Please check out my deck idea for Luna's Pocket Galaxy + Raven's Familiar idea I have. The goal is to get raven's familiar in your opening hand and on turn two winning the joust to get the only spell in your deck, Luna's Pocket Galaxy. If you win the Joust (good chance!) then on turn 6 or 7 you cast pocket galaxy and now for the rest of the game your minion HEAVY deck cost only 1 mana per minion.
To spice things up I added Mage Quest to the mix... now hear me out... Look at all the minions in the deck list that generate spells. This creates a very achievable win condition.
Anyway, this is a VERY different type of mage deck and it has me excited to try it out. Thanks for reading this thread. If you see anyway to improve the deck please help me theory-craft :)
It feels like this deck is trying to do too much stuff at one time. You have a more controlly package with Frost Lich Jaina and Baron Geddon, yet also the quest (not saying it's impossible to complete) and Luna's Pocket Galaxy. I feel like if you were to cut the quest and go for a more control style deck utilizing Luna's Pocket Galaxy and Jaina as a finisher to grind out the opponent, it could work better? That way you can also cut Arcane Dynamo and Arfus for more cards that would be able to help get to the late game. Having 0 board clears (natural ones atleast) when you are playing a top heavy deck is just an open letter to be rushed down.
Maybe add Flamestrikes/Blizzards and also a Grand Archivest? That way you can not only deal with the board more but then also just pull Luna's Pocket Galaxy from your deck, just encase you didn't draw the Familiar.

I don't have something witty about this deck, I just like it because Malygos is fun.
I'm not sure if I'm going to rely on the Arcane Dynamo tho for finding your board clears. I don't like Arfus , Onyxia too. I like that there is some Tar Creeper and Giggling Inventor for defense but I don't think that they're gonna be enough.
But I like the idea here. I think you just have to cut some legends like ( Arfus , Archmage Arugal , Onyxia )
I think if mage is running no spells then Book of Specters is more powerful, despite it sometimes discarding Galaxy. Then the deck can have Astromancers as well as Mountain Giants and Twilight Drakes! Handlock 2.0!
At the very least I figure that midrange decks will be better against the meta than control decks like this one, at least at the start of this meta. If you can speed this deck up more though then more power to you! Ghastly Conjurer might be a good place to start.
I love the book of specters idea, but it is anti synergy with the familiars and you would have to wait until you cast the pocket galaxy before you use the book or you run the really bad luck of discarding your galaxy. Good thinking though!

Great feedback, ty! I will try your version of it for sure.

Anyone knows for sure if we can find the Galaxy via Primordial Glyph?
I don't see any reasons why not.

Im thinking wouldnt 2x Grand Archivist with Luna's Pocket Galaxy (and maybe 2x Book of Specters) be a decent way to make the pocket galaxy work?

Open the Waygate creates anti-synergy with Raven Familiar Kappa
well... if you mulligan Open the Waygate then i guess you are correct O.o
Ohhh i like. I might have to squeeze them in somehow. Prob sub them in for the acolytes of pain.
