Lady Jaina Proudmoore
Irana x2
- Greater Water Elemental
- Ice Block x2
- Counterspell x2
- Flamestrike x2
- Polymorph x2

Even if someone beats you to the hill, you can probably nuke that character in a single tick, and there's even a good chance you'll have the opportunity to teleport one of your Iranas onto the hill in the process.  It's not foolproof, but the sheer number of dice combined with a pair of Arcane Brilliance effects make it a sturdy party.  Hopefully someone likes it and takes it for a spin...

I wanted to give everyone a list of all the trustworthy people who traded with me on this site, but it exceeds maximum character length. To me, that's a hopeful sign.

1) Why no third Ice Block? (Farming Jaina seems like a good move against this team)

2) What does Jaina give you over the third Irana?

1. no answer, but arcane flux would let the Jaina's teleport, and GWE push happen more often.
2.  Greater water elemental, +1 on 3 attacks

GWE crit is +1, not push.

2. Is that worth the +3 Honor, + Legendary VP bonus to the opponent upon farming your epic? Especially considering 1.

On the plus side, you're less likely to have to ready an opponent's card with Arcane Brilliance. ;)

As I saw it, Jaina would always have one of the Ice Blocks, and the other would be with one of the Iranas (perhaps it would be worthwhile to squeeze the 3rd Ice Block in there instead of a 2nd Polymorph).  The big values I see for her are:
1) GWE in the Amalar match-up
2) Extra die for Flamestrike vs. Wall
3) Constant AoE pressure in match vs. Ice Block builds

D'Oh!!  I got GWE in my CWS or my CWS in my GWE...

Have you been spying on me in Vassal Hammer? :p
I'm getting tempted to drop one of the FS's for a 3rd Iceblock atm but I'm not 100% sure yet.
The only issue i'm finding with this team is occasionally you end up with the 1 Irana without a block being chased by something big she can't kill while Jaina and Irana2 are blocked up after CSing a purge or 2.
Still i'm 18-5 in testing with this party so I like those odds.

Nah...
I've been wanting to play this party for awhile in standard format, and with the altered meta I felt like it had even more reason to be played.  I'm glad to see that it's receiving good results.  If you do field it at Realms, please let me know how you finish.

In the end I had some Figure issues (couldn't get the Irana's and was emailed at 1:30am on the night before to be informed of this) So I ended up playing Murloc, Murloc, Deathwatcher which took me to 3rd place.
I can't help but feel IR/Ir/Ja would have decimated the BIG and Zoo teams I lost to though while still destroying the vashj teams I ate with murlocs.

Triple Iranas made good showings just about everywhere, so I'm sure it would have done well to swap Jaina in.  I'm not sure how the epic mage party would have done against the non-epic, but there's a chance that Jaina's AoE could have played a deciding role.

I believe Jaina's version is strictly inferior, if only because you don't get as many Polymorphs or Flamestrikes out of it (due to a missing Arcane Brilliance).
