This deck is designed to utilize some of the new cards from the latest expansion. The idea is an almost “Tempo-ish” style start, setting up Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk later in the game.
Additional win conditions come from Archmage Antonidas and of course Frost Lich Jaina, which you just HAVE to include in my opinion.
Secrets can be utilized efficiently with Kirin Tor Mage (as per usual), but I really like the new card Masked Contender, which fits really well into an odd deck, and makes Odd/Secret mage more attractive. In addition, the battlecry on the Contender should work with Secretkeeper. I have kept Secretkeeper in as a great 1 drop, but also as I think there will be hunter/pala secrets a’plenty in the new expansion (and i’s a much needed 1 drop anyway).
Defensive cards
Mind Control Tech Tar Creeper Baron Geddon Flamestrike Cinderstorm
Some additional play can be gained through using Zola the Gorgon, this will even combo in 1 turn with Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk for 10 Mana.
Heals
Baron Geddon Frost Lich Jaina Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk
Hopefully the fast-ish start should negate too much face damage. Obviously the above cards do require Jaina to be active for the healing effect to work.
Looks good! And fun! Will surely give it a try. 🙂
Great 🙂 Just had a thought that Zilliax could be added for extra help vs Aggro, but we’ll see how it does without first.
