any way to combine this with burn style and odd mage so you won't need all the combo pieces and could still kill with only 1 automaton?, that way you could have options if you can't full combo. 

Pretty small chance to have all the needed cards in your hand at the same time, and you have to save a lot of cards, which means your options will be limited during the entire game. Molten reflection is also a dead card most of the time, and further dilutes the AoE damage.

I feel that this deck is a bit clumsy. You want to draw as many cards as you can to OTK yet you have to survive. And you're always having 3-5 cards in your hand that are useless since you need all cards to get the combo going (you need both Automatons in hand). You always have youthful brewmasters in your hand nad galvanizers but you need to have both automaton in your hand to play them.

As you are surviving you don't use your hero power, so you can't activate Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk .There are better OTK decks out of there. My first game I had a hand full of youthful brew masters, and you have to wait to have 2 automaton in hands to do the combo. This is truly a meme deck with a very low win percentage.

For example : what are you supposed to do with this hand ? I am stuck I can't do anything. And this happens a lot of time with this meme deck.

Here is my 5th game : What can I play on this turn ? 

I can't play Galvanizer because I only have 1 Automaton in my hand. I can't play meteor because it doen't clear the board. I can't play Fire Eater because it's part of the combo. I can't clear the board and I'm dead next turn.

 
I'm on my 8th game and my 8th loss, so I won't be testing this deck anymore.

If you're playing against aggro, don't try to OTK: use the combo cards to try and win the game. The OTK is an unavoidable win condition against control, but too slow against aggro. That's why I would not play the Frost Nova + Doomsayer package, which is good to stall but not to clear boards, and I would include Dragon's Fury instead (removing Arcane Intellect for consistency), Arcane Artificer to gain armor and Raven Familiar to draw your AOE (with Brewmaster, several times if needed).

I'm not saying that's going to be Tier 1 with that approach, but I think you should play it like a big spell mage if you're facing aggro to maximize your chances to win. 

Even vs Control I'm getting smashed, they pump out big minions or milling me since you need 7 or 8 cards to start getting the combo ready. 80% of decks are aggro / value decks right now, so playing this deck is exaclty like playing anti aggro mage but this deck is worse than anti aggro mage. This deck is good at rank 25 memes to be honest.

hmm, I agree that a control mage is a better fit, but I think we can improve the decklist.  It depends on the meta whether aggro is heavy or not.  I would cut Coldwraith, Arcane Tyrant, Pyromaniac, Ice Walker, and Raven Familiar.  I do not like Coldwraith because I want to be able to play a card like that on curve and get the battle cry ability. I also feel that if aggro is popular, like it always is, we will want some taunts.  I would rather put a taunt like Tar Creeper.  The reason I would remove Ice Walker is for a similar reason in that it is only included because you are playing Coldwraith.  In a control deck, it is better to have powerful cards that can 2 for 1 and get more value.  We are essentially creating a mini combo that at best draws a card?  Instead let us make an even stronger mini combo that not only draws cards but can be used for other things as well.  I like Celestial Emissary for this. It pumps all our board wipes. We also add Blast Wave.  Now we can deal 4 damage and fill our hand possibly.  It is also a 5 cost spell so fits our "big spell" theme.

So we filled 6 of our 10 slots leaving 4 left.  We want another late game powerhouse that can add great value. Sindragosa fits this and is great fodder for out hero power as well! Plus we need something that pressures opponents as we do not want to be doing a pure reactive game and slamming and 8/8 that we can get legendaries and 3/6 elementals from is great

honestly the last 3 slots are free, but I might consider adding Acolyte of Pain as we can ping it to draw cards and increase our hero power count, Doomsayer as it can clear a lot and slamming it early can buy us precious time to get to turn 5.  

I do like this build as I am a fan of control mage and have been playing it constantly (and really only it), as I feel it has a chance versus everyone.  I might consider also not going "big spell" if aggro becomes popular and going with some smaller cost board clears, however I see more people going big with decks.   

Great idea, but I think you're going the wrong route. The big spell mage shell is meant for pure control/fatigue, it doesnt support combo strategies well. I think it's better to get a blast from the past (lul), the old Freeze Mage shell!

-2 Dragon's Fury

-2 Pyromaniac

-2 Mind Control Tech

- Frost Lich Jaina

+2 Arcane Intellect

+2 Doomsayer

+2 Frost Nova

+1 Alexstrasza

You already have Jan'alai combo as a second win condition, no need for a third one, so its better to make your first one more consistent: more draw, better stall, and with Alex you only need 02 Automatons to kill your opponent the next turn in many matchups.

I also want to try out Spirit of the Hawk Instead of Artificer, to get both win conditions easier w/o trading one for another, but maybe that's too much, will require testing.

I guess it's possible, but I'm not sure about Freeze Mage shell working without Ice Block. Maybe if you include some Ice Walkers + Spirit of the Dragonhawk to AOE freeze opponent minions, which also helps activating Jan'alai... But I wouldn't remove Pyromaniac, cause you need some massive drawing potential to get the combo fast. It's gonna be fun to try and refine the deck, that's for sure. There are plenty of ways to build it!

Ice Walker doesn't AOE freeze with spirit of the dragon hawk. I think it might be intentional. If you go back and look at the reveal stream, Regis tries to do that combo and it only freezes the pinged minion. 

You're right, I didn't remember that interaction from the reveal stream. Then I even less sure that it's possible to replicate the Freeze Mage gameplan without Ice Block. 

Arcane Intellect is way better than Pyromaniac for this strategy, thats an odd mage only card I think. Making up for Ice Block is what Artificer is here for, armor is essential against aggro and combo. Not as good sure, but great nonetheless.

One of the devs confirmed the Ice Walker interaction was a bug and will be fixed before the set launches

that's wierd. shouldn't have been a bug since Ice Walker says "target". The Spirit's spillover effects shouldn't count as targets...

Good points, but Frost Lich Jaina is so strong that frost mage absolutely would want to run it as well. Great survival and wins entire matchups on its own.

Wouldn't fitting in an Alexstrasza make the whole combo way easier?

This deck is meh vs control decks and extremely bad vs aggro decks. It is just a meme deck, fun to play if you have combo, but don't expect to win.

So basiacally you have to gather 8 cards to pull that otk

I think the advantage is that you can use your combo pieces to accelerate Jan'alai / Ragnaros as an alternative, really powerful wincon. Both Clockwork and Fire-Eater makes the Loa's activation much easier, and then Brewmasters and Zola help you cast several Ragnaroses. So you have a combo for inevitability, but you also have a regular game plan which is strong. The only 'dead' cards are Galvanizers in that case, but you could simply discount Clockworks a little bit to accelerate Jan'alai too.

I'm also wondering if adding the new Mage AOE with Overkill would be good to kill your own small combo pieces (Galvanizer, Brewmaster, Zola - previous ping) and get free spells from them. As a value generator. But probably not... Too much work, too weak card.

nice!
