*This upload does not contain any in deepth guide, nor do I play it my self. This is Dreamhack relevant with Dreamhack relevant information only. Credit has been made, credit has been acknowledged.
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.

RDU to the left(winner of $10000), Amaz to the right accepting his 2nd place check.
Deck design and credit goes to Otter. Watch him play @ www.twitch.tv/itsotter
This is the deck it originated from: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/58909-otter-pops
Amaz made a video response regarding what his thoughts are of the whole incident.

Posted Jun 25, 2014 (Live Patch 5506)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).

Posted Jun 20, 2014 (Live Patch 5506)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.

Posted Jun 20, 2014 (Live Patch 5506)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.

Posted Jun 18, 2014 (Live Patch 5506)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
