People here whining like a bitch about this card can go play yourself some fucking UNO instead LMFAO!
The most broken secret in the game tbh, as this card is very uninteractive because you can't do anything once it activates except hope that they can't kill you with whatever is in their hand using ~17 mana from the turn they play Ice Block and the turn after. Glad it's not in standard. Even Evasion isn't as uninteractive and busted as this because it doesn't prevent lethal damage.
Btw if you're playing in wild, put a secret-destroying tech card in your deck so you don't have to deal with this
Why Ice Block not working if you draw bomb and it deals fatal damage ?
Miss this card :(
Hope it will return in standard one day with Reno Jackson, Renounce Darkness, Yogg-Saron, Hope's End and Dirty Rat. One day...
In the wild... power of the mages will rise! with Blizzard adding cards like Frost Lich Jaina or Arcane Artificer Mage will not only have no_lethal.jpg but also will quickly heal up after popping it... in other words, in the wild mage will become a powerhouse.
Waiting for the next expansion impatiently!
NA NA NA NA!
NA NA NA NA!
HEY HEY HEY!
GOODBYE!
Edit: Wow, a lot of freeze/quest mage fanboys seem a little sour about this...
or players who understand that this card was very important for architypes as control mage and such.
The card on its own is fine. It's the fact that you can get more than two with random card generation. Dealing with one or two ice blocks is OK, dealing with 3 or 4 is just annoying and frustrating.
May the card rest.

Just played against a mage who had 4 ice blocks by turn 8 and 2 more at turn 10, I had him down at 1 HP for probably 4 turns he used blizzard to stall & finishing the quest for infinite fireballs + waiting to his Hero card. It was infinite fireballs by the way and he managed to build all of the minions up for it while still having 2 iceblocks left. So let's say even if I did push through and he wasn't able to finish the quest for the infinite fireballs just with his Hero card alone with that many ice block's left he'd easily go from 1-30 health. and THEN infinite fireballs so.
Even worse he had lucky pulls for almost the entire game then I punished him after messing up once and I got a few lucky draws but after I noticed he had 3 secrets that didn't trigger even after attacking his hero / using spells, summoning minions or hitting his minions I knew It was baboaoboabo....
There's a reason I call this piece of shit "Crutch Block."
That deal " 6dmg " spell and remaining damage goes to the hero spells is OP as well... getting hit in the face by it already at turn 2-3
6 dmg for 2 mana crystals is op. Kill Command costs 3 mana crystals and requires a beast on the board but still only deals 5 damage and that's only IF you have a beast on the board or else it's just 3 dmg...
I just absolutely dominated a secret mage and had lethal by turn 6. He had 2 Ice Blocks in his deck, then he pulls Frost Nova and a 3rd Ice Block from Primordial Glyph RNGsus. He fireballs and frost bolts my face twice each going into turn 10 so I had 10 HP left. Boom. Pyroblast. He wins simply by virtue of 3 Ice Blocks. I f***ing hate this card.
57% usage in all decks. I think without a doubt this is gonna get rotated to the Hall of Fame. Fuck Crutch Block.
EDIT: GOODBYE CRUTCH BLOCK! YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED.
This card needs to go.
Please remove, I play wild and its so cancer
Blizzard, can you please get rid of this fucking crutch? I'm sick of Ice Block. I hate it more then the Pirate decks. This card is a fucking crutch for bad Mages, for they can play like a dummy all game but once they got their Exodia pieces with the Quest, they just instantly win because there's no way to counter it.
Seriously, fuck this fucking card. They're trying to make Elemental Mage a thing, but why bother when you can use this crutch with Secret or Quest Mage? Nerf it, or rotate it into Hall of Fame, because I'm sick of it!
