rate my freeze mage

[Deleted]

Was planning to make one badass mage deck for allround kickassing!

2x ice lance
2x frostbolt
2x doomsayer
2x loot hoarder
2x novice engineer
2x arcane intellect
2x frost nova
2x ice barrier
2x ice block
2x acolyte of pain
2x cone of cold
2x fireball
2x blizzard
flamestrike
archmage antonidas
alexstrasza
pyroblast

Sadly I don't have thalnos and no dust left

thank you in advance!

take out the Loot Hoarders for Mad Scientists
take out Antonidas, he's too slow. Put in another Loot Hoarder, since you don't have Thalnos.
take out Cone of Cold for Mirror Images
take out one Acolyte of Pain for a Cold Light Oracle or Loot Hoarder.

Two Acolytes is overkill, and many times you will overdraw yourself.

I'd swap Novice Engineers for Mad Scientists, Novice Engineer is just an all round crap card imo.
As said above Antonidas is way too slow (get Alexstraza!!!).
The rest looks fine though.

With freeze Antonidas works really well actually. Turn 10 you play Antonidas, Frost bolt and Icelance. That's 7 damage + They have to kill him and you gain 12 damage in fireballs.

I always imagine things like Frost Bolt & Ice Lance get used trying to sustain early game before you can start Nova/Cone/Blizzard or if you don't draw into them.

In general, if you're using spell damage cards on something other than face as a (non giant) freeze mage, you've more or less already lost the game. Basically the only way you can win from a position where you've nuked a couple of minions is a nice Antonidas play.

I agree with Muto's suggestions (:

The thing you're playing for is:

Control until turn 9. Alex their face
Burn them to death with spells.

Using 1 Frostbolt or ice lance isn't terrible but if you're using both frostbolts and ice lances are creatures, you're in a bad spot.

Hell I've managed to even keep a coin before for Turn 10:

Anto, Coin, Frostbolt, Lance/Lance. That's 11 damage + 24 damage in fireballs.

That's essentially game.
