The Mill Frost Mage


Deck: Siege Onager

Whoof. What a match. I started fighting what appeared to be a Frost Mage. He froze my army constantly, and when I had an amazing lineup—Kel'thuzad, an Ironbark Protector, and a bunch of other high-mana minions... this is Siege Onager, let's remember—he froze them all and played a Doomsayer. Since I didn't have anything to silence it, not only did everything get burned up, he did Echo of Medivh to put another Doomsayer and an Antique Healbot into his hand again.

I managed to steal his Ice Block secret with my Kezan Mystic, which was reassuring. But then something weird started to happen. As if by magic, the mage suddenly turned into a Mill Mage. He pinged my acolyte of pain with defiance, and then played two Coldlight Oracles, and Echo of Medivhed one of them! I started to get worried, but even with all of my extra cards, I couldn't put them out fast enough to do damage. Besides, even when I got 16 damage off on him, he just played two more heal bots and froze my minions again. He even used Deathlords to absorb damage, which were perfect solutions since I didn't have any cards left. No matter what I did, he turned my attacks against him—Duplicating his healbots and doomsayers, healing over and over.

Finally, despite my Ice Block and healing of my own, he got my fatigue up to 6 and 7 damage per turn. He played his last Coldlight Oracle, and left himself open to die with confidence, because as soon as he ended my turn, 8 fatigue damage to the face killed me.

By far, the most skilled Ice Mage I have ever played against.
