Magician seems almost meme-worthy, but there might actually be something there when wanting a slower value game. A 'burn' strategy seems like it'll get the ol' MTG flood games this way, but I would be interested to see what it brings to the table. Having a really low Atlas count in the only deck could leave some interesting odds for 5-spell openers.
So far, I can't recommend Animist. I thought the flexibility of spells or minions would be stronger, and if we see more Spirit tribal support it may improve, but the minions are just too generic and average to do much. I find myself wanting to leave Poison Nova in hand with an empty board just in case instead of playing a 5cost 5power beater.
