Best thing about him is that his damage heals you as Frost Lich Jaina. So yeah, his AOE skills are quite useful. You could go for more elemental synergy, though, especially if you’re low on dust. A few of the other cards are especially good if you played an elemental last turn, so I could imagine a second Blazecaller in his place. But drake is certainly a very good card, you can always give it a try, doesn’t sound bad at all. Just something to consider!
Arugal + Book is really solid. I have seen other decks even include Giants because of it, if you have those cards as opening hand combo you can drop a giant as early as T3 (and with arugal follow up with another one the next turn). It’s dangerous in this deck though, as there are not so many spells in there and if you discard them it can go sideways… But then again, it’s not a spell focused deck, so even if you do, it’s not a lost game.
Anyway, compare it to Arcane Intellect, it’s basically 3 mana draw 2 vs. 2 mana draw 3.
I have more of a problem with a) the Ooze (not really to much of a point in the current meta anymore) and the plated beetles, they’re neither elementals nor are 2 drops as important to mage. So I guess you could replace those with fireballs/frostbolts (from my gut feeling) to have a bit of removal or burn. But I did not try that substitution, so just brainstorming here…

Woudn’t it be better if I put Sindragosa instead of LK?
I played and it doesnt realy work can you explain the strategy?
Man this deck is expensive, but it looks cool… wish I had more luck on the packs 🙁
Good list tho i don’t have enough dust to create Baron Geddon. Would you consider Primordial Drake instead as a replacement?

why book of spectres? I am not being critical, I am trying to understand its purpose.
I feel like it’s shitty, but I maybe am just misplaying it too? Is it just for Arugal combo?

it’s just good draw for a deck that doesn’t play many spells at all. even without arugal its pretty essential
I like it, is solid!
isnt this just regular elemental mage?
I think it has a lower curve and some interesting cards like leyline manipulator, book of specters, archmage arugal
