all of these are quite strong mages. malzahar is the premier facemelting mage, able to finish off most enemies in a single combo. kennen has infinite harass in lane and stuns the whole enemy team consistently, while still having good escape mechanisms. swain as a tanky dps mage has good sustain and sustained damage with his ult and good cc, but is sadly countered by ignite and executioners calling and the like. cass is also not a burst character like malz and deals very good sustained damage, but has to be quite close to be effective. her ult is sometimes hard to place and can be a gamebreaking aoe stun. brand can burst and has a high aoe damage potential and is one of the best solo mids to date. karthus has a very good wall slow that amplifies his high sustained aoe damage even further and is known to stop team pushes all by himself with his passive and can be a pain to deal with when he packs revive and teleport, and his ult is a global /all trololol.
