Good card..It can synergize with some mage cards already and clear board.Also can give the holder tempo back while using his hero-power in his turn and block opponent's minions to attack.Strong 2-drop imo.
Kabal Courier from priest = heal and freeze?
Or Shadow madness, or potion of madness or Cabal Shadow Priest?
Arena Mages say thanks!
Arena everyone else says fuck you.
I think blizz is forgetting that shatter exists. I don't blame them though, everyone else did.
Looks like Pirate warrior get's obliterated
That's so stupid I shouldn't even dignify this with a response
so it's a 4 mana frostbolt that deals 1 damage? or a 4 mana frost nova that only freezes one target a turn?
i don't think so.
it's a hearthpwn news article, no one here has hit legend or played anywhere near it. doesn't ever surprise me.
well then, shatter just might be playable now, i say might with a huge grain of salt tho.
You definitely won't be as annoyed when you get Shatter from a Babbling Book.
Mage SO STRONK!
It is actually 4 mana as rarely you would play it on the open. It won't kill anything and will not trade with a 3/2
You can easily innervate a 1/3 out with mage. If they don't remove it immediately with a spell (which is unlikely) it will be a good tool, along with low cost removal spells, to keep your opponent's board locked down and stall the game until you can play more impactful control cards.
In the late game you can play it to lock down a big minion or weapon for a turn, and it then becomes something they have to deal with, saving some more damage. Sometimes that's all you'll need to stall for lethal. Throw in Coldwratih or maybe even a Shatter you pick up randomly and it can be a big swing for just a few mana.
I expect we'll see more cards that benefit from frozen minions, anyway.
Innervate?
there isn't much use for a 1/3 on the board early on. Yes it is good for stalling late game but early game you better off saving it for later and using spells to deal with incoming minions. As I said, 1/3 won't kill anything on its on.
mmm, what happens when other heroes play this card ?
The hero powers that can target stuff, priest will be able to freeze. Others don't, like druid isn't targeting with the hero power because your targeting with your hero/face. Hunters could if you had a steamweedle sniper to make your hero power targetable.
Imagine if Druid power actually targets itself- you'd get +1 attack, +1 armour and Freeze yourself. Yet another nerf to Piloted Shredder for Druids. It wouldn't, but it'd be funny to imagine.
Warlock hero power doesn't target anything.
Considering it's a mage card and only applies to targeted hero powers, the only other hero power to be affected would be the priest's heal. Incidentally it's also the class that's most likely to play this card outside of mage because of its multiple card copying effects.
