After looking at M13 I am really liking cards like Archaeomancer and Thragtusk. I feel like Archaeomancer, although 4 mana, has an amazing ability together with blink stuff, but I am not sure if it belongs in more ordinary control decks that wait to drop bombs.
As for Talrand, I like him and I think there can be some synergy between him and Archaeomancer. However, I'm not sure if it would be better to go full-out blink with Splicer and Thragtusk and ignore him altogether.
I could see Resto Ranger beating out Venser and obviously this card over Archaeomancer, but I wouldn't mind giving them a shot either
