Hi there,
As a Freeze Mage player and a lover of the Echo Giant archetype, I tried to update the well-know version of Echo Giant, initially built around Molten Giant which has been nerfed and are now quite unusable. They have been replaced by the Arcane Giant which has pros and cons compare to its elder brother, and the Echo Giant feeling is still there !
If you like the deck, i'll do the description and mulligan !
Some video about this deck :
Vs Mage :
Vs Secret Pal
Vs Priest
Vs Aggro Murloc Pal
Very good deck reach legend this season with this amazing deck. The opponent is often surprise to meet arcane giant mage. So very nice decklist.Oh i forgot just replace one flamestrike with Alexstrasza it's better. I also try 2 explosive sheep between rank 5 to legend because met lot of zoo FeelsBadMan. Very good deck who can be you a legend. :-)
Glad you liked it and that it brought you to Legend ! :)
About the Explosive Sheep, it's indeed a good tech card, very efficient in early game against every kind of zoo/face decks, but useless against mid/control decks.
About Alexstrasza, I didn't really feel the need to put it in that deck, cause generally, if you can use it efficiently, it probably means that you already have some giants on board, which would also mean that you have the control of the game ^^ For me she is needed in classic freeze mage when you have spells in your hands and you know that you can finish your opponent the next turn ! But if it worked for you, great !
Congratz ;)
That priesr game - lucky no LightBomb. Also try Alex for instant kill with couple of giants on board
I wouldn't call a deck without ice lances "freeze mage".
I would call a deck using Ice Block, Blizzard, Frost Nova and Doomsayer a Freeze Mage ! Freeze Mage is actually an archetype in which you should stall the game, and finish your ennemy when he has no ressources left ! So, generally, the basic Freeze Mage uses Ice Lance as a burst finisher combined with Frostbolt, after Alexstrasza has come onto the battlefield. Here, the only thing that has changed is the way you finish the game. It's not based on spell damage anymore, but on heavy board with ultra cheap 8/8. The philosophy remains exactly the same as a classic Freeze Mage ;)
If this deck can do reasonably well on wild ladder I'll give it a shot once I have the dust for the epics.
Hi, I'm not playing so much right now, only around rank 12. But with enough time, I think it can reach R5.
