Very fun and interactive!
Biggest 'fuck you' in the game is when a reno mage sits behind ice block, Reno, Alexsrasza and Manic Soulcaster
Just found out this does not stopdamage from fatigue. Was rogue and burgled this, lost the game because i thought on my turn i'd become immune.
Huh, that's weird. Potential bug?
There was a time where I had no use for this card. Now in this C'Thun obssesed age, welcome back buddy. I made a bed for you to sleep with Reno and Polymorph. Have fun.
what happens if i trigger my opponents ice block then i put down a leper gnome and use power overwhelming on it does it kill him or is it blocked by iceblock?
Can this prevent fatigue lethal? I had ice block on my mage and she died when I ran out of card and took fatigue damage... is this a bug or is it supposed to work that way?
You die because it is on your turn. Ice block only works on the opponents turn.
Secrets only trigger in the opponents turn.
Uh, just had it NOT trigger on my opponents turn when killed with a fireblast. Fun times.
This is overpowered. Should be legendary so you can only have 1.
nerf ice block too OP Kappa
Favorite card :3
Synergy with Majordomo Executus.
By the way, if anyone asks; no, it is not significant that switching heroes disables Ice Block. In the situations where your opponent is capable of popping your block, popping Domo, *AND* do the 8 damage to kill you all at once, your opponent had too much of a board for Ragnaros to really help much anyway.
This is embarrassing, but I was trying to BM someone, and then discovered that this card does not work on your turn, so ended up killing myself. Guess it's pretty good information to know that this only works on opponent's turn.
Now I wonder, what happens if you have Ice Block, and on your turn trigger an Explosion Trap at 2 health? Do you die?
Your answer is that you will die...because secrets activate in your opponet's turn
Ragnaros can punch around this card as long as it is not triggered before he does his damage. Because it is a secret it can only trigger on the opponent's turn and because Rag attacks after the turn is over, he won't trigger the block.
I was recently playing a mage and had whittled them down to 7 health and no minions on board. I knew she had an IB up (by process of elmination it had to be Ice block - checked for spellbender/spellbock as well), and I had two cards in my hand: Rag and Gorehowl. My first impulse was to throw Gorehowl down and get the blocked "Lethal," just in case she had a polymorph + taunt - I could still play Rag the next turn for a 50-50. Then I remembered the secret's mechanic, that it only triggers on an opponent's turn, and that Ragnaros the Firelord only attacks after you hit the end turn button...so I played him and crossed my fingers... I had a pride-boner for days.
I was so proud in fact that I soon thereafter boasted furiously in an overlong message board post that no one will likely ever read...
What I will say is this: Ragnaros is, without a doubt, the best 1600 dust I have ever spent...period period period...
<EDIT>
YA so...apparently it was a bug. And now its been fixed.
It is a shame - I really liked the idea of Rag hitting around iceblock - it seemed like a clever concept to mitigate an aggravating card, but my thought process on how secrets work was a bit flawed. The thread Here (http://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/card-discussion/34963-ice-block-and-ragnaros-bug-solved) explains it.
The crux seems to be that your turn does not really end when you hit "End Turn" ...I know right... but the end of turn minions like Rag or Kel Thuzhad have to take their actions before your turn ACTUALLY ends. They don't work in the wonderful little inbetweeny turn I thought they did - but just as one final extension of yours, which means they can still trigger secrets. All of the minion death secrets (avenge, dup, redemption) will trigger, as will iceblock and presumably Eye for and Eye. All the attack secrets are still off the table b/c rag does not attack - he just deals damage.
Sorry for adding to the confusion folks :(
I read it. :D Noice victory you had there.
No offense, but I'm pretty sure that is not how the mechanic works. The end of turn effects will trigger Ice Block since the system doesn't count your turn as completely ended until your opponent begins his turn by drawing a card. So Ragnaros the Firelord shouldn't be able to finish the Mage.
You can try it with your friend, when Ragnaros the Firelord hits the Mage with Ice Block, or a Paladin minion when Redemption is played, the secret will trigger.
