Very interesting deck. But not easy. If you search something simple - play Dragon Warrior or Hunter.
We have very good cards, but too many random. All not needed random we can replace in the late part of game by Elise Starseeker.
This deck have some things from Freeze Mage. All his combos to clear the table. But here we have early game with Babbling Book and Medivh's Valet.
Mulligan:
1. Babbling Book
2. Doomsayer
3. Frostbolt
4. Arcane Intellect
Combos:
1. Brann Bronzebeard with all Battlecries. We have enough them.
2. Freeze Mage's combos Frost Nova or Blizzard + Doomsayer
3. Frost Nova + Emperor Thaurissan
As usual one game from Strifecro.
I'm fairly sure this is not the version he's playing anymore.
The deck actually works really well and you win in late game with Medivh, spells, Alexstraza and multiple Ice Block and Ice Barriers. Using board clears throughout is tough and you will find yourself without board control a lot of the time but you can win with this deck you just have to hang in to the late game. Having an Ice Block played early allows you to use Avian Watcher and get a taunt up to allow you play some minions to try and gain the board advantage and get Medivh or Alex out there. Love playing this deck it is fun and interesting to play.14-2 so far with this deck
Kind of weird with only 1 fireball and no cabalist tome, a control deck without polymorph is strange too.
