Neviilz Karazhan Control Mage Deck September 16

Control Mage is back with the new Karazhan cards. This is an interesting list, it’s the Neviilz Karazhan Control Mage Deck September 16 he was playing on stream. The list includes Medivh’s Valet, Avian Watcher, Babbling Book, and The Curator from the new adventure.

Like most Neviilz decks there are a lot of tech cards and synergy between different cards in the deck. The double Ice Block means you’re often playing on the edge of dying, then using Alexstraza to gain health and let your opponent over extend so you can board clear.

Trump Control Mage Deck w Arcane Giants

This is the Trump Control Mage Deck w Arcane Giants he put together and was playing on stream. Control mage is an archetype that’s never quite hit the mark before. Reno Mage comes close, and can play out like control, but we haven’t had a really good Control Mage since the old Grinder Mage days.

Trump has put some strog minions, some game-stalling tech’s like Frost Nova, a Cabalist’s Tome for extra draw, and of course the new card Arcane Giant’s – which you will no doubt get to play for free.

General Mulligan Strategy for Control Mage

You’re going to play a slow game so it’s ok to keep Arcane Intellect in your opening hand. Try and pick up some cheap early removal to control the board like Arcane Blast and Frostbolt. Don’t be afraid to cycle the Forgotten Torch early even if it’s overkill on a minion, the spell reduces your Arcane Giant and you get closer to the 3 mana, 6 damage Flaming Torch.
