I’m currently laddering with this deck and have gone from 10 to 7 in a day. Antonidas is often how you’re going to win against control decks. Playing him out and casting 2-3 small spells is one of two ways the deck has to come up with credible damage. The other is playing Starseeker and drawing the Monkey. Your creatures will often be used to struggle for board control and aren’t going to be hitting the opponent all that often.
The fact that you only have 1 Fireball, 1 Torch and 1 Frostbolt with no Ice Lances means burning the opponent out without Antonidas is only possible with a lucky Cabalist’s Tome. Playing only one of each burn spell is regrettably necessary since you only have a mediocre amount of card draw (1 Intellect, 1 Drake, 1 Harrison) and you need Reno active whenever you’re lucky enough to draw it against aggro.
Rhonin is…okay. He’s very bad against aggro and awesome against control when you can put him out before Antonidas. But he can be very easily replaced by another legendary since you’re not using N’zoth here.
Cool deck. It’s very similar to my own brew, but more “cutesy”

I cut the overkill cards like archmage and Rhonin for more board control.
Do you think all those arcane missles are necessary when you could just play Barron for a mana cheaper and wipe thier board?
