Introduction

 

I’ve always loved the old Big Spell Mage Deck with Dragoncaller Alanna. Sadly she is just not strong enough in the wild meta. But the new expansion features some new ammunition in form of Magister DawngraspBalinda StonehearthIceblood Tower and Rune of the Archmage for the Big Spell Mage package. Since most of Wild is so fast this wont be easy to make this work. We are going to try it anyway. I decided for the Reno variant because of the flexibility it brings even though i can see the appeal in chaining Iceblood Tower.

 

General Deck Idea

 

Big Spells! …..

We want to win casting Big Spells for free. Cheating them out early with Inkmaster SoliaClumsy CourierDragoncaster and the new Balinda Stonehearth and repeating them with Magister Dawngrasp.

Specifically we want to recast:


Mask of C'Thun for Shadow
Deep Freeze or Blizzard for Frost
Dragon's Fury or Flamestrike for Fire
Power of Creation or Arcane Brilliance for Arcane (Sadly Luna's Pocket Galaxy is Arcane as well but the upside of the card is just to strong to not include it in my opinion).

To get to the late game we have some armor generation and heal in form of Flightmaster DungarArcane ArtificerDeepwater Evoker and of course Reno Jackson. On top of our removal spells we have a lot of utility and value with Zephrys the GreatKazakusMalygos, Aspect of Magic and Brann BronzebeardBarista Lynchen might be over the top but since we want to play for the lategame anyway i included her in the starting list.

 

Variations/Changes

-Shivering Sorceress
+Alexstrasza

Probably going to cut Shivering Sorceress and Raven Familiar have do do some more testing before that though. General the discount is just not needed most of the time cause we are cheating out spells anyway and Familiar has the same problem like Tortollan Pilgrim. Most of the time we prefer coping spells with Arcane Brilliance or cheating them out with Iceblood Tower.

Alexstrasza:  we might need it to close out games.

C'Thun, the Shattered: good alternative and u can get there fast with Iceblood Tower. Little bonus for C'Thun, the Shattered even the occasionally bad recast of Luna's Pocket Galaxy from Magister Dawngrasp is still beneficial xD.

Tortollan Pilgrim: can get us that Iceblood Tower out of the deck if we don’t draw it but we can’t copy the spells we pull with Arcane Brilliance afterwards. 

If u like Big Spell Mage like this and let me know what u guys would change.
