There is no "is it worth it?" argument here. First, for Ice Block, you are assuming that the Extra Turn is useful to you, which not the case. Play a very large sample size of games with that card and you will see that a high number of Extra turns you get are useless and you concede regardless, meaning they are not "worth it", they didn't accomplish anything.
There are a lot of issues with your "facts" but this one that says an extra turn (or more as sometimes happens) doesn't matter over a large sample size is, well, just not true. It is completely ridiculous conjecture. Please show your data or stop spewing nonsense.
The fact that Ice Block can be counterplayed by tech cards is technically true, but your belief that Ice Block is interactive is plain fallacy. Playing tech cards against an otherwise harsh meta to lower your overall win rate is poor strategy, so that's why in the real world Ice Block is one of the most uninteractive cards in the game. What percentage of Ice Blocks do you believe actually get removed? If you think it is more than 5% then I'd say you are nuts.
The fact that matters most is that Ice Block counters many different kinds of decks by preventing any competitive decklist from getting lethal. It is a pretty safe play to put it out early in the game and is hardly ever removed. Once in play, the Mage can decide to ignore threats and focus on face, put together a combo, or gain board control, because <astonished face> Ice Block works in multiple decks. None of your arguments matter a tenth as much as these facts.
FWIW I actually like Ice Block, I play with it, and I appreciate the style and uniqueness. But as I have learned from Stasis Howling Mine Black Vice Boomerang, people (read opponents) don't like games that contain uninteractive elements.
Well, again, Ice Block is the most interactive Secret
I think this pretty much sums up why you are in the minority opinion, and that the majority believe Ice Block to be so uninteractive (Remember Stasis from MTG?) that it needs to go away from Standard. I for one, welcome our new ice-free overlords.
Clearly that group dynamic had issues that go beyond a custom card. It is probably just healthier to go your separate ways. I like the card, hold the drama and mayo.
I don't normally play casual but pulled a shaman quest, so I figured let's get it done. I've never seen so much BM from opponents, and shaman isn't even a good class. Nothing but roping or spamming emotes. Clearly that little pond is hiding some bottom feeders. I guess casual means animosity in Hearthstone speak.
Just completed a quest, no notification, nothing shown on quest screen. Maybe it works, maybe it is broke. Who knows? A little info goes a long way, Bliz.
It is not only that the were too slow, it is that they just finally admitted that they screwed up not nerfing it after doubling down for an entire year. I hope they will learn the lesson this time.

I'm going to read it literally and make sure there is at least one card from every expansion. More fun that way.
9 wins total. Seems legit

Check out the crafting guide, it has wild as well as standard options I believe:

I tried arena and several brawls. I would say it is more a Mild Meh than it is a WIld Fest. I hope they spice it up next week.

I think Hunter mains everywhere should be offended by this statement.
