@TheMortonator It's late so I'm to tired to type a full review but in short:
The entire Open the Waygate package won't work as even with a deck built specifically to OTK you is a tier 4 deck. Simply losing 1 card in your opening hand is just to much of a risk to even try playing it. It also makes you run bad cards like Shimmering Tempest and Lesser Ruby Spellstone which over several previous posts I've talked about why they are really bad so just look at those. On top of that I think you're pulling yourself in to many directions and that's gonna lead to a inconsistent deck. Elementals won't work in a quest mage deck so I think the best course is to drop the quest and its support and focus on elementals and or some other less restrictive package to run. And Frost Lich Jania will win slower matchups on her own to the point I really doubt you need the quest and otk potential to close out games.
I would personal drop Open the Waygate, Lesser Ruby Spellstone, Shimmering Tempest, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Archmage Antonidas, and swift messanger as all these cards are either weak, don't really synergize with the rest of the deck, or we have better things to run in place of it.
I think the deck I posted before is closer to what an elemental deck looking to play with Countess Ashmore should be like. As it has 2 goals either you tempo out the opponent or you eventually grind them out with Frost Lich Jania of which Jania does this grinder package almost all by herself (even though we do run a few things like Polymorph and Voodoo Doll that pairs really well with her). For example Muck Hunter is just better in a mage deck than swift messanger since you can ping off the 2/1s and make water elementals later on.
My take on elemental mage starring Countess Ashmore and voodoo doll.

Do you really need that many card draws though? Can’t you replace the book of specters with ruby spellstones? I just started so i don’t really what I’m doing
Just a question. How do you folks plan on keep your hand free and not overdraw?
With the combos you guys suggest, it's pretty much "draw 6 cards".
Since I do like Ele mage, and play it for the lulz, I can pretty much say you do not have neither mana
nor time to play all the cards you get.
I could see this be used in a combo situation, but in pure minion and specially elemental environment, dont see it happening at all.
Tho, only some insane Leyline Manipulator value can be obtained, but again...hardly
@Delfunk83 updated my list:
I think we have to compromise here. Book of Specters and Spiteful Summoner are just horrible together, add the risk of discarding your boardclear and finisher and it just becomes unbearable. But, there are no minion draw sources fast enough to combo with Arugal, so I've settled for Arcane Intellect.
Getting a 3-drop from Spiteful once in a while sucks, but it sucks less than getting a 2-drop.
here is mine
Skidaddle skidoodle your Milhouse manastorm is now a noodle
here is my version
I hink that spiteful is too slow and situational and will be wrecked by murloc lplayers so I created THE MURLOC ELEMENTAL MAGE!
Where Finja shines because of polymorph and will usually bring down the amalgam for a huge tempo swing
I think that spiteful do not fit into this deck because when it summons a 2 cost minion from book of spectres you are probably going to lose your match and 7 drops are so bad in standard (think about lynessa or the new 3/3) so you will get 1/3 time shitty minions
if you want to play book of spectre or some other spells alongside pyroblast then you should remove spiteful summoner
You aren't looking for a good card, you are looking for an elemental to start triggers. Elemental mage needs cheap elementals. Right now the only four are Firefly, Shimmering Tempest, Tar Creeper, and Pyros which is even worse than a random spell vs aggro. You can play an elemental mage right now and see how inconsistent not having the 2/1 is. It's bad, but otherwise you are relying on drawing one of four cards.
So, you just want to play a bad tempo deck against aggro and a mild value deck against control?
On paper wise, there are new cards printed to support the elemental mage. However, there are not enough cards to cheat the mana to out-tempo your opponent. When there is a really strong cubelock/control lock out there to punish mid-range deck, i couldn't help but to think that elemental mage could only reach tier 2 at best.
Another thing that i notice after tinkering on my elemental mage deck is that, the deck itself lack win conditions. Frost lich Jaina seems to be the only win condition. The lack of spells mean less burst potential. The elemental minions do not provide enough tempo to take over the game either, imo. The whole elemental package, even with Arugal, doesnt seem solid enough as of now.
