New ARAM for Mages?

Easy question on this one. Someone help me figure out the new ARAM build for mages. Used to be lost chapter for mages for best regen, now I'm struggling to figure out how to even stay RELEVANT in an ARAM game. 3 - 5 spell rotations and I'm pretty much done till death.

Anyone finding some reasonable build path for efficient mana regen so that you can actually play the game?

I realize that ARAM is not the game mode 90% of the player base gives a crap about, and Riot CERTAINLY doesn't give a lick about the game mode balance wise, but there's got to be something to at least make the game playable as a mage now.

The new Ludens is excellent and the build path is stellar

Edit: I also take clarity on almost all mages

item 3007 now has 20% CDR so it's probably worth it on most mages in aram

I generally liked tear and their resulting items in aram even before the change (as its power that'll scale up without the need to buy), so new AA staff seems like a good bet.

Ludens: No MR. Useless early. AA Appears to be the only item that does anything close to mana regen, and you need the full item for that.

WHere the hell is the lost chapter replacement, or are mages too powerful with mana?

Lost Chapter into Luden's works for most mages. The changes to Archangel's make it a possible consideration now too, but Luden's splash is really useful for applying spell effects (e.g. Morello or Liandry).
