Yes let's give ice block to a class with a plethora of combo potential...
I'm pretty damn sure next set rotation Ice block is going to Hall of Fame..so why the fuck do they print a card like it? I know it's a classic card but this rouge secret might as well be classic because it's gonna be around for probably another 2 years...so technically Ice Block will exist in standard for alot longer now. Kinda stupid move if you ask me.
Having an acceptable minion out on your turn after you cleared a board is actually a big deal. Why do you think Ravaging Ghoul us in every control warrior deck?
And having a more powerful board clear in priest is an even bigger deal than Warlock. The class has it good with Defile so STFU about Warlock.
Warlock in general is looking pretty sweet this expansion. Stonehill Defender is gonna be getting 3 of the new Warlock taunts and they are all pretty powerful. The minions could even fit in Zoo I would think.
You can play this in dragon priest along with that other broken dragon and Velen+ mind blast or alex and giants. Mage matchup sucks alot but you can probably just steal their Ice blocks with continuous Operatives. As a priest you literally have all the tools you need to survive, two turns isn't alot. Obviously you don't play this in the aggro matchup... it's just one dead card right? Any other matchup is pretty much fair game with this card unless like I said you get lucky and steal Ice Block against Quest Mage.
But rather than just wondering about having this on my deck, I wonder the impacts of getting this from Medivh for example.
Imagine Big Priest plays Free From Amber with Atiesh and it brings this up. At the end of the turn it could cast the Spell that brings a 5/5 copy of even something else from your deck, or cast Mind Control which will guarantee you'll steal an enemy minion.
Maybe have this in hunter and run only call of the wild too? Idk, it's very RNG heavy and meme-y but I wouldn't say it has NO potential.
As someone who has played Control Warrior religiously this will never see the light if day in those decks because they are more value and fatigue orientated. This card is more of a finisher card but control prefers Gromm.
I would put this in a more mid-range or tempo style of warrior, interesting because this and if Warrior gets a good cheap weapon Pirates or at least another iteration of the deck could see a resurgence with this card.
I expected to see Hunter get a recruit card for beasts but I didn't expect it to be this powerful. I love all of the designs for this card. Weak in a low curve Mid-range or aggro but definitely pushes the Nzoth decks over the top while also putting in some potentially sick tempo plays with King Krush, Devilsaur, and some form of protection with Dred..and obviously pulling highmane is neat too...sick stitched tracker value too. Who knows what other beasts Hunter might get to help support this. I like where Blizz is going with this alot. :-)

Medicore? At worst it's Holy Nova. At best it's a 10 damage aoe for 5 Mana.
In what world is this card mediocre?

Well if this card doesn't single handedly create another Mage OTK deck I'd be surprised

No more unlucky rolls from Evolve like Doomsayer and bomb squad? I guess it's worth running this for that reason alone

Yeah, unless you reeeally need the dust don't dust it for now so that your chances of getting a good legendary from an Un'goro pack are better.
