you could maybe do a miracle mimiron deck.
Mimiron is a pretty good wincon. Give him coldblood and he does 32 damage.
You could do that, but it is just an insane situation you need for this to succeed.

Though this looks only good on paper but I think Mimiron is a good combo with Dr. Balanced. Throw Boom, and next turn you can throw a Annoy-o-Tron plus Mimiron. Boom will attract removals (a smokescreen, turn before you play Mimiron), and Annoy will block some of the dmg, plus his an additional mech for Mimiron to nomnom (and you still have one mana left, maybe a Clockwork Gnome?). Rest is self explanatory (that is IF your opponent leaves your Boom Bots alone). Of course opponent can still "Fireball him"...
Unfortunately for this to work out, you really need some circumstances 
PS: I recently created a Flamewaker style Mage deck (similar to yours Minion), but with Malygos. It's your traditional spell heavy mage deck. It even has Antonidas plus a few mechs for some extra Fireballs. So far... it's not that good. Boy, it's incredible how things changed in Hearthstone. A few months back spell heavy Mages were OP and now, although still dangerous, they struggle a lot, probably because of sticky minions.
So far I don't find Malygos that useful. Sure his ability is OP, but only if he stays till your next turn (cause with 9 mana cost there's not much resources left :/). Not to mention I usually have to top-deck spells cause it's late game. So he mostly just sits in my hand. Did I mention how much I hate Priests? In one duel I couldn't play Malygos, cause I knew he had a MC and he stubbornly kept it in hand Priests have so many ways to snatch him it's ridiculous... and I don't want to see a 7 dmg Holy Nova :/

I know I really like that style of deck but the win-ratio is not that high. Sticky minions indeed are the reason why spell heavy mage struggles. The same reason why C-Warrior used to be at the top of the food chain before GvG because the weapons cleared almost everything with ease. I still find C-warrior hard to deal with, but they are so rare nowadays so it doesn't bother me.
Haha you and your Priest hate xD Those sweet 20 minute games, where in the end Priest is at 30 Health and your last threat gets Mind Controlled. What could be frustrating about that ;P
I just fell to the dark side. I crafted Dr. Balanced. Second game with Dr boom, opponent has Azure Drake and 4/4 Shade behind a 5/10 Taunt. Am I dead? No, I have two boom bots. Run them to the taunt wall and boomboom Drake and Shade are gone  Oh gawd, such balance! xD

Sometimes playing Heartstone feels like playng the slots-machine. I kill your Deathlord -> Mana Wyrm. I lose, because I spent 3 card to kill him. There is no coming back. No way.
Unstable Portal. Turn 4 Dr. Boom. GG. Nothing that ANYONE can do to that. It actually is I WIN situation. Yes it happens rarely, but do I enjoy it? no.
Other than that, I am enjoying playing atm. My tempo-mage is FUN! And that is what this game is about.

Yeah, or like with the recent popular Grim Patron Warrior. Opponent plays him at 5 mana with 1 Durability Deathsbite and two Inner Rages. "Everyone" GG! The only defense would be a Flamestrike (though it's two turns until 7 mana :/ and I'm not even a Mage ). Yeah, Hearthstone can be one-sided And Arena is the king in this field.
Btw I'm recently observing a surge of good players with varied decks even in the middle of a week. Is some kind of tournament coming? One player has left me in awe with insane combos and fast thinking, sth very rare in H especially with the Priest class

What are you playing atm? Dragon Paladin? Yeah there is only Consecration and that blows against Patrons And the 1/1 dudes only make it worse.

Nowadays DragoPala, Mage and Huntard for quick wins (yeah, he still works I tried some other builds but unfortunately nothing is as efficient as Huntertaker which I use over Face Hunter). Warlock, Druid and Shaman if there are dailies with them. I practically don't play Rouge, Warrior and especially Priest atm.
At first I've dealt with Grim Patrons easily. Only recently I had some problems with them. They're not that hard to deal with unless their combo "clicks" while you don't have means to remove them... Priest is more of a problem, but he always was :/ He's healing always brings him on top if you don't dispose of him quickly. This class is a master of endurance. And recently I'm seeing a lot of Resurrect which makes him even more troublesome (this spell always seems to bring the exact same minion on which I wasted a lot of resources the turn before :/).
But that's the nature of Hearthstone. One day it's win after win, the other I'm loosing like an amateur

Just opened a pack and got my second clockwork giant. 
Do they fit into any kind of deck? Maybe one of those annoying rouge deck?

Nah, never used one, though I don't like Mill decks in general. He was useful only once: when I pulled him via Unstable Portal so his cost was reduced nicely Maybe he could see some play with Mechwarpers. I don't see him played much, just like Anima Golem
Dust him, one is enough either for the collection or eventual play Me? I dusted I golden one once... very useful

I think I just quit Hearthstone. 8 Zoo and 3 hunters was my last 1 hour of playing. This is not what I want to spend my time on. Good riddance!
Edit. Oh well, yeah, I don't quit.. but it is unfair that aggro is so favored. You get tons more gold. No reason rally not be aggro. The you face them 80-90% of the time. Makes no sense...

Don't forget Handlock Warlock or Grim Warrior. Those ones are also irritating...
Just auto-concede if you see a Warlock or Hunter (also, Priest in my case )... oh wait, you're playing ranked 
Personally I'm getting bored with Hearthstone. Maybe a new Legendary to build a deck around would be nice, but with my recent luck there's no hope for it (and I don't even have an idea for what to craft next). Grinding for meh packs is becoming a nuisance. Hmm, maybe I'll try to finally go for that Jaraxxus...
Hearthstones main problem is coming back like a boomerang (after some short breaths of fresh air each time new cards are introduced): the game does not encourage you to experiment with decks cause it's still better to go the easy way and play high win-ratio decks. Otherwise you feel like you're wasting your time...

Which cards are the most important to craft at the moment?
I am nearing the point where I have a lot of dust and I am able to create one of the good cards.
But is it just Dr. Boom?

Boom is always the first choice. Fits into any deck (well maybe rush/low mana ones will do without him). I know this from my experience.
Aside from him I don't know, Sylvanas? Or maybe Alexstrasza? Those will always find some use. Apart from that maybe a class specific one like Tirion or Antonidas, if you have a class your playing a lot atm...

So the order would be Dr.Boom -> Sylvanas -> Ragnaros. As much as I hate Dr. Boom it did increase my winrate immediately when I crafted him. It just makes your deck stronger. Sylvanas/Ragnaros are pretty even in my book. It would depend on the decks you like to play
Alextraza is maybe too situational for early crafting. I'd only use him in a deck that does no damage before turn 9 (Control Warrior, Freeze Mage) or if you need the heal (Warlock in some Dragon deck).

It's a she  Yeah, though she's popular I don't find that many uses for her. I practically only use her for healing myself in a Warlock deck (Warlock always has a problem with Health ). I crafted her some time ago instead of Jaraxuss, cause supposedly she can be used as a substitute for him, yet she's a neutral card so finds use in more decks. I also wanted her for Adventures, cause her ability is useful against Heroic bosses (thus she can be found in many "beat him" decks). But yeah, definitely not a must-have...

Yeah, I was the same, but ultimately Hearthstone is all about raising your chances of winning (fun? yeah right, who cares  )
Btw today I've got Anima Golem in a pack which was a subject of a recent discussion here Maybe I'll try him in a Zoo deck. He seems like a perfect "oh no, trouble card!" for your opponent (with no AoE spells it's hard for your opponent to smash all those little and sticky minions imo)... or maybe I'll make a crazy Warlock mech deck with Fel Reavers and Fel Cannons
While I definitely have no luck for Legendaries nowadays I must say that I have some luck in filling up my card collection. With the said Anima Golem I also recieved two more cards that I didn't have (classic common stuff like Lightwarden and a second Muster for Battle, and I only use one, but it's still better then a 20th Lepper Gnome). Not much left to go, but aside from Legendaries I still miss some useful cards like Cabal Shadow Priest or Doomhammer...

Indeed. it is all about winning, but it is fun to win?
Oh and yes I haven't tried the Anima Golem yet myself. But I still think he can be quite fun to play with
EDIT: And there he is Dr. Boom. Now I will just put him into all of my decks
