Ice Walker says that it freezes the target. Since only one minion is actually targeted, only the center one is frozen. Meanwhile, Frost Lich Jaina and Pyromaniac only require you to get kills with the hero power.
It's weird and a bit unintuitive, but it's 100% consistent with the card text.
It's not, because the text on the Spirit says "your hero power also TARGETS adjacent minions"
Fair enough. In that case it's a coding bug, since it doesn't "actually" target adjacent minions and Ice Walker is still looking for the actual target.
By the way, wait on the final confirmation from Blizzard, but it was suggested to me that Ice Walker + Spirit of the Dragonhawk was bugged on stream, and will eventually freeze adjacent minions.
Would be cool if the effect stacked but I highly doubt it. meaning it would deal damage to 5 minions, maybe even doubling back on the first target for 3, like a weird swipe.
One of the elite few cards in the game that may actually want to be one cost higher.

Enjoying Americans winning in the Olympics is forbidden because it is political. A 14 plus page discussion of state-sponsored lawsuits against a multi-national corporation based on harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death allegations is apparently not political enough to raise an issue.

it logically makes sense in the spaghetti code (the HP pings are caused by the minion not you), but its going to get fixed to work as an AoE freeze.

Would be nice if it were odd...
Why isn't this 1 or 3 mana? I really doubt this will ever see play, the odd package is just better.

Kind of like Hex in a way. Ended up being awfully nice in even Shaman.
So...if I get three kills with Frost Lich Jaina and this card, will I spawn three Water Elementals? Or just one?
Good synergy with ice walker and clock work
