A lot of people are wondering if this weapon is playable if Blizzard releases more Freezing effect for Shaman. Mage has the best freezing effect of the game, the question is, would you play this card as mage ? They never even bothered to play Shattered, who has the same effect.
And with the fact that Shaman probably has the best removals of the game (Devolve, Hex, Maelstrom Portal, Lightning storm, Volcano) Which one of these will you cut out to put a Freezing card + this weapon ?
Envenom Weapon is a strictly better version of this card and sees absolutly no play in constructed.
I think this could work in some kind of Control-ish Elemental Shaman running Glacial Shard and Frost Elemental. It may not look great right now, but I'm 90% sure this will get some kind of synergy with upcoming cards.
I think this card will be useful in a new Shaman archetype, based on Freeze. Actually in Standard, the cards available for Shaman with that effect are:
Frost Shock (Shaman, Basic).
Glacial Shard (Neutral, Un'goro).
Frost Elemental (Neutral, Un'goro).
¿Will the DK Thrall's Hero Power have synergy with this revealed card? ¿Will the new Shaman cards have Freeze efects? I don't know. We just have to wait.

The difference between envenom weapon and this is that Shaman has access to a lot of healing. taking face damage is not a big deal when you can heal.
If they give healing to Rogue you'd bet envenom weapon would be a staple include.
I think this card will be playable at Elemental Shaman tho it takes hit to the face removing big minions will be hard but removing cards like Tar Creeper would be better.
Can't say anything about it until all Shaman and Neutral freeze cards are shown. Currently Shaman has Frost Shock as the only class Freeze. Shamans can run Glacial Shard and Frost Elemental in Control Ele Shaman. Seems good, if decent Shaman elemental freezers are released and they might run at least 1 copy of this.
Rating: ?/5.
But I can safely say that this card is very bad in Arena except the case when you get extremely lucky and pick 4-5 freezes.
Lucky its not a mage weapon lolz. Now Shaman have Hex and this one as hard removal. Volcano both aoe and removal. Devole as a psedo removal. Control Warrior cry in shame now lolz
Control Warrior? What's that? I've never seen them. I only see Pirate Warrior(Aggro archetype) and Taunt Warrior(Midrange Archetype).
Tho real problem is when you freeze a minion you don't really require to destroy it for one turn unless it is not a taunt minion if you give shaman bunch of cards with freeze mechanic this card still will not see that much play.

So you're saying you'd let his 7 attack minion get through with damage the next turn without dealing with it completely?
This weapon is very good. Gives a good tempo to elemental deck and posibly make it viable. It has nothing in common with poissonous rogue effect mentioned here. a) no heal in rogue class b) lot of strong haed removal tools for rogues c) lack of strong tempo archetipe deck for rogues.

You don't have to use expensive elementals, Glacial Shard plus this is ok for big minion removals if you're out of Hex. Nice for control Shammy.

I already put in Glacial shard and Frost elemental in my Shaman Ele decks.

Ya your probably right. Just late here, knee jerked my statement.
so far you would use it based on these cards
maybe if your opponent played this
♥ ¡hola mundo! ♥ hello world! ♥ привет мир! ♥ こにちわ せかい! ♥
Can't say for sure how to feel about this card just yet. Need to see more Freeze mechanics from this expansion

Even if there are amazing new freeze effects it seems drastically worse than envenom weapon. Shaman has healing though. So maybe.
