Pls advise on my current Compedium deck

Currently playing archmage anryena, alishk (draconic version) and astromancer.

Cards:
3x crystal storms
3x dragon armor
1x armor invocation
1x dragon scepter (auto equip)
2x level 1 fireball
3x than the sword
1x freeze
1x magic attack
1x anathematize
1x lv 3 lightning bolt
2x ice barrier
1x last word

Im thinking of removing anathematize, hardly use it. What do you guys think of this deck? Any redundant cards that I need to replace? Or weakness beside the one I mentioned below?

So far team like sap heart quick draw and beat down team (especially Zil) can kill my mage in 1 hit and its pretty much gameover.

I have a fair chance against most of the other kind of teams.

ok I will bite and try to help I have never played them and only seen a few good ones in my time, but maybe I can help with it who knows...

Ok lets go after Crystal Storm first, having this equipped basically prevents spell usage after, so you obviously want to stay alive. Now seeing you have attack based spells the question is are you running three for better drawing %? Or could one be cut to keep 1 character free to use your TTS, Fires, etc?

Obviously as it relates to fireball most will say "ZOMG!1! U NED ROOODSZZ!" well they are expensive so I see why you have that choice, until you can finally upgrade or get 2. Moving on...

I could see anath being needed in cases so I would suggest keep it, however magic attack seems to stick out like a sore thumb. Sure in the right situation a TTS into it could be a game winner, but with 1 the likely hood of drawing that seems slim.

So if you are having issues with sap and zil beating you down, and to ensure keeping crystal storms out to kill them I would have to say try finding some fallbacks, I hate brawlers, Tadaa You're a Bunny, and keeping your defense up with those actions where needed not compromising your storms  being removed.

Still it's trading offense off for defense basically and nothing groundbreaking but something to hopefully consider and think of. Good luck with it hope it turns out how you want it to.

Having 3 crystal storms up is mainly against healing/stall teams and discard teams as they cant kill my mages and its really awesome against them if I am lucky to have all 3 up in the 1st 2 rounds and finishing them off with lightning bolts.

Against most other teams, hopefully I can get 2 out or at least 1, and finishing them off with my other spells and lightning bolts.

Its usually luck dependent. If I can survive their 1st hit, there's a good chance I can win.

Now that U mentioned allbacks, I hate brawlers, Tadaa You're a Bunny, its a good idea to keep my crystal storms up longer.  I will have to check the marketplace and see if I can afford them. Thks man.

Having 3 is not a matter of being the 3 in play. You NEED the 3 to insure maximum probability of having 1 on turn 1. Personally I think tadaa is better than fallback, the exception is quickdraw. Against quickdraw it is basically game over for crystal storm, no way you can win. Either they don't have the quickdraw the first 2 turns and you have 2 storm and then can finish with lightning bolt lvl 3 or you're dead. I like marlok better than anryena, greater spirit, and spirit in other chars doesn't really matter, so you can pull off a devastating lightning bolt.

Also I've figured that upping the count to 2 or armor invocation can help. 3 is too much.

Hope it helps.
