Why Ice Lance?

Is Arcane Intellect better to exchange it with Flamewaker because this deck needs some card draw

Yes.

Flamewaker has no place in Renomage. People think that it is auto-include in every mage deck, but it really only gets value in decks where you can play it along with a bunch of cheap spells. Otherwise it is just a 2/4 that will at most get 2 rounds of pings off, but more than likely just 1 or none.

Arcane intellect is absolutely necessary, and it's weird to me that a mage wouldn't run it, as it is one of the best class-specific card draws.

I made the swap but the reason why i didn't have AI in my original list is because this deck never seems to run out of cards. You have 7 cards that give you cards plus two cards that draw in Bloodmage and Azure Drake. Flamewaker is an early threat. Even if you don't get a lot of use out of it, your opponent feels the need to waste a swipe or hard removal asap on it. 

This is one of Reno mage's strengths, though: Card Advantage. The deck is just loaded with the tools that you need in order to win, but as 1-ofs, it's hard to come by the exact one that you need at any given time. Having a consistently full hand gives you options.

With that said, it's all well and good that your hand is usually full... but what is it full of? Cards that you got from Babbling Book, Jeweled Scarab, Kabal Courier, etc etc... but the most important card that you can have comes from your own deck: Reno. Having a hand full of random cards doesn't do you very much good if your health total is dwindling and Reno is still hiding in your deck. And not just Reno; the entire deck is a carefully selected combination of 30 cards. Arcane intellect is useful for digging into your own deck, and getting the cards that you put in there to serve a specific purpose.

Random cards definitely have their place, but never underestimate the power of drawing cards from your own deck.

Not sure about Manic Soulcaster I used it on Brann, and it made 2 Branns go into my deck. Seems nice, but it made Reno fail.

I mean, I could use it on another minion, but this deck is so spell heavy...

Soulcaster is almost always played on either Reno or Kazakus. 

Yeah you're right, was my lack of experience with these decks.

Curious why no Pyroblast in deck when playing Solia.  Seems like a good finisher.

Yeah I got Pyroblast over Arcane blast. Bigger blasts are better.

In my experience, Pyroblast doesn't work as intended 99% of the time. Most of the time, you are stuck with it in your hand before turn 10, wishing that it was something playable. Even after turn 10, if your opponent has managed to keep most of their health total, it's still a dead card.

Also, Renomage doesn't have the aggression necessary to warrant a burst finish like Pyroblast. It's a grindy deck, where the early stages of the game are just spent trying to not die. So that means that more often than not, your opponent will go into the late game at full health. Your win by getting more value out of the late-game, not by rocking their face for 10 damage.

Pretty much anything else would be better. Renomage can't afford to have situational cards, like pyroblast, which very rarely get the intended value. 

What this guy said. Pyroblast ends up being just a large removal in Reno Mage. I'd rather use Inkmaster for Flamestrike, Firelands Portal, or Kazakus spell. 

Missing arcane intellect hard

I'd replace Elise with it. On my experience on Reno mage, Elise is useless here.

Elise is pretty much the best win condition you can ask for against virtually any Control match-up

Dont be stupid, casting cabalist's tome doesn't put any duplicates in your deck. The effects will still trigger.

Duplicates in your hand=/= duplicates in your deck.
