This is the deck RDU used to win in the finals @Dreamhack Summer 2014 up against Amaz, best of 5 format. A big congratulations to RDU taking home that Dreamhack cup!
This deck was changed between the group stage and final, to the format you see presented here now. Group stage variation contains +1Bloodmage Thalnos, -1Flamestrike, +1Ice Barrier and -1Loot Hoarder
This deck went 3/0 vs Amaz in the finals.
Additional information:
RDU almost had to forfeit one of his wins(this match) after receiving a message, while playing, live from a "friend". Telling RDU what cards Amaz had in his hands.
(Translation: "he still has a bow and a hunter's mark")
But in the end admins decided that there wasn't enough to effect the outcome of the game and let it pass. Resulting in an, non-remake of the match.

Amaz made a video response regarding what his thoughts are of the whole incident.

How do you win against Midrange Druids? I've lost all my games against them (3).
It's not his ladder deck mate. He only played it on tourney where he didn't expect a bad matchup.
This is a cheater's deck.
No honor among thieves i guess.
I logged up just to vote down this.
i don't have doomsayers so i switched in 2 cone of colds and it seems to work alright even if it's not the best option. Very fun deck to play reminds me of handlock
Any tips to beat hunters with this deck? I have a 50% win rate against hunters but I know it can/should be higher...
I am loving this deck. I swapped out (1) DOOMSAYERS for CONE OF COLD, (2) ACOLYTES for NOVICES, (3) and the VAPORIZE for a second DRAKE. I started this deck at Lv 12 and climbed to 7 in a few hours with a silly win rate.
It is a huge power trip to freeze everything all the way up to turn 10, almost every time. It's the perfect deck for those of us who nerd rage against meta. Warlock zoo practically kill themselves.
Warrior can be v tough matchup; priest too, to a lesser extent. V easy to get dependent on Alex which, in my deck, has a math-shattering tendency to lurk in the bottom five cards. (seriously, does anyone know of a good post on *actual* probability draw logarithms? I am destroying probability laws over here if this is a purely randomized draw).
freeze control mage its back, but a bit slower and has a better win condition with Alexstraza.
really boring deck though it wins many games
This is the deck for patient people.
If you can't let your hand flood first and get your ice blocks, Then it fails, therefore, it is impossible for impatient players to play this deck.
I've fought several ice mages in 8~6, and most of them are easy to counter because they get impatient, but that's using my druid deck which has 60~65% win rate against like it Realz said on the Value Town Video.
Also, this deck loses hard on rushes and mill decks, burned an ice block on my way to 6, using a naturalize, then basically won the game.
This is a FUN deck to play. If you want a mind less face roll deck, this is not the deck for you. To be successful with this deck you have to explore every option every turn, and provide for the next one to two turns as well. That's what makes this deck so much fun! It requires a lot of thought to be successful.
Yeah, watching Trump was never as boring as when he plays this slooooow deck. I almost fell asleep watching his stream.
great deck just I play healadin and this deck has like a 10-20% chance to win vs healadin so just a fyi
A lot of people began playing this deck since DreamHack. I wish there would be even more playing it. My winrate increased drastically.
hi mom
for everyone interested, RDU goes in depth how to mulligan, play etc his deck in part2. of the recent value town episode
Been looking for a strat on how to play it thanks so much!
Tried this deck at rank 14 lost ever since till rank 18... this deck is shit
quite possible i am ignorant, so maybe before flaming how do u like to play this deck? mulligans/ play style?
I would like to point out that freeze mage is a terrible deck to climb the ladder with.... I would only use it in a tournament setting. Just fyi
