[SA] Exodia Mage

Freeze Mage has always been the ultimate stall master since HS launch. That archetype fits perfectly with OTK and Combo decks, because delaying aggression is really important in order to survive till you draw all the combo pieces. 

What are the Combo pieces this time?

1. (2)Sorcerer’s Apprentice + (2)Sorcerer’s Apprentice + (2)Potion of Illusion 
   (1)Sorcerer’s Apprentice + (1)Sorcerer’s Apprentice + (0)Potion of Illusion
   = (8) mana total 
   [At this point you still have the mana to cast a (0)Frost Nova or a (2)Blizzard]
2. (7)Archmage Antonidas + The Coin + 4x (1)Sorcerer’s Apprentice
   [You get The Coin from Licensed Adventurer Battlecry]
3. Infinite (0)Fireball

Now you would say, “how do you survive that long to pull out a 6 cards combo?”
 
Nice question. I think that Mage has the best control tools right now. Also, the new expansion delivered some key card to help you survive specific mathups and cycle faster and better.
I’m referring to:

• Vectus – Is the addtitional Draw engine, it supports Starscryer , Loot Hoarder and Bloodmage Thalnos deathrattles.
• Sphere of Sapience – Probably, one of the most appropriate archetype for that card. This weapon allows you to get proper draws based on the matchup. This card would help thinning your deck and gathering the combo pieces faster.

But “is it clever enough?”

I think that the consistency of this deck will be meta-driven; Slower meta – Higher winrate, as usual. But even vs Aggro, you still have some pretty solid sinergies by your side, as: 
Ancient Mysteries + Flame Ward and Ice Barrier
Frost Nova + Doomsayer
As long as the stall tools like The Amazing Reno , Ray of Frost and Blizzard

I’m pretty hyped to try this deck on dayone. Do you have any suggestion or tips about replacements and tech cards? Let me know about it 😀

I’ll write the full write-up guide if I see that you enjoyed this post!
