Yeah, you definitely need the Doomsayers or this deck won’t work. They’re crucial for early game board clears and keeping the opponent off your back. The pyroblast is often a crucial late game finisher that you’ll need to win some tough games. If you can’t craft them I don’t suggest trying without them.

Alex is a safe craft as there’s word she’ll get HoF next year.

Good luck with the deck, if you lose a few games don’t get discouraged as Freeze Mage is one of the toughest decks to master.

I’ve been thinking about adding Archmage as well but I’m hesitant about removing Acolyte. Acolyte can cause really awkward turns for the opponent, allowing a Lifedrinker or Warmage to stick later on. I’ve been thinking just replacing PoC as it usually just sits in my hand.

I’d say so, I love freeze mage and this has been a ton of fun to play. Overall, match-up wise the deck is great against Rouge but struggles against Warrior and Druid. Warrior’s armor can be a nuisance but sometimes you can burst them down if you’re lucky. Druid’s Soul of the Forest causes problems because of the deck’s reliance on high cost boardclears so don’t hesitate throwing out a turn 2 Doomsayer on an empty board to stall.

For replacements every legendary is a safe craft so don’t stress about spending dust there. On the epics you could sub Ice Barrier for Keysmith and add another Pyro for a PoC if you have it on hand.
