Glad to hear you're enjoying it. It should still have enough in it to win straightforwardly provided you draw Jep before you draw both Alex and Maly, as you only need one to win the game a lot of the time.

I added the Apexis blasts as the deck deliberately draws slowly (for reasons as explained above) so having this additional face damage in the deck helps to ensure you have the necessary damage in hand as often as possible whenever you draw the combo pieces. Using it for board clear is also fine, just have to try and read when you'll need that damage to pull off your combo. It's a fairly high skill deck to play correctly! A lot of choices.

Also, I've recently replaced Rolling Fireball with The Amazing Reno, and it's given some interesting results. Maybe try that too, and tell me what you think!

Freeze mage is the most meta-sensitive deck in the game; and even when it is freeze mage season, very few people seem to play it correctly. Therefore BrokeBack isn't really going to ever be an emote you can apply to it. At the same time, those saying it'll disappear with the loss of scientist are wrong - it has been buffed from many other angles.

Other way around. NA first, EU 27th.

Some variant of these, probably. Followed by some C'Thun tests.

You can fill your board over two turns with this card. Shadowcaster on turn 9, followed by second shadowcaster into 1-1 shadowcaster, into 1-1 shadowcaster, into...

That might have something to do with the fact that TGT was released before the Discover mechanic...

 Mysterious Challenger has effect immediately you drop him and it's 6 mana. This card is comparable to Varian Wrynn. It's a win more card. And by that it means you already have control of the game and you just use it to completely destroy your opponent.

1. Is it a good card? Hell, yeah.
2. Can it win you the game with the pressure it creates? Yeah.
3. But if you are behind can it do something? Neah.
4. Will it be played? Yeah, some guys will make a deck around it and can win you some games.
5. Will it be a tier 1 deck? Nop.

In fact, he really have 2 turns to kill you if you are not in control of the game and he has the tempo. This card is a win more card so it will not see much play in good decks.

Pretty bad card(i'm talking about standard).. 5-7 for a 10 cost. There are no deathrattle minions with charge(with taunt there are few now that naxx is out of the picture, and bad one too) so it won't influence the board in the turn it will be played. Basically u need 2 turns to make it viable - you give your opponent 2 turns at mana 10 to kill you, the one before u  play it and the turn after u put it down, at 10 mana.... so it's OP only on fatigue wars - Priest vs Warrior/Other Control matchups. In my opinion, the card is so slow(even slower than Deathwing) and has no effect immediately when played => so it will not see that much play. C'Thun is a much better card in every way. If you drop a buffed C'Thun you know it's GG, you drop N'Zoth the Corruptor you start praying for the best..

Twobiers currently streaming 97-9 on his 10th run, with 2 losses to spare and 8 wins to play for. He's already beaten the record, he might be the first to reach 100.

I would have liked to see this card with spell damage +1, even if that bumped it up to 6 mana.

Who needs Reno?

This deck is far worse than LBYS' aggro mage deck.

Hey, I've only had the cards for a couple hours but I've been testing it at rank 3. Currently 11-4 with it. The write up will be about later, it seems reasonable strong but can't be optimal.

Thanks for the link! I have not read the article, and I was almost sure that I wasn't the first to suggest a "zoo for the early game" build but I thought I'd put mine out there. I was very conscious of the line between making a dreadsteed control deck and a "zoo with dreadsteeds in it" deck, which is why I included the anima golems and Jaraxxus. Because once board control is secured with the steeds, the zoo minions no longer hold much relevance, and the one or two remaining board spaces are better suited to big threats (and they don't come much bigger than the golems) so I felt the balance was delicate.

I don't like boom in this deck, due to how late it's likely to appear, and how it's unlikely to have enough space on the board for it by that point. Mountain giants are a consideration but one won't have cards in their hand early on. And late on, the anima golems come down for 6 mana (which is a decent cost, still allowing almost all spells to be used and having cheaper mountain giants than that doesn't really matter, given that you don't have room to play other stuff so mana is less important) for +1/+1 better stats. Sea giants are about as good as the anima golems, IMO. The big hitters feel almost necessary for the priest/warrior match ups in which they can heal/gain armor for days; but the aggro matches are almost always over after the steeds come down.

I like Siphon over BGH (because you need space to use BGH, and the siphon lends healing albeit sacrificing the possibility of an early tempo BGH). And I like to keep void callers to a minimum as they have a high potential to make plays difficult.
