Spellguard Wizard can do what you want, by making Area Bursts into Close Blasts. Not an amazing PP, but it lets you use a lot more powers how you want to.

Gonna second the wrathvoker/morninglord, though a well built thunderwave/polearm momentum wizard would be fun as hell to play.

Personally, I love the idea of doing an enchanter mage with beguiling strands -> Divine Oracle with glasya's charming words and a jagged dagger.
It's a party friendly CB5 that pushes, and has a pretty good chance to dominate at least one target.

If you're looking to have ALL close blast powers, go Dragon Sorc (they're one fo the few ones who can take blasts-only as every power choice, with the exception of there only being a single blast at-will.)
Are you looking for anything in particular thematically, or are you just looking to play the most powerful blaster you can? If you're looking for a powerhouse, go invo.

Friendly invoker powers? I don't think there are any.
Wait, you're being sarcastic, right? The whole point of the Preservation build is that you want allies in your blasts. I'm not saying it's the optimal path, but it's there.

The theme is the character Omar from the HBO series, The Wire. I had a another thread discussing different ways to represent Omar, but I'm intrigued by the idea of playing him as a close blast specialist. it doesn't have to be the most "powerful" blaster. I'm OK with unfriendly powers so Wrathvoker might work. I'll play with some of the ideas posted here in the character builder to see if it leads me somewhere. Thanks for all the great responses. Keep them coming!

Visions of Blood is an At-Will close blast with amazing control feat support. I don't know about Encounters, but the At-Will is amazing. It also goes very well with the Keeper of the Nine Paragon Path that allows you to create difficult terrain in all of the squares around you every time you use a close attack power

If you are looking for bigger blasts for more control, I would go Wizard with Beguiling strands. It doesn't do much damage, but it is a friendly close blast 5 with a 3 square push and I think that it is worth it. If you are going for damage then don't ask me

To add to the Invoker comments, the Wrathful and Malediction builds usually are not party friendly but the Preservation builds are very friendly and buff allies.
I'd suggest a hybrid invoker/wizard and choose preservation as the covenant rider. The stats match and you can cherry pick the best powers of each class. With the preservation rider, you can also make 1 or 2 allies shift out of a blast when you use an invoker encounter or daily and they have some good encounter based ally movement utility powers.

And if you're going friendly, Coordinated Explosion is an easy bonus.
This is CharOp. We not only assume block-of-tofu monsters, but also block-of-tofu DMs.
One reach cheese'd threatening reach Spiked Chain shuts down any non-teleporting quarterback.
You're already refluffing, what not refluff to something that doesn't suck?
