Freeze is already very powerful (and underrated) on its own. Filling a deck with freeze effects plus the ability to kill the victims has a lot of potential. 2x Glacial Shard + 2x Frost Shock + 2x Frost Elemental is already a good start, but I agree that a bit more freeze may be needed.
I'm just very happy to see a weapon that's clearly intended to hit something other than face.
¿So what's the point of freezing anyway? Win a turn thanks to it, but useless because you are going to kill it anyway since on your next turn is unfreezed. Bad design here.
so this means we are getting shaman freeze stuff, if there is a strong set of freezing control cards in shaman this might see play. I doubt though that a deck entirely based around freeze and freeze synergy would 1) be made by blizzard 2) not suck and 3) need more hard removal with freeze and shamans existing removal kit. A good shaman freeze deck would be able to clear board consistently upwards of 5 times. A conditional weapon with poisonous would probably be worse than a board clear in such a deck.
It is not exactly a bad card if it gets support, but not good enough for constructed.

Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?
I imagine more Shaman cards will come out that will make this a bit better, but based off what we have now this won't be very good. Guessing with limited info we have now, I'd say this card won't see play, but if 2 or 3 good cards with freeze effects come out, who knows?
without reading through the thread, i'm gonna say a shaman elemental deck with frost shocks, glacial shards and that other frozen elemental in it (along with whatever else KOFT brings) will make Frost Shammy a thing and everyone will call for the nerf of a 3 mana, 1/3 weapon :P
If it cost 2 maybe. Freeze is not cheap and easy for Shaman I don't care how many freeze cards come out for them. It'll still require two card combos to kill anything, and this weapon is near useless otherwise. No one is going to be playing Frost Shock for this.
If Shaman get cards similar to Snowchugger or Frost Nova or both, this can become a playable card. So I will hold saying much more on this, but for now it is looking a bit on the weaker side.
Freeze => attack frozen minion, which also means that you have to tank the face damage. My opinion: 4/10
Hmm...
I don't think this sees much play unless the new freeze options are godlike.

And this is just awful in arena.
Give us things like this and this card will see play:

Voted bad.
You have to work a bit too hard for this to do anything. What freeze effects are you going to play?
Hard nerf to molten blade.
