Play loatheb and Troggzor in your deck, and just try to pop the ice blocks as quick as possible. Put Antique healing bots in your deck to counter Alexstraza.
Keep a Keeper of the Grove in your hand for finishing damage so you don't pop an Ice Barrier, since it only pops when attacked. Same applies to Swipe and if you're feeling fancy, Boom Bot deathrattles.
Not sure you will consider this seriously, but in my Mill Druid, I run 1 tree of life ^^ made a freeze mage ragequit with it, just heal everything back to 30 once he alex'd you aha
I realize this is an old thread, but I just got smoked by a freeze mage and wanted to ask. Without designing a deck to specifically beat freeze mage, what is the best general strategy when facing one? I was playing demonlock and had him down to 2 when I popped the second ice block, then got hit for 24 damage next turn. Is there a real counter to this, again, without designing a deck to specifically beat it? Or you do just say okay, I only face maybe one a day, take the loss and move on?
That's what sorta annoys be about Hearthstone sometimes is that it doesn't really seem designed with counters in mind. Hell, mage itself is the only one with a counterspell. I run loatheb, but didn't get it before that round.

You already know the answer to why you lost against freeze mage. You're using warlock, the one class that kills you faster, and you couldn't dig for Loatheb in time. You can't win your worst match-up every game.
If you start facing an overwhelming amount of freeze mage where you are in your ladder right now, I'd recommend teching in an Antique Healbot. It gets you out of lethal when facing freeze mage and aggro.deks
Or, you know, switching classes until you stop seeing freeze.

Well without specifically targetting the deck the best you can do is identify what you're playing against and try to apply enough pressure that they're forced to use their resources quickly. Try not to give them time to cast things like Arcane Intellect, hit them hard and fast and save silence for doomsayer. If you can make them cast a frostbolt and a fireball on minions it's going to be very hard for them to assemble the necessary damage to kill you.

Generally, you want to throw down enough threats on the board where you're applying good pressure, but wouldn't get wrecked by one of mage's many boardwipes 9Flamestrike, Doomsater, Blizzard, etc.)
Freeze Mage is the class that I can never on my Ramp Druid, anyone that could give me tips, it's very much appreciated.

Hearthstone...I play that.

Youtube...I have that.

Basically this as well. Hopefully, you'll play nothing BUT freeze mage and hunter because this card is only good for a small niche.

Play control Warrior -win
Hearthstone is a game of "copy and pasting"
These cards might help...
