This is an excellent update on the classic otter pops freeze mage, although his choice of loot hoarder over novice engineer is incomprehensible.

A meta with no control warrior.

no control warriors, no hunter

You sound ridiculous, Antonidas is preferred by some players to have some sort of extra reach in games where you may have used burn for removal, Antonidas takes an extra turn essentially, but nevertheless is still a decent win condition.

I run both and find it works great, makes warrior/priest matchups a lil easier, just cut an acolyte your hands often too full anyway.

Don't DE your Antonidases kids, this guy is crazy. 

Hello, 

Arcane Intellect can be swapped for 2 Coldlight_Oracle ?

I think it might be better, you got additional card on the table.

No, Arcane Intellect is a must, if you like Oracles, sub them in for Acolytes.

I feel that Novice Ingeneer is better then Loot Hoarder because of the instant carddraw.

Not that it's a very big risk but Loot Hoarder can be silenced and you miss the draw. I also feel like the deck is to get Alexstrasza and the damage cards in your hand so I want to cycle through the deck so I can set upp my combo and end the game. And there is alot of freeze spells and other stuff so keeping the opponents minions away shouldn't be much harder without Loot Hoarder

Lost 10 games in a row so far, just in play mode. Not sure about this deck. 

This deck is fun, but gets manhandled by Hunter, which unfortunately means +50% of the the ladder :-(

I agree, people come here write a freeze mage and you change ONE CARD and now its NEW freeze mage.
People need to start being creative or dont write at all guides. Quality over Quantity.

dude this just the classic freeze mage and one more flamestrike is way better than the pyroblast

Pyroblast is needed. More often than not you won't have enough burn to kill your opponent. You don't always get Alex + 2x fireball + frostbolt or something that does 15+ damage. Also, sometimes you can just take your opponent down from full health within 3 turns if you feel like your opponent can't kill you.

Freeze mage is always fun to go back to when the meta is right for it :)

Meh I used this deck months ago and yes I had pyroblast instead of Archmage because I didn't have him. Also I had novice engineer instead of Mad Scientist because they didn't exist back then.

Calling it this dude's freeze mage when TidesofTime and Hyped popularized it card for card except for the Pyro/Antonidas switch is a bit disingenuous.

+1 This kind of deck was insane when pyro was 8 mana... Like unbetable :p. But some ppl started to play 2 days ago and they just dont know... So the easy flame is always the best seems

Classic freeze mage ran double mirror image, double novice engineers, and double azure drakes. Hyped and Timesoftime updated the list with mad scientists and adjusted it for the meta with loot hoarders and double cone of cold, the latter for which they were originally mocked for playing mind you. Xbeherit's list brings nothing new to the table. And yes, the reason there is so much freeze mage on ladder now, even with all the hunters to feed on them, is because of the two of them popularizing it, or re-popularizing it if it makes you feel any better.
