Here is my current deck. The whole idea is to stall the game out long enough to get Emperor on board with frostbolts/ice lances in my hand to make them not cost mana, then alex their face and ice bolt+ice bolt+ Ice lance +Ice lance their face for auto win. Here's my question: The Dr. Boom feels out of place. I'm 13-2 in ranked since I started using this deck, but the Dr. Boom itself has had no impact. Should I replace it? With what?



Possible replacement cards:

2nd flamestrike
2nd arcane intellect(leaning towards this right now)
2nd antique healbot
2nd cone of cold

other???

I'd put in an acolyte for Dr Boom. You can ping it yourself to draw cards

Why acolyte over arcane intellect? Acolyte likely gives me 2 cards(I ping it when i play it, then they kill it next turn) for 5 mana(acolyte + ping). The arcane int is 3 mana for the same result.

Well usually don't see sludge belchers in freeze mage decks.
More standard would be

-2 sludge
-1 boom

+1 arcane
+1 acolyte
+xxxx

Started playing my freeze again thanks to you, quick little 3-0 before bed.
I'm thinking of taking out cone of cold but it's so good vs the meta of Zoo and the some rush mech you see.

2 fireballs is an absolute necessity. You simply don't have enough burn otherwise.

Loatheb drboom and antique do not go in your normal freeze mage.

My suggestion is - drboom - loatheb - antique - sludge x 2
+fireball + arcane intellect + 2 acolytes + cone of cold

You need more card draw. You might even consider working in loot hoarders somewhere.

Yep this pretty much except I'd swap the number of hoarders and cones based on the meta

Standard is usually double hoarder no cone
