs:

Giggling Inventor should be changed for Tar Creeper or Sunwalker
