My version of frost giants with strong mid-game creatures and combos. It's a fun deck to play with although easily countered by heavy aggro decks.

Strategy

The general strategy for this deck is to drop your strong 4 drops mid-game, make your opponent burn their removals, get to 10 health, drop Molten Giants, stay alive with Ice Barrier, Alexstrasza, and freeze spells, and beat your opponents with huge creatures and burn spells.

Don't hesitate to use your Ice Block early unless it's a hunter. Making your opponents second guess every move could be an advantage. Spellbender is used to protect your creatures from removal. Try to save for your Molten Giants, Alexstrasza, and Archmage Antonidas.

Don't summon Archmage Antonidas too early unless you are quite certain that he will stay alive for at least 1 turn. Try to use him turn 10 and use one of the 3 crystal spells or save your coin for a guaranteed 2 Fireballs.

Use Alexstrasza almost exclusively for yourself unless on the unlikely event that you have 15 damage on the board. Avoid summoning her if you have Ice Block up.

Always use Frost Nova before any other freeze unless if there are less than 4 opposing creatures; in which case use Cone of Cold. If the opposing hero can attack save your Frostbolt and summon your Water Elemental as soon as you can.

Mulligan

When deciding what to mulligan try to get the following combos: Arcane Intellect + Twilight Drake, or Ice Barrier / Spellbender + Ethereal Arcanist. Water Elemental is also a great card to keep since it is a strong creature by itself.

Replacements

Replacing the legendaries might be close to impossible. Alexstrasza and Ice Block are irreplaceable and mandatory for this deck. I wouldn't advise playing this deck without them. Archmage Antonidas is a win condition in itself if he can survive for 1 to 2 turns. Ragnaros the Firelord might be the closest card that can replace him. Counterspell can replace Spellbender but the former can be popped but low priority utility spells like The Coin.
