^Those are good picks. They are quite strong and viable at this time. Cass is a different breed of mage: she's a Chaser-Nuker with a good early poke or two. She harasses and nukes through area control similar to Karthus, but is far more specific in her role. The opposite of Cass would probably be Anivia, who wants to hang behind lines if she isn't ambushing and play zone-control with her ultimate, wall, Q and punish anyone who defies her with an icicle nuke to the face.

Karthus fits nicely between the two, with Area Control like Anivia with Wall and Defile, but also good harass/poke with Lay Waste.
