Stab at standard format version of Thijs's burnin' freeze mage.
Took out one ice barrier and added in a kirin tor, flamestrike and one loot horder, for a little more early game and cycle in the absence of the mad scientists.
In standard there should be a little less early pressure and aggro (except for Shamans) so deck could still run well without the early scientists.
this deck has not done good beetween my hands, but in another freez mage deck i found that illuminator was really OP. hf
A good job by the developers when you can rek the new decks with a good old freeze mage deck without any new card at all. The nerfs were plenty and good...oh wait.
Anyway, the deck is very good. I sometimes run into the problem of going down in health too fast too early so (like others suggested) an apothecary may be appropriate!
Two games with this deck: Ranked Gameplay
Cheers.

-1 Karin tor -1 enginer +1 apothecary +1 antonidas
Why no Archmage Antonidas? Seems to be your win condition against C'Thun warriors...
Almost usually a instant loss against Warrior due to them just stacking armour to the point where your combo can't kill him. Usually just concede when i see a Warrior
the way you beat c'thun warriors is super aggressively cycling through your deck and killing them before they stack armor. also never use any burn on their minions, except an armorsmith. and hopefully you get lucky with alex emperor and all your aoes, dooms and secrets are near the bottom of the deck
I replaced 1x Novice Engineer, 1x Acolyte of Pain and 1x Cone of Cold for 1x Ice Barrier and 2x Cult Apothecary for much needed Healing.
physically impossible to defeat a C'thun priest with a freeze mage. 0-4.
everything else is reasonable.
I have very good win rate against C'thun priest also.
I'd say it's pretty important to bait out one of those +10 heals before Alex, but if you can do that, they get rekt.
Not a single WoG Card. So fun and excite!
any thoughts on anamolous?
anyone considered Shatter im using it and its good for removing big minions
i think you dont really need this, you already have a lot of minion only spells like Blizzard, Cone of cold and the doomsayer. Shatter is totally unnecessary.
I've been playing a similar list, but -1 Kirin Tor Mage and +1 Blizzard
Isn't 2x Blizzard better than 1 Blizzard and 1 Flamestrike
Can i replace Forgotten torch and Thalnos with something else?
No Malygos?
Can I replace Bloodmage Thalnos with Malygos? What's a substitute for Kirin Tor Mage?
I know a lot of people are just giving you the ol' -1 without saying why, but let me explain why Malygos isn't what you want in Freeze Mage:
The idea is to use Frost Bolt to freeze your opponent, then double ice lance and fireball/torch to kill them. Like Lotos45 said down below,
This is how you end the game, use Alextrasza, then hit them with a 15+ damage combo to kill them. You can also wear them down to 16-20 and kill from there for the games where you don't draw your red dragon queen. Emperor Thaurissan can allow you to do well over 30 damage as well, and some decks use Sorceror's Apprentice or Kobold Geomancers to do it, but this version uses more dig sources to find the burst rather than more burst sources.
Hope this helps.
Disappointed in all of you. No one is asking the important questions. Which card do you replace Yog with?
