It's quite the risky strategy since your hand will be near full most turns. If someone pings your acolytes or drops an unexpected coldlight you could easily burn away a key combo piece. It's a nine card combo the way you run it (holding all the cards until the turn you pop the combo). Relying on the tomes for the generation is also risky since it will make it hard to use them earlier without leaving yourself open or burning some of the generators. If you draw the apprentice or the molten early they clutter up your hand and make it hard to draw. Ultimately I think this is too tight to work consistently.
Yeah I think you might be right. The acolytes in particular seem a bit dicey. Bloodmage Thalnos and Arcanologist are other card draw options I might toy with. I'm gonna try to see if I can make something work when the expansion comes out.
The idea with this deck is to Doomsayer on 2, freeze the board turns 6-9, survive with Ice Block 10-11, and win on turn 12. If you draw well you can do this and your whole deck will be drawn by turn 12. On turn 12 you go 2x Sorcerer's Apprentice and 2x Molten Reflection, which costs 7 mana total. You then cast 2x Cabalist's Tome for 1 mana each, and 2 Primordial Glyph for 0 mana each for 9 mana total. Now hopefully at least 6 of your non class cards are 4 or less mana. You cast them all, then cast Time Warp for 1 mana. Then you win with Archmage Antonidas the next turn. Here's an example of a curve that does what I described above.

I agree that elementals will probably wind up being a worse version of jade and therefore see no play. I think the problem is on the jade side more so than the elemental side. They just need to do something about Jade Idol. Jade Idol alone makes most slow archetypes obsolete. The priest deathrattle deck will probably also see no play because of Jade Idol.
This card seems absolutely busted to me. It's basically a freeroll 1/1 charge in every pirate deck in most games. This might be the most overpowered card ever printed and I think it alone will make pirate warrior tier 1.

Seems solid. Kind of similar to Dark Peddler.

Lol... this might be the worst card ever printed.

this + 2 bankers lets you go infinite in any class.

Play Lifedrinker, Saronite Chain Gang and Primordial Drake early on. Play Fire Plume Harbinger with Murmuring Elemental in hand. Play Murmuring Elemental + Shudderwock. This guarantees you a 1 mana Shudderwock and 1 mana Murmuring Elemental in hand. It's guaranteed because Shudderwock's 2nd battlecry is guaranteed to bounce the Saronite copy from the first battlecry. For every turn after that you can deal 15+ face damage, heal 15+ and clear the board.

Pretty sure this upcoming meta is gonna be quest hunter vs. jade druid. So basically the same as now except a different aggro deck.

I wouldn't be too concerned. Elementals are basically a bad version of jade and likely won't see play.
