Burn deck. Squize as much dmg as you can and make the opponent feel the frostbite.

Card choices:

  • Bone Breaker - Best 1 drop to play on turn 1. 8 dmg for 1 mana is just great. Try to always mull for it.
  • Thassarian - great tempo play on turn 4. Probably best turn 4 play.

Burn/Frost package:

  • Frost Strike - helps with tempo and create's value. You almost always find (and pick) direct/face dmg with it.
  • Glacial Advance - 4 dmg is OK. Good for tempo with our cheap spells.
  • Howling Blast - Board control OR Burn. Freeze also helps a lot. 
  • Remorseless Winter - Board control with Burn and draw. Sweet.
  • Frostwyrm's Fury - Finisher. Our best card in the deck.

TRAP cards:

  • Horn of Winter - Does not ramp. And the tempo is not worth the card. We need as much burn as possible. You have cards that tutor frost spells and you never want HORN... However sometimes usesful so I take it as per discover, if no better option (no burn)
  • Invincible - slow and we do not have a undead package. Not worth it to keep a 8 mana card in hand... And sometimes without target on turn 8.. BAD... Our deck needs all the tempo it can get.
  • Irondeep Trogg - NOT GOOD IN THE META. ONLY good vs coin. 2 health? Not worth it with a lot of DK having great turn 1 non spell removals for it.
  • Runeforging - Overseer Frigidara
  • Ymirjar Frostbreaker - only good in a 30 card deck. As we are playing 40 cards, its difficult to have 2 frost spells in hand (start of the game). 

Draw:

Cards to consider depending on meta: Switch depending on your needs.

  • Sylvanas, the Accused - just a good card. 5/5, destroy a minion? Nice. Do not expect to trigger the steal effect, but sometimes it will happen. Clean (and only in FROST) answer to tempo Sire Denathrius - as we dont have kill spells (but we can freeze him ^^)
  • Deathchiller - Helps with tempo and there are not a lot of good on curve 2 mana minions for this deck. 
  • Vicious Slitherspear - Nice 1 mana play. 3 health is key as it is easy to deal 2 dmg byt the opp.
  • Frostmourne - Slow but still... 15dmg
  • Body Bagger - fine card
  • Crooked Cook - Fine to include. You will draw a card in most cases.
  • Incorporeal Corporal - Good 2 mana play and really strong + 5 face dmg OR board control.

BIG UPDATE (Reason: NERFS - Deck adjusted for new meta - tested by me - currently over 60% WR)

Removed:

  1. Sire Denathrius - NERF to infuse 2
  2. Queen Azshara - No space and slow.
  3. Defrost - not worth it, we need the corpses for other stuff.
  4. Theotar, the Mad Duke - no need as we want to burn our op.
  5. Prince Renathal - 35 health = BAD and not worth it for tempo decks.
  6. Might of Menethil - No space.
  7. Astalor Bloodsworn - SLOW and with Renathal nerf, the meta will be faster
  8. Brann Bronzebeard - No space and slow.
  9. Marrow Manipulator - SLOW
  10. Rime Sculptor - SLOW

ADDED:

  1. Rimefang Sword - really good to reduce the cost of our burn spells - you almost always keep it in the opening hand
  2. Guild Trader - our main finisher with burn spells 
  3. Icy Touch - cheap burn spell that also freezes face/minion if needed
