Tbh, Cabalist's Tome is my 2nd favorite mage class card. I'm not talking about just the WOG set, I'm speaking in general, its only beaten by flamestrike. I'm running 2 copies of cabalist's tome in my freeze/yogg deck and lol, I laugh at the naysayers that said cabalist's tome would be way too slow. Cabalist's tome typically does hand me a spell that isn't useful, but for the most part it gives me at least 1/3 useful spells and I almost always have a turn to play a cabalist's tome since I can just freeze aggro.
Dude, it's slow for TEMPO mage. Nobody said anything about freeze.

No way, Tempo is all about creating value. This gives you so much fodder for your flamewakers and archmage.

Yeah, tempo and value are conceptually in direct opposition.
But Cabalist's Tome, while a value card, is somehow quite good for tempo, I've found. It replenishes tempo similar to Arcane Intellect (another value card that appears in tempo), but cooperates with your deck's synergies. Against a slower opponent, like N'zoth pally or any C'thun deck, you don't lose much by casting it. Against zoo, sure, it will be a large tempo loss, but on balance I think Tome works marvelously in tempo mage.

Freeze mage is probably the strongest right now. I think the epic 0 cost removal spell is the best card in the new set.
The new counterpart to flamewaker is probably somewhere in the running.
And of course, adding three spells to your hand is quite powerful.
feel like crafting a yoggie-master
BBQ an egg?
