Hey guys,
My name is Snuxi and im legend and "wannabe" pro player. I always liked the old aggro freeze mage, but it lost some of its core cards so it didnt seem so viable. So i came up with this list, it works pretty well and im currently trying to reach legend with this list.

General Strategy Create early pressure with minions and than stall the game with freezes 'till you find enough burst to kill your opponent.
Mulligan
Mana Wyrm Always keep
Mirror Image Keep only if u already have Sorcerer's Apprentice or Mana Wyrm
Frostbolt Keep against weapon classes and druid, but only 1 copy
Sorcerer's Apprentice Always keep
Flamewaker Keep only if u have coin and u dont need really fast start to win the game
Abusive Sergeant Keep if you already have Mirror Image or Sir Finley Mrrgglton or you need to go fast against control deck
Loot HoarderKeep only if you dont have any other 2 drop
Matchups
Druid: Get early lead, maintain board control for early turns, remove taunts with your spells and you should win easily.
Hunter: Pretty easy matchup, keep early removal.
Mage: You 'll mostly face tempo mages, that's 50/50 matchup, depends on who gets the better start
Paladin: There's lot of secret bubble paladins nowadays, you 'll destroy them because they're playing mostly 1hp minions, so flamewaker and arcane missiles are going to shine. If you face N'zoth or murloc paladin u need to go as fast as possible, just don't give them time to breath.
Priest: That's pretty hard matchup, try to go as fast as possible and hope.
Rogue: If u get good start and and freeze her face u are very likely to win.
Shaman: Get on board early, that's the most imporant thing, if u don't get on board, you 'll lose every game against shaman.
Warlock: Pretty easy matchup if its zoo, he'll basically kill himself. If its reno its also pretty easy, but you have to be lucky so he doesn't have reno in hand.
Warrior: All warrior matchups are very VERY bad. You need to have perfect hand and his hand must be pretty bad.
Card explanations:
Arcane Missiles Pretty good against aggro decks, and it works well with Flamewaker
Ice Lance Brings huge burst potentional with Frostbolt
Mana Wyrm One of the best one drops in the game, helps with early aggresion
Mirror Image Use it to slow down your opponent, and hide your minions from minions or weapons
Frostbolt Great removal and also combo enabler
Sorcerer's Apprentice Works well with cheap spells and flamewaker, and helps to get some early tempo if needed
Arcane Intellect You 'll run out of cards almost every game, so card draw is needed
Flamewaker Gives bonus damage from your cheap spells, u can setup "OTK" when Sorcerer's Apprentice is also on board
Forgotten Torch Extra fireballs are always welcome
Frost Nova Use it to slow down opponent and to earn extra time to draw your damage to end the game
Ice Block It's freeze mage dude ! The extra turn is extra important sometimes
Fireball BURN !!!
Abusive Sergeant Helps with early aggresion and maybe with some efficent trade, but we're SMOrc :3 so i it has to be really efficent trade
Sir Finley Mrrgglton Im still not sure about that, when u get hunter heropower it's REALLY overpowered, but u can also get all those shitty heropowers... swapping for Doomsayer might work better i suppose, u can try it on your own :)
Bloodmage Thalnos Card draw, Spellpower just amazing ! Can pull off really stupid damage if you combo it with Ice lances and Frostbolts
Loot Hoarder Great 2 drop, creates early aggresion and cycles
Coldlight Oracle For some of you it might seem weird that u give cards to your opponent, but you really don't care, this deck contains too much cards low cost cards to you need to have that extra draw
Yo dude those votes look fake as hell
This is a tempo list, a "real" freeze mage isn't aggro, has Alex and Thaurissan in it, Ice Lances, etc.
Good deck, but the name isn't exact.
No, this is actually exactly what you would call an aggro freeze mage. It's an aggro deck with all of the freeze mage finishers and enough stall vs other decks.
What freeze Mage "finishers"? Fireball? Torch? Frost bolt? You mean the Mage cards that are in every single Mage deck?
It's literally Tempo Mage with ice lances in it. I don't think that qualifies as freeze mage. My tempo mage runs ice lances too, mostly because I don't have the dust for thalnos and a second arcane blast.
I get everything except the Iceblocks honestly. Maybe even Finley too as it seems like a risk to give up the ping just to hope to get the hunter power.
I would maybe replace the iceblocks with mirror or another aggro card.
Cabalist's Tome is terrible for such a fast deck. Coldlight Oracle is in the deck because it cycles faster than Acolyte.
Cabalist's Tome is not very good in fast decks such as this deck, as you use up 5 mana to take a wild gamble for any spells you might be able to use, which is way to slow. Also, even though Coldlight Oracle lets your opponent draw cards as well, your cards are usually more valuable than your opponents. Also coldlight is great for cycling cards so in a fast deck such as this deck I'd recommend not swapping out coldight.
Where's Leeroy?
YAY Aggro freeze mage
I dont have Bloodmage Thalnos, can I use instead of it Cult Sorcerer?
I would say NO. Because you will barely utilize 3 attack damage from Cult Sorc (becuase you need to smorc every trade is waste). +1 Spell damage is actually just a ping. Talnos offers cycling (which is more important) and spell dmg that is why he is in the deck. So if you do not have him take novice engineer, he gives you a card immediately that means you have higher chances to get Fball ot Roaring Torch which are both 6dmg, not that pathetic +1spell dmg.
winrate please?
No alex?
It's an aggro deck, why play a 9 mana card when the goal of this deck is to kill your opponent before turn 9?
What. . . this is tempo with ice block and frost nova. Stalling the game is useless for tempo - a regular tempo + yogg is probably a lot more viable. Are you sure you're legend lol. Interesting concept though, I have to give you that.
This is not tempo mage. In tempo you try to control the board. While here you push dmg and cycle the deck for fast lethal. That is why so many card draw + novas and ice blocks to have you extra turns. It is actually a classic aggro/face deck.
Honestly, I am really curious if this guy can succeed with it.
BTW: pyroblast instead of sergant?
