I don't know it sounds like a way of restoring the old delay style mage that just wants to Alexstraza and then burn you down. Though it probably still wouldn't work well against the current meta.
It would be devastating to Warriors/Rogues. Could slow down aggro. Used in conjunction with an actual Ice Lance and you got some legit damage.
The only thing that this would lose effectiveness against is mid-range decks because you can't keep freezing one 4/5 while they throw out 2 more on the next turn.
It's an interesting thought. I've seen another forum post suggesting cards to swap hero abilities for every class. The thing is, shadowform is unique and it comes from world of warcraft, and as far as I know there aren't any alternatives for the other classes. Blizzard probably won't implement any other hero ability swapping cards. I do like the idea myself, but I probably wouldn't ever run a card like that because just freezing a card for 2 mana is pretty ineffective. Although the combo potential with doomsayer would be quite interesting.

To make up for the freeze nerfs...what about these
Imagine a minion, like Auchenai Soulpriest, that changes Jaina's hero power to a 2-mana freezing bolt. Not an Ice Lance. Just a spot freeze.
What about a card, like Shadowform, that permanently changes your hero power into a 2-mana freezing bolt?
