Patience Mage Deck. Can we make it viable ?

Hey everyone!

I was wondering what cards do you consider "key" cards in order to make a Mage Patience deck viable (personally I'm missing Shani which I consider a good support card if you manage to make it stick to the board). Wasn't around Gwent during the time Patience cards were introduced and if you play frequently, however in the current state, it's easy to assume that almost every deck can give you a hard time due to the fact that they can develop with less effort in comparison to you. Would love to see some more love to a Patience archetype in the future.

It's been almost 3 months that I took a break from playing Hearthstone due to the fact that games are too fast nowadays whereas my cup of tea would be a more slow and strategic meta. So I'm loving the game so far even though it's not my first time playing it (I've been around when the game had 3 rows instead of two) I managed to reach rank 5 by spending 2-3 hours per day and I am loving the game and hope that Gwent will get the recognition it deserves
