Yet to be tested.
More card draw? Add Stargazer Luna if that's the case, or Novice Engineers? (or Bloodmage Thalnos maybe)
Drop Sunreaver Warmage? Drop Flamestrikes as well if that's the case?
Would Cone of Cold be a good idea?
Add Cosmic Anomaly and Shooting Star?
Is Sorcerer's Apprentice worth it?
I see that this deck has gained a lot of traction, but be warned, that doesn't mean it's good. I haven't had the time to test it yet, and I suspect this meta is not the best for it (because of control warrior). If in doubt, don't craft it!
I would add kadghar+jan'alai for the warrior, this can easily beat down their armor and open a way to play Alexstrasza.
The main problem in my opinion is survivability, aggro can easily put you in leeroy range, even warrior with his bombs and the weapon can be fast enouth.
Sorry for bad English.
I really like this version and I try it. Sorcerer's apprentice works. You can change sorcerer's apprentice thought to archmage vargoth. Also, archmage is a real global taunt.
I see Paracletus, I upvote.
Jokes aside, I think it is a wrong timing for Freeze Mage. Warriors are everywhere and that matchup is dreadful.
A man of culture I see ;)
Yeah you're probably right, although I hope it turns out ok once things settle down
I'm interested in trying this but with Archivist Elysiana
I don't recommend it as it doesn't fit the deck's gameplan, but you do you :)
after thinking about it I don't think it'll fit either.
How about magic trick? Discover a frost nova to stall, research project to draw, ray of frost for antonidas/to stall or frostbolt for face damage
Edit: and itself combos with antonidas too
I thought about it, but I don't know what to cut for it. I'll have to run the math on the possible discoveries to see if it's worth it
@ Both
I personally think, that we should wait and see how the RoS meta looks like. If control decks are somewhat popular, then Magic Trick would be really helpful, because it will add more synergies to your deck (i.e. Stargazer Luna, Archmage Antonidas). Regarding its discoveries, here's a link to them:
https://www.hearthpwn.com/cards/ability?filter-show-standard=y&filter-premium=1&filter-cost-val=3&filter-cost-op=5&filter-class=16&display=3
So as you can see, it's more likely to find a secret than burn/stall, but in a slower meta the risk would be worth it. Sorcerer's Apprentice would be really useful in combination with Archmage Antonidas and 1-cost or cheaper spells, as you transform them into Fireballs.
Considering Freeze Mage myself, I feel as though Cosmic Anomaly is a must-have in this deck. It's good burst (usually at least 4, much more if it sticks) and a must remove target for opponents. I like the general direction though, good job.
Thanks! Yeah, Cosmic Anomaly sounds like a good addition to the deck, probably alongside Shooting Star. Definitely worth testing once the expansion goes live.
Kovachut has that package on his list, keep an eye on that one too: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1249301-ros-freeze-burn-mage
You don't even need Shooting Star. Just add Cosmic Anomaly and with the damage spells already in the deck, you can increase the burst potential by a large amount. You could also drop the Sorcerer's Apprentice, there's no need for it.
You're most likely right, the more I think about it the more I like it. I'd still rather test the list as it is though
