This has now happened 3 times since release where my opponent or myself play Nellie, the Great Thresher and it freezes the game. I've seen in the past the floating card freeze where it looks like the opponent is about to play a card but nothing ever happens and there's no rope even after 5 minutes of waiting. The work around to was to restart Hearthstone as quickly as possible. Now with Nellie it's seems to be the same kind of bug where the game doesn't look frozen but needs to be reset and it's difficult to tell because the card and character animations, emotes, and board interactions all still work.
I've not seen this with any other colossus or new card.
There are multiple reports of this on the Blizzard forums, it has happened to me several times. It looks as if its the opponents turn when really the game is continuing and skipping your turns as the time runs out. Hopefully will be fixed soon... annoying to lose to pirate warrior as it is, let alone to a bug.

It happens with Brann + Queen as well. Restarting is a fine workaround for now. You lose like 15 seconds of your turn, that's about it.
I just had it happen to me when my opponent played Amalgam. Wonder if discovery in general is broken.
