I was wondering if anyone has actually managed to make Moorabi useful in a deck? I looked at the cards Shaman was getting and thought "cool freeze shaman" and thought it would be a pretty somewhat viable deck but I am yet to actually make a deck that works with any Moorabi synergy and was wondering if anyone else had had any luck?
Also pulled him and was trying to make him work but the best I got was a terrible, terrible Evolve Shaman or Elemental Shaman.
We need more Freeze pay-off cards like Moorabi to make this work. The weapon isn't nearly good enough, considering the face damage you most likely take using it, and things like Frozen Crusher and that new 3 mana 4/4 that freezes your board currently have no real reason to ever be used, because there is exactly a single card that benefits from freezing your own things, that being Moorabi. Not to mention that you will usually end up with a hand full of bad cards because your board was full of bad cards as well if you freeze things.
Something like a Totem that heals you whenever something becomes frozen or a minion that draws you a card when a frozen minion takes damage would be alright. Considering how they handled Huhuran in the expansions following it, I expect that we'll get Moorabi-like effects in the future.
It's a great card, but not a "core card", just a "bonus", sometimes you will duplicate a enemy Tirion, or your own Lich King or Giant and win with this (i did it some times). But all freeze cards are autonomous, good by themselves, so if you don't draw him, well it's still ok ;-)
It's far from good, but so is Freeze Shaman as a whole, so I suppose that is to be expected. Kind of works, sometimes, and its biggest advantage over other Shaman decks is definitely the fact that nobody expects anyone to ACTUALLY play Freeze Shaman.

I play him in this deck:

In case anyone is curious, this is my current build:
