Hi! Again Tsasware with another archetype,this time is a control deck!
I'm working on it for climbing atm rank 5!
Here follow the main concept :
First of all, i prefer to don't play tiers 1 decks,since s1 i always try to fit [card]Ethereal Arcanist[/card] and other cards that can "grow" on their own,that's why we need asap theIce Block on the ground. The other card that i'm love atm is the Illuminator,rly too strong versus aggros decks and good versus others archetype mid-range,versus control is just decent.
Your job with this deck is to survive and draw more cards possibles thanks to cards like :
[card]Acolyte of Pain[/card] and [card]Arcane Intellect[/card] we will able to have a decent "stamina" about cards in hands,or draw engine.
About the rest cards are more setuped for controls vs controls,since i was just facing till rank 5 control warriors/tempo mage/hunters/zoo and handlocks i just adapted the cards about the meta i was facing some days ago.
I won't to lie,the deck need more fixes for being good and need a meta-analysis to be rly strong.
I faced alot of problems versus the druid combo,sometimes crazy hands like thaurissian on 2nd turn are an auto gg for the loldruid. i'm thinking to put more tempo cards,but i have to test it. I will.
The core cards :
Ice Block: That's is my preferit secret, i love that card,no lies,that's secret can win you alot of games just when you place it with your madboy or played from the hand, you will smash the keyboard,ipad,device when someone will play Kezan Mystic,but sometimes not even the kezan can save their ass,if the rng god love you ofc. <.<
Illuminator : I'm in truly love with this card,is amazing! is sexy! She can illuminate your games versus hunters,you can barely trol a hunter with this card and healtrolbot.
Sylvanas Windrunner: Best card versus controls decks,sometimes you will just shot her with a fireball,best targhets are ysera,alot of time i'm able to do sylvanas+fireball my opponents if don't have a immediate response will concede.
[card]Alexstrasza[/card]: That dragon,is a real female, she fire,she protect you and with the amazing body 8/8 do the job,versus aggros win alone,if you manage to survive till she can fight for yo, you will not complain!
I will play this days to build a "good" build that manage our ass to hit the most rank we want!
MU:
Huntards : 70/30
Illuminator and Healbot +iceblock and Alexlove win you the games.
Control Warriors 50/50
About this mu,i rly don't know sometimes i win rly easy sometimes we go to fatigues phase,sometimes when they have the magic hands you will lose.
Aggro paladin : 50/50
I've to put 50/50 cuz if they draw the skill div favor you will live a nightmare if not we already know the story :P
Palamidrange
70-30 ;
Easy mu for us,the only chances for them is we just draw 7 mana cards for 5-6 turns.
Palacontrol 70-30 ;
Same story,we can easy outdraw them,just be carefull about put too many boyz at the ground equality+something can put you in troubles.
Ramp Druid : 55-45
versus the ramp version you are more confident,cuz they don't play the skill combo force +savage.
Combo druid : 30-70
Dunno, i tried alot of variantions,i'm not still able to beat them easy. On turn 8-9 they will destroy your ass, "ice-ass-block" will not manage you to the comeback most of times.
If you are facing alot of combo druids,i suggest you to switch to a more aggressive archetype. And pull on them the real balance.
Patrons boyz : 55-45
Well, i win most of my games versus patron,but there is a "but", if they are able to put a patron and trigger him at turn 5 you have to do something or is a easy gg,otherwise flamestrikes is your best friend at this mu.
Mulligans :
Always keep: Mad,illuminator,alcolyte.
Sub-in :
I'm working on it,but if you like to take alot of value you can try to put-in :
+2 Duplicate - 2 Acolyte, or another card that you don't feel the job inside the list.
Like i said, this deck is rly hard,if you do a mistake you will most of times lose the game. And require a good meta analysis and alot of change to be competitive and funny.
I will list a budget list soon,but is most aggro-tempo list then a control.
I'd love if you guys want to discuss about the deck and how to let it to be more competive :)!
Wanna be korean!
Cheers,

Here Khristophesaurus Dinosaurus playing it enjoy!
I removed unstable portal and changed for a duplicate instead. Might try the portal since I know it's a good deck and the mad scientist is a little bit worse if I also have duplicate.
But it's a really solid deck so far. Doing great but I'm just playing unranked since I lack the concentration to play ranked at work via phone. But yeah, it's good!
Any BGH sub?
It's a very good deck, but if you have a bad draw you are so doomed XD
I was actually looking for a deck using Ice Block, mine were only collecting dust lately :P Thanks so much for the deck idea!
needs duplicate for belchers rate up if agreed plz :D
Why unstable portal? I feel like it has no real purpose in this deck, maybe another Illuminator or Polymorph would rock?
Freeze/Tempo Mage plus Ethereal Arcanist and Illuminator? Looks playable to me!
I have to give it to you man. I've been doing awesome with this deck. I've probably lost 3 games, from Rank 16 to Rank 12. The only change I made was removing Ethereal Arcanist. I wasn't feeling that card, so it was replaced with Mirror Entity.
Haha yeah. I just couldn't get him to work for me. I removed explosive sheep and replaced it with Doomsayer. It's helped
Any good subs for the Ice Blocks?
ice barrier working great. great deck! Easy wins!
Lol ... that last priest i fought is ;)
I don't think antonidas fits the deck.You dont have nice cheap spells to trigger it.Cutting him and an arcane intellect in order to add double water elementals is waaay better.
Hey since im having trouble with controll warrior what could happen if i put malygos in here
Yeah you have a point...
This is the first time 2 scientists made sense with only 2 secrets and everyone is going nuts.
You wan't to have that secret asap so arcanist and illuminator can trigger.
I have coiped this deck. exept Archmage Antonidas, as i dont have it. Instead i've putted Pyroblast.
Well, i just played 4 games and 4 are won. All 4 games lasted 15+ minutes. I defeated control warrior, something like a hand-druid, mech-priest and mech mage. Quite satisfied. Thanks!
Thanks) And yes, Pyro is very OK. 2 times used as finisher. 2 times as a very necessary removal. In all situations I was glad, that I had it in hand.
may i ask at around which rank?
I have regular crashes on my ipad and loose many stars. so that 4 games was played at 17-16 rating on EU-region.
This deck is terrible in the current meta. Also, only 2 secrets and 2 Mad Scientists?? It's just way too slow, but nowhere near as high survivability as freeze Mage. I have no idea why it's getting so many votes. Also, why is Antonidas in this deck?? There's almost nothing to trigger him with!!
