This week's theme comes from your lovely mod squad, who always supports you.
Competition-Specific Restrictions:
Your card must contain the Freeze Keyword in one way or another. (Yes, this includes 'Frozen'.)
Your main card must have the Freeze Keyword - tokens are allowed, but they can't be the only place it shows up.
Competition Process
Preview Phase (Starts Now! Ends 21:00 UTC 11/Jan/2018) During this Phase, the Discussion Topic is made available, previewing this week's competition theme. Entry and Early Voting Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 11/Jan/2018, Ends 21:00 UTC 15/Jan/2018) During this Phase, the Submission Topic is made available for your submissions. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like! Voting Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 15/Jan/2018, Ends 21:00 UTC 16/Jan/2018) During this Phase, the Submission Topic will be locked, so no more entries may be submitted. Instead, use this time to browse the submissions and up-vote your favorites! Final Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 16/Jan/2018, Ends 21:00 UTC 17/Jan/2018) During this Phase, the Discussion Topic will also be locked, and a new Poll Topic will go up. Discussion will be allowed to continue in the Poll Topic, and it will also include all the qualifying finalists and poll to decide the winner of the competition!
Discussion Topic Rules
To make sure that everything runs smoothly, we need to reserve the Submission Topic for submissions only. Everything else goes here. What is everything else, you might ask?
Rules or Process. Do you have a question about the competition's process? Do you need clarification about one of the entry requirements? Are you not sure whether your entry adhered to the rules? Ask here!
Feedback or Ideas. Do you have some ideas you'd like to run by others before settling on one? Do you need help balancing or wording your entry? Do you need help finding art that will fit your card? Or do you just want feedback from the community on your entry? You're in the right place! Remember, although you are allowed to make minor tweaks to your entry after you've submitted it, you're only allowed one submission per week, so make sure that you've settled on your card for sure beforehand.
Discussion! Do you have thoughts on other people's entries? Are there directions you don't like that you're seeing too many people take? Or directions you'd like to see more people take? Would you like to help others and contribute to a greater community understanding of Hearthstone card design and balance? This is where you want to be!
All of that said, please refrain from the following:
Posting TONS of Ideas. Discussion topics become an absolute mess if everybody is posting a dozen different ideas. Please post not more than 3 distinct ideas at a time. Any more than that and we'll have to delete your post.
Advertising Your Entry. Please don't pop in here just to advertise your entry only to never be heard from again. This includes only asking short, generic, or insincere questions like "Thoughts?" or "Do you think this is interesting?". Yes, getting feedback on your entry is one of the purposes of this topic, but we're not just here for other people to help you. We're here for you all to help each other. 12 hours after this competition begins, there should be plenty of other posts here for you to give specific feedback or for you to comment on a trend. If you post your entry for feedback after this time and do not also offer some form of substantial commentary, critique, or praise of others' work, you may find your post deleted.
Plagiarism. Many people post their ideas here before finalizing them in the submission topic. Directly plagiarizing those ideas to post in the submission topic yourself is absolutely not acceptable.

It appears that Cogito got my message when she was open to suggestions. Awesome, I can use this card I used in Season 6 and get revenge when no one on page 1 made it:
Phoenixfeather, if you remember Stutter, that was in that competition too. I fealt the same pain as you.
I'm a little confused on what the second rule means. Which card has to mention Freeze to be allowed to make a token? The token, the collectible card, or either one?

Essentially it means that the main card has to have the keyword Freeze on it.
So "Battlecry: Summon a Chilly Pepper." is not allowed, even if the Chilly Pepper has the Freeze keyword.
But "Battlecry: Summon a Chilly Pepper that Freezes characters it damages." is allowed, because the main card mentions the Freeze text.
EDIT: I've reworded the rule to hopefully be more clear.

I beat you to it by about 22 hours; I had already suggested Freeze in our private conversation about the situation :P

I am a finalist in this Class Creation Competition, so if you could give it a look I would be greatly appreciative <3

R.I.P my English.
You just have to have the Freeze or Frozen Keyword written on the original card.
This would not be legal.

You couldn't have just let me have my moment, could you?
Damn. I still predicted it perfectly though, minus the name so I'm going to pretend I made it. You missed an opportunity to name the competition "Ice Ice Baby".

Purify with Ice: I've been waiting for months for an occasion to show this. Finally I did. I can die in peace now.
Frozen Peace Axe: This is a totally original card. Any resemblance with the previous version of any existing card is fortuitous. No but seriously this could be a balanced version of FWA since you can't attack immediately with it. Alternatively, I could make "After your hero attacked, freeze it so it's still usable immediately".
Red Proto-Whelp: Because Freeze Mage is a cancer deck that needs to die. It's dormant right now, but as soon as Open the Waygate rotates out (and OTW is arguably even worse) you'll see those fuckers again.

I personally find the second card very questionable in terms of validity. It feels like trying to circumvent the rule your card needs the Freeze keyword on it with very unusual wording you would never find on a real Hearthstone card or a legitimate entry where this specific rule may not need to be considered, mostly because from the text, it's very obvious that it's a Glacial Shard that's the token. It would be like wording Frost Lich Jaina as 'Battlecry: Summon a 3/6 Elemental with "Freeze any character damaged by this minion".' We can already tell that the token would be a Water Elemental, you really just use that instead.
I don't think that should be legal in my opinion. If it was obvious that it produced a unique token, then I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it.

Purify with Ice should be a Shaman card from KotFT instead so it better synergizes with Moorabi and all those self-freeze effects. Compared to Cryostasis and Freezing Potion, I also think it could cost 1 or maybe even 0 (yes, it is intended to be a Purify meme, but a long time later, you can change it to be better).
Red Proto-Whelp I think is a nice tech card. It not only could be used against Freeze decks, but it actually could be used in Freeze Shaman to unfreeze your minions after self-freezing them and gaining Armor at the same time. What would be really interesting though is if it also affected heros. There's also a grammar mistake in card name (you have a lowercase W, when it should be a capital W).

Before someone asks, I'll tell you now that we are cool with "Unfreeze" effects, no pun intended. It's still Freeze related, although you could've just said "Remove Freeze from X" :P

REEEEEEEEE because I have so many cards made already. Will probably just make a legendary though to get noticed (senpai)
Also Cheese you have to call it CHILLY Peace Axe because that's what it says in Fiery War Axe's flavor text. ;)

Hmm a shame that Freeze applies to minions and heroes. Have an idea for an board wide effect but that will change the mechanism of the keyword
Oh man you guys sure made this challenge pretty cool
heh heh. nailed it.

First idea:
The term "opposite" applies in the same way as for the chess pieces in the Karazhan adventure. Thoughts on balance?
Like this week's theme, a lot more flexible. Here're a few ideas I had lying around.
Sidenote: The copy summoned by Frostshaping will be Frozen.
Hey, I can reuse my 6.17 submission. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
