Frost Lich Jaina Burn/Control Mage

Overview:

I have hit Rank 3 with this deck, but I am confident that I could go to Legend if I invested more time in playing. 🙂

This deck functions primarily like a burn mage deck with some Frost Lich Jaina synergy included to add some value to the late game.

Play-styles:

1) BURN!  (Note: Don’t use against aggro!)

Use all your spells and minions to hit face and kill the opponent as fast as possible, using the two freezing spells and ice blocks to keep yourself alive.

2) Control 

Like the above, with less emphasis on killing your opponent as quickly as possible and more focus on maintaining a decent board and removing your opponents minions with spells and hitting face with minions

3) Fatigue

Survive until Jaina, and try to use your hero power to summon Water Elementals whenever possible. Use spells to lower health; use minions to trade with the opponents. This is the hardest play-style to master, just keep practicing.

(Note that if you are nearing the end of your deck, avoid using Arcane Intellect

Mulligan Guide:

    * Pretty much always keep arcanologist and mana worm.

    *Always mulligan secrets (because the arcanologists will draw them for you), spells that cost 6 and     up, volcanic potion if playing against a control class (e. g. priest).

    *Aggro: Volcanic Potion, Ghastly Conjurer, Frost Nova, Medhiv’s Valet (unless you already have an     arcanologist.

    *Everyone else: Hard mulligan for mana worm and arcanologist(s).

Techs:

If you face a lot of aggro add another volcanic potion.

If you face a lot of Kazarkus Priest and Control Warlock and Medhiv, the Guardian to add some value.

If you face a lot of Mages add Eater of Secrets

I took out a Doomsayer because I felt that one was all that was needed; I kept drawing my second one very late in the game when it was of little or no use to me.

My third secret is Mirror Entity, but you can swap that one out according to personal preference (e. g. Counterspell, Frozen Clone or Mana Bind.

I added a Ghastly Conjurer instead of a second Water Elemental for added protection against aggro.

The Faceless Summoner can be replaced with Pyros, Medhiv the Guardian or even Baron-Geddon. Note that Baron-Geddon’s end-of-turn ability heals your hero if you are in DK form.

Crafting Guide:

    *Frost Lich Jaina, Doomsayer and Primordial Glyph are are completely essential.

    *Everything else has either easy subs or very low crafting cost.

Good luck grinding mates 🙂
