This is the deck I used to complete the Temple Escape fight on Heroic difficulty in Wing 1 of the League of Explorers adventure.
The goal was to create something budget-friendly that anyone should be able to use.
How it Works
This fight is super simple and is very hard to mess up with Freeze Mage. If you don't get any freeze in your opening hand, mulligan for it.
- Draw cards.
- Freeze everything.
- Laugh your way to victory.
Choice Selections
You're given some choices to make during the adventure.
- Turn 1 - Take the mana crystal from Wade Through.
- Turn 2 - I personally just took 5 damage via Walk Across Gingerly, but you can opt for the RNG of 10 damage or no damage. If you take 10, you're still very likely to win - you can always concede and remake if you want.
- Turn 4 - Touch It to restore 10 health. If you aren't at full, you'll be near it.
- Turn 7 - You should be able to handle either option thanks to the power of Freeze Mage. I decided that I was afraid of the darkness and said No Way! to Reno Jackson.
Secrets
- Mad Scientist is here to help us get our Ice Block onto the field.
- I've opted to include Ice Barrier in the deck just in case you can't draw ice block and have bad luck drawing all your freeze.
Drawing Cards
- I've included several cards in the deck to draw cards. You don't ever need to use the adventure's methods for extra card draw, always take the other option - Gain Mana Crystal, and Heal 10 Health.
Card Options
- Doomsayer, a Freeze Mage staple, is a solid addition to the deck. I'd remove the Novice Engineers for it.
- Big Game Hunter can help remove minions. Everything on Heroic is a target for it.
- You really shouldn't need 2x Ice Block, I didn't even need the first one. Can be helpful if RNG screws you over though. If you don't have Ice Block at all, just throw in something else that draws you cards,or a low cost taunt minion.
This worked for me, I dont have Ice Block so I used Big Game Hunter and Bloodmage Thalnos
I recommend Mirror Image instead of Flame Lance.
thank you, bro
Ok, I must be really stupid, but I can't get this to work at all. By turn five it always looks pretty much like this:
I'm quite curious as to how you handle this situation.
I was getting killed on this turn as well. Took maybe 6 or 7 tries before i got the right draw.
The boss clears the board soon after this turn, and the first time i got to the point where he cleared the board was the time i won,
You can replace Ice Block with Vaporize
Thanks, vaporize helped a lot!
1st try :) very easy, you can take a bit of damage so that u can heal up for 10
used this deck and won on my 2nd try by replacing both Acolyte of Pain x2 with Coldlight Oracle x2. For the 200 dust difference and a more immediate, consistant (because u dont have to wait for acolyte to get hit), and immense card draw (acolyte will get u one card unless u waste mana by pinging it or you so happen to hit the 1/1 spawned by the Obsidian Destroyer ) i found it much more effective.
and ps. if u dont have it already, u better craft it soon, mill rogue is coming back :))))))) *#MillRenoJackson (cuz top reno jackson mage deck has coldlight in it. whats better than 8 coldlight oracles? 9)
Won on the first try. I used a BGH and a Vaporize instead of the 2 Ice Blocks that i don't have. It was incredibly easy, just keep the enemys frozen as much as possible and abuse of the turn where everything is killed by the falling ceiling.
won first try, thanks!
Thanks for the deck worked my 1st try!!
Got it on the first try, even with terrible draws. Great deck!
Great deck, won on the 1st try, I replaced a Blizzard with a Frost Elemental
First time and easily great deck for this
I made a cheap freeze mage deck as well without using epics, but used more taunts instead of card draw. I think Coldlight Oracle is card draw enough. Here is some game play.
Just works.
Sir i must say this deck is very nice, well done. Funny and easy won at 2nd try just because in the 1st i did a missclick :P, thank you!
Won on my second try, first one I got a bit unlucky with drawing mass freezing. Very solid deck & concept!
I beat Heroic Temple Escape with a fairly similar Freeze Mage of my own - but even more budget efficient version. To those who doesn't own Ice Block - you can easily replace it with Vaporize. Good luck!
