Welcome to my new deck.

First of all I want to say that this deck is really strong in the new meta. The only matchup that is really bad is Warrior. Against Controll Warrior and C'Thun Warrior this deck will loose 99% of the time. There is a better probability to win vs Patron, but still not very high.

FF can not be used on the face, but it can be used in different ways!
- Controll the board: You dont want to waste Frostbold or Fireball to kill a minion. Use FF
-Trigger Deathrattle or Acoylite: Sometimes you can't use that 2 mana Ping to kill your own minion. Use FF, save 2 mana and cast the spell that saves you

Edit: I took out one FF for Ice Cone, works better against the aggro decks

Favored Matchups:
- Priest --> Reason: Because this is an OTK Mage and Priest is a slow matchup, you have all the time in the world to win. Win chance= 90%
- Rogue --> Reason: Because this is OTK and Rogue needs some time to develope his board, you again have a lot of time. With a bad draw you are still able to get into the game if you can stall for some time. Win Chance= 75%
- Mage --> Against other types of Freeze Mage it is a skill and draw matchup. Win Chance= 50%
Against Yog this is clearly favored, but because it is Yogg you can loose because of his RNG. Win Chance = 75%

Against Temp Mage you are favored but not that much, as he can SMOrc you if he has a good draw. Win Chance = 60%

- Paladin --> Very good Matchup, only trouble could be a Aggro Paladin but I haven't encountered any. Overall Win Chance = 80%

- Druid --> Druid is a hard matchup, as he can be really fast and at the same time deal with the Doomsayer. Win Chance= 60%

- Shaman --> Hard matchup. If the Shaman has a normal draw and you do not draw Frost Nova, Doomsayer or Blizzard (probably already dead if you rely on it) you will get killed to quick to respond. Win Chance = 55%

- Warlock --> It can be a good matchup. This is a tricky deck to play against because Zoo puts himself into lethal position everytime he draws a card with hero power. For me this matchup is around 70% against Zoo, but if you do not know how to play against it, it will be hard. Against Reno this is clearly favored, as RenoLock takes too much time and time is all you need. The ComboRenoLock is a little bit hard to play against. Overall Win Chance= 70%

- Hunter --> FaceHunter is a problem as he can run away with the game if you do not have key cards like Frost Nova. Win Chance= 50%
Against Slower Hunter Matchups it is favored, but not by much. WinChance= 60%

 

 

Thins to keep in mind:

- This is OTK Freeze Mage. Frost Bold and 2x Ice Lances are 25 Dmg with Malygos. For this, Malygos doesnt have to be reduced by 1, just the Frost Bold and both Icelances. For a perfect OTK with Both Frostbolds, you either need all key cards to be reduced by one or you keep Coin if one Frostbold hasn't been reduced. 
- What is different about the other Malygos Deck I made is that you have Forbidden Flame. With Malygos and 0 Mana left, it still does 5 Dmg. You can use it to do even more DMG or to Controll the enemy board.

- Because it is OTK, you don't need Alextrasza. You don't care if the enemy has 30 Hp. It does improve you chances vs Warrior, but just slightly.

 

How to play:

- In the starting hand you can have different things. Ice Block, Arcane Intellect, Frost Nova, Novice or Loot Hoarder. This can vary with certain matchups, but Card Draw is essential

- You just need time to draw the right cards. If you know that the enemy has few to non Heal and there is no pressure on board, you can use FireBall and Forgotten torch aggressive to keep him down on HP

-Use Thaurisan to reduce key cards. This includes Malygos, Frostbold and Ice Lance.

 

This is my very first full guide. I hope it helped you and if you have any feedback I would love to hear from it.

Good Luck laddering!
