I have enough dust to craft both missing cards  for an odd  mage deck, is it worth despite being this early in the expansion? 

It's a pretty safe craft (only 1 Blast Wave imo), whether Odd Mage will be a top tier deck, idk.

pretty sure it's safe, the card is extremely OP in odd mage because dealing 8 damage is really easy.

I have no regrets. Craft with confidence. Plus, Odd Mage will probably stick around after rotation despite losing Jaina etc.

i'm pretty sure Janalai is a safe craft, still on the fence wether Janalai will see play with cube, eggs and odd paladin in the meta, but i'm pretty sure Odd mage will be a pretty damn strong deck once rotation hits and cuube and eggs leave.

Janalai is pretty strong. I even run copy effects to abuse her power (Zola and Faceless). Ragnaros is always fun to play. Not sure about Blast Wave though, it feels underwhelming. Maybe start with one copy as suggested above.

I opened a copy of Blast Wave but didn't feel it was worth crafting another. It's not bad but in a lot of matchups it's pretty weak and I just ran a scroll of Wonders instead of a 2nd copy. I think having 6 spells is important and I didn't want to burn dust so Deck of Wonders worked... wonders.

Jan’alai-yes. Blast Wave-no.

Is it worth crafting a Ragnaros in Standard?

*ponders*

Definitely janalai. I dont think blast wave will be good so I would have caution

blast wave is probably only good for the next 4 months in standard since it's only reason for inclusion is dragon's fury and arcane tyrant it works very will with both of them/.. the big spell package is VERY good in odd mage.. the deck kinda built itself..

Jan’alai is amazing. It’s a great tempo play that gives you a three card advantage, and the conditions are easily met. Even better if you Baleful Banker it the same turn!

Jan'alai is top 5 (if not the best) this expansion, safe craft.

7 mana rag with a free 4/4 is as safe a craft as it gets
i don't know about blast wave but big mage needs more spells so i  guess may as well

Def 1 blast wave if that. Odd mage operates at a high hand count and it often feels like an anchor because it can force a discard.

If you are not sure whether you like the deck, you should probably wait for a meta report before crafting. Odd Mage might not be as good as it seems and both those cards are only playable in Odd Mage.

 Odd mage seems like a solid deck I doubt it won't be a tier 1 or 2 deck it has good tempo, good value, good finishers and good matchups, it can beat anything if played/teched right.. that's a sign of a great deck.

It looses to a lot of OTK style decks and can loose to kingsbane. Ive found pure control mage o be stronger overall. You really miss those sheep and potentially game winning secrets. Not saying its not strong but just doesn’t have some answers.

 8 healing as well if you've played Jaina

Yeah you should craft jan’alai, the combo with it and brann is super *broken* loool
