Not really. Thanks to Mysterious Challenger, everyone is teching against secrets, so you are liable to get your Ice Block stolen which is game-ending for a Freeze Mage.

I tried playing freeze mage, went something like 13-7 in my last 20 games (Rank 12). Its fine, but Warrior and Priest are really hard match-ups.. Right now I'm laddering with Combo Druid which seems extremely strong (6-1 atm) against other Tempo/Midrange decks. Probably gonna ladder with it till Rank 5 and then change my deck to CW or Freeze Mage.
I dont feel like priest is a bad matchup. The pressure they apply is minimal due to low atk minions and normal dragonpriests run no heal except for holy nova. Sure their guys have a lot of hp but a well placed doomsayer/nova combo handles it easily, since they normally also dont run any silence its nearly always a hit.
Always happy to face a priest.
Oh yeah on topic: Freeze mage is always good when Controlwarrior (and to some extent combo druid) is underrepresented. Its definately viable at the moment.

If you lose to dragon priest you are doing something wrong. Doomsayer goes off 100% in that matchup. And there is enough freeze to last until alexstraza and fireball/pyroblast finish.

Is freeze mage still good in this meta ?
Yes, its just very slow to climb the ladder.

It's fine, slower games though as Surazim said.
