Hello,
this is my version of TTK Exodia Mage, which is incredibly strong on today's meta...
Vote up if you like it ;)
Introduction
Hello, I'm JaMMeX, and I'm simply no one. But I want to show a you deck, which is incredibly strong on this meta, full of Jade Druids, Control Priests or Control Warlocks...
The main strength against all of control decks is simple. You just have a lot of time to draw your combo before your Ice Block even gets popped. Your matchup is 85/15 here.
Against aggro decks, like Token Druid, Pirate Warrior or all kind of Hunters you have bad matchups, but if you can survive first 4-5 turns, then there is chance to win. All of these matchups are like 25/75 :/
This deck, is one of these "OTKs", where you have to draw a lot with Arcane Intellect, Novice Engineer, Coldlight Oracle or Acolyte of Pain ...
Your main combo is completing your Open the Waygate by spells, which are mostly generated by Cabalist's Tome, Babbling Book, Primordial Glyph or Mirror Image from Ghastly Conjurer
Then, 2x Sorcerer's Apprentice -> 1x Molten Reflection on one of these, cast Time Warp, next turn Archmage Antonidas, another Molten Reflection for Fireball from Anton, and OTK has been born...
25 Upvotes here, and its time for mulligans and matchups!
Matchups and mulligans!
Okay, since we hitted both of these goals at the same time, it will be even easier for me, to show you mulligans for every single matchup :). I will start gradually with the most played class on ladder :)
MAIN MATCHUPS :
Druid
Since Druids are slower decks, which needs more time to go on board, because they firstly ramp with their Wild Growth or Jade Blossom, you have enough time to draw all of your freezes and combo pieces. On ladder are 3 types of Druids : Aggro, Midrange or Jade...
Against Druids, it's questionable what to keep, but always keep your Open the Waygate, cause even against Aggro Druids, you have chance to beat them through your quest... I keep Doomsayer, cause Druids have poor, and sometimes really unvauleable answers, so turn 2 Doomsayer can stop them really well! Good keep is Primordial Glyph too, you can find a lot of answers against all types of Druids...
Midrange&Jade
All-in-all, against Midrange or Jade, you have almost 90% chance to win, since they are slow on board, and you simply don't care about their "value" strong cards, because Freeze solves everything! Dont be scared, to at turn 3 and 4 draw through everything you can, because you wont die, and you have a really big chance to draw some Freeze on their board, and once you equip your Ice Block, you can draw more aggresivily for your combo pieces, and dont really care about their damage on board.
AGGRO
Against aggro it's harder, but I would say its 60% to win for you, because your survivability against fullboard is good. Dont be scared to use your Blizzard or Frost Nova without Doomsayer just like that. Because if you clear the board, anyway, Druid gonna fill it again until 2 turns. If you are able to destroy their board, and next turn drop Archmage Antonidas, you want to do it, and then use Fireball for board clear, or if you can drop atleast 2 Sorcerer's Apprentice, you can use Fireball to burn them down!

Im not ambitious at all with this deck guide, but I hope you will have best luck on ladder with it :)
Feel free to ask me if you have a question about this deck
ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING - My English is simply bad. Im Czech, and I write with my Czenglish, which means that my sentences doesnt even makes a sence... Please, if I will have some really huge mistake in this guide, write it to comments, and I will fix it :)
I teched out a novice engineer for a voodoo doctor since i find theres a lot of pally at rank 3 r.
just destroyed 2 of these decks
The problem with Exodia mage ( besides AGGRO decks ) is that , the first Dirty Rat kills this deck , espeically without Simulacrum .
How many times encountered a dirty rat with that deck ? if u played 100 games with the deck you ld only encounter him 3 times mostly and maybe 1 of them ld hit the bull eyes of that deck, so no worries about dirty rat at all.
A lot , mostly because of Stonehill Defender .
Dirty rat is pretty brutal against this deck, yes. A tip would be to not play your babbling books early if you expect to see it. Won't always work, but you can even out the risk at least.
The only problem with this deck is Aggro poops on it. I hope the other Frozen Throne decks crush Aggro enough that it fades from the meta.
75% winrate from rank 12-5. Bad starting hands and smart aggro players beat ya.
Swapped Acolyte of Pain for Shimmering Tempest because Acolyte is a dead card if you have a full hand. Risk of milling is high.
100% winrate against Priest and 80% winrate vs Druid. Which made up 53% of the ladder for me. Had a 80% winrate in the mirror so I must be doing something right.
Yeah, with 2x Coldlight Oracle this seems a legit change.
I found many player using this deck around my rank 5-10, and most of the match are easy win for me. I guess becoz this one is hard deck to mastered and most player dont know how to drawing card or delaying the game.
deck plays like freeze mage, the same game stalling till you have combo
What are you playing? Some decks just stomp this, but since Jade Druid is like everywhere for me between rank 10 and 5 i habe a positive win rate with it :)
OR because you are playing Pirate Warrior .
Shimmering Tempest or not so good choise Kabal Courier
Any thought Simulacrum Maybe replace Ice Barrier or Novice Engineer ?
-1 gastly conjurer
+1 simulacrum
actually 7-2 vs jade druids, and 2-1 vs kaza priest, usually i dont need this mirror image (extra spell for quest) so i added simulacrum bc it can replace an apprentice (3 times it was the last card)
75% win rate for me at rank 5-2
gastly conjurer helps a lot of times against classes with weapons like paladins, warriors, rogues and druids with hero power, frost nova and Mirror Image, can give you a extra turn.
Is this really? I destroyed one of these decks with a miracle priest, yeah it was just one game and perhaps the guy didn't know what he was doing, but it was an easy match.
any replacements for second doomsayer?
Yeah.
400 arcane dust.
