Freeze Mage Deck List Guide - Saviors of Uldum August 2019

Freeze Mage Mulligan Guide

Freeze Mage has a good amount of card draw that allows it to consistently draw game-winning combos. However, it has no healing effects, so it is essential that you look for defensive tools in your mulligan to avoid taking critical damage.

• General Mulligan (keep regardless of what your opponent is playing) — Luna's Pocket Galaxy, Arcane Intellect.
• Mulligan against Aggro (also keep if you think you are playing against an aggressive deck) — Frost Nova, Frostbolt, Doomsayer.
• Mulligan against Control (also keep if you think you are playing against a slow deck) — Acolyte of Pain.

Freeze Mage Strategy

The gameplan for Freeze Mage is to simultaneously draw cards while slowing opponents down. The large number of Freeze effects present in the deck make it really easy to stall opponents. However, it is essential to time them correctly as missing a single Freeze in a large board can often result in losing the game. As a general rule, you should use single-target Freeze effects like Ray of Frost before resorting to larger AoE Freezes. If at any point the board becomes too big, you can also use Doomsayer with a Freeze effect or simply a Blizzard to clear the board. However, you should try to allow your opponent to continually commit to the board before using them.

When it comes to ending the game, the aim of the deck is to use Luna's Pocket Galaxy to reduce the cost of powerful minions like Alexstrasza, Malygos, and Archmage Antonidas. The cards that you draw will influence how you win the game, but using any of these cards in combination with burn spells like Fireball and Frostbolt should be enough to close out the game.

Against Aggro, your main aim is to simply run your opponent out of resources. The sheer amount of board clears and removal spells in the deck makes it relatively easy to run your opponent out of resources. When your opponent is low on resources, playing a single minion like Archmage Antonidas or Malygos will be too much for your opponent to handle and will be enough to win the game in combination with any remaining burn spells you have in your hand.

Against Control, you should try to assemble the largest possible burst damage combo you can. It can often be worth holding off on playing Jepetto Joybuzz until you have drawn both copies of Doomsayer to ensure you discount two powerful minions. If the Control deck you are against has access to healing, it is often necessary to use Archmage Antonidas to generate some additional burn damage to ensure you can close out the game.
