Guys this cards says freeze an enemy for free, it can freeze also the hero and stop for a turn Fiery War Axe and Spirit Claws, in early game it can protect your little minions on the board and let you trade them to enemy minions or go face and keep for 1 more turn on board effects like spell damage, it's not so bad. It has synergy also with Shatter that could become played
It's not free. It costs 1 card in your deck. What card are you cutting in mage to play this?
It's obvious that Freezing Potion is just awful. Kabal Chemist is now such a crapshoot where the good results are REALLY good and the bad results are REALLY bad. There is no in-between.
People clear minions with a damage dealing card + execute, same with this and shatter, just a lot cheaper.
With the very important caveat that damage dealing is not otherwise useless.
Neither is freezing, just depends what type of deck you are playing. Obviously warriordecks have a lot of 1 damage dealing cards, just as mage has many freeze cards.
Is not good for putting into your deck and so is Dust It level for that, but I think it is actually quite good off of Kabal Chemist, Babbling Book and the like. The freezing Spare Part has always been very useful for how you can totally screw someone up for a turn in many situations and this can freeze face vs. weapon decks and is nice to turn on Flamewakers and such when it doesn't have to go in your deck.
Voting Dust It because the card itself should be dusted but I think it is underrated off of Discovers and Chemists etc
Always worth considering 0 or 1 mana spells as valuable in the right decks, but this is a pretty awkward effect for decks that abuse low cost spells. Certainly valuable alongside Flamewaker or Mana Wyrm to protect them from an opponent's minion, but there are certainly better spells out there for that. You probably wouldn't run this just for the new Cryomancer either, but a turn 5 7/7 is still a consideration.
It also synergise with Demented Frostcaller, may not see play in freeze mage but a frozen mage using Shatter might be another acrhetype IMO
I think people might be writing this off a bit too quickly. After all, we are talking a 0-cost Mage spell here. A 0-cost Mage spell could have the card text "Do nothing" and I'd still be wary of it considering all of the stuff that Mage has just to take advantage of spell synergy effectively. This spell isn't just "Freeze a character.". It's "Freeze a character and buff your Mana Wyrm and activate Flamewaker and get a Fireball from Archmage Antonidas and more.".
This is potentially a Freeze mage card POST ROTATION.
It doesn't really fit in the current freeze mage because there are no free slots, but what happens when Forgotten Torch (LOE) and Emperor Thaurissan(BRM) rotate out of the meta?
This card hits face (based on the text) and can combo with Ice Lance. Or it can Combo with Archmage Antonidas as your 3rd and 4th Fireball generator for ZERO mana
Shrug, my priest will like this one actually - to give me time to dig for SW:D or Entomb or MC after a huge threat is put on the table. That assumes it's worth putting in the potion generator though, not sure.
i don't know Miracle Mage withGadgetzan Auctioneer, Freezing Potion and Forbidden Flame?
This is not worth a card in any deck ever. And mage will be a weaker arena class post-MSG, which is very welcome.
I'd rather get this as a spare part.....
People clear minions with a damage dealing card + execute, same with this and shatter, just a lot cheaper.
Shatter synergy! Yay!

Interesting...
Don't like what this does to Kabal Chemist, otherwise very happy to see this for balance / niche use reasons.
