Wand + Spell is easy to deal with. Seeking Dispel + Dissolve. Works from 0-1, but both are Quick Spells. Get close, take a hit (or put Wall of Fog, if you don't want to), then move and cast them both. Done. The opponent also losses the Thunderbolt. Putting that aside, I haven't seen yet any instance of a player being able to keep casting Thunderbolt more than three times in a row, there's always something more important to deal with, that and mana shortage.

Don't take this as an insult (that's not my intent at all), but you don't seem to be a person who understands this game well - the basic idea behind it that is. You don't seem to notice the level of balancing that went into it.
As it stands now, I sadly expect you to come to this forum every time you find something hard to deal with.

Because believe me, you haven't seen "broken" yet in this game.

How about a suppressor deck, which shuts down almost entire spell books?
Warlock (or Mage, but that is trickier) with Deathlock, Suppresion Orb, Idol of Pestilence and Mordok's Obelisk. Try to deal with that. Even two of those shrines significantly hinder summoner mages, if the Warlock manages to get 3 into play then it gets really hard. Creatures wont help you, you can't fight the warlock hand to hand, and the shrines sit comfortably at the opposite end of the map. And he comes at you with a skeleton or some equipment. You need to grind your teeth and send costly minions (upkeep) to deal with the shrines or accept an uneven hand to hand duel. How about that for a "broken" combo. This suppressor deck is really good against summoner decks, especially if reinforced with 1 Tanglevine or some Fog Walls to protect the shrines.

So - to end on a positive note - instead of worrying about strong spells, find the way to counter them and work it into your deck. That's what this game is about. Don't get discouraged and tinker around and look for a solution.
