Welcome fellow mages,

I hit the legend rank with this deck on S28.

This deck contributed most on my way to legend and I think at the moment, with the absence of warriors, freeze mage is Tier 1 deck if you play it wisely. I hit the legend with a fast 5-0 run in rank 1 after grinding between rank 2-3 for a long time.

Game plan is simple but the deck is hard to play. You have to make careful and smart decisions since there are lots of Hunters equipped with flares and secret eaters. Almost everyone runs at least one Eater of Secrets. Even I saw one priest with double eater of secrets too...

In my journey this month games with this deck lasted about 10 to 12 rounds so you have to draw and ready your burst as fast as you can.

Mulligan is simple as it can be.

Always go with Mad Scientist, Loot Hoarder, Acolyte of Pain.

Frostbolt, Ice Lance and Forgotten Torch is also welcomed if you meet with fast decks. If you face with control decks you can keep Emperor Thaurissan.

About game plan, after 5th turn try to keep your health over 15. Use your freezing tools mindfully, I personally like to freeze with Blizzard first then use Frost Nova. This way you can combo Frost Nova with other cards.

Always count your damage, calculate next 2 turns ahead and play like the worst can happen next turn.

Keep your Ice Block in your hand until you are sure you are going to close the game in two turns. The dream defense is combining discounted Alexstrasza with Ice Block.

Same as always with Freeze Mage you have two main winning options:

1) Wait for Alex and hold the door while searching for 15 damage then end the game on turn 10-12

2) Collect burn spells early, smash the emperor discount your spells, then start freezing board and damaging your opponents untouched face with your discounted burst.

May the force be with you and don't forget to use your pings wisely!

Edit: After climbing to 5th rank meta gets slower so I exchanged loot hoarder with BMT cause he is much more flexible plus spell damage always give you the needed edge and NO he is NOT replaceable with kobold geomancer, you always need that extra card draw.

You can try Archmage Antonidas in a slower meta for more control orientated play or Malygos for surprising effect.

*Still using same deck. There are lots of pallys so this deck keeps on rocking! Waiting for Karazhan if something new will come up.
