I defended Flurry, since that had a hard cap of 3 minions and wasn't targeted. Cone of Cold also was capped at 3, and an opponent could play around it somewhat by positioning well.
This dude, however, yeah, I don't like that he exists. Trivial freezes that are completely reliable without any counterplay can be pretty unfun. I wish he did something else.
You bring up some good points, but since he (presumably) wouldn't be as broken in the Wild meta, perhaps we can settle for an early Hall of Fame immigration? (instead of outright nerf?)
.
It's not buff vs nerf. I just wish they went a different direction with it. Freeze is frustrating and fairly powerful, but in some ways, it's also boring. This is a utility card. Might see a lot of play. But then it's just a lot of dust for a stall.
I think some other sort of mage minion that did something really different would have been more fun.
But that's just like my opinion, man.
*e* a concept from elsewhere in the thread--instead of a battlecry to ice-lance everything, he could have been Ice Lance Ragnaros the Firelord. Sling one out at the end of every turn, and then your opponent can go wide to try to stop it, or the mage can use removal and trading minions to ensure the freeze/damage lands on the target you want it to hit most. That'd probably have been more fun for everyone involved.
It's not trivial if you can only include one in your deck.
(And more important it's a minion, so you won't be discovering 2 extra copies a game like certain spells)
a better Frost Nova
It only saw play last year when Demon Hunter was broken and only because it could freeze face, card is still in standart, noone plays it, even with all the rogues around because it is too slow.
Wow! This is really strong! Especially in wild.
Here's to hoping Reno Mage becomes meta-relevant again! (though on the other hand, I fear the return of Exodia Mages)
As a main freeze mage/exodia, I'm excited to see this, but the power level of this archetype is so low right now due to every other deck hard countering you (anti secret cause of secret mage punish you hard, secret mage is unbeatable, DH is too fast and all reno decks play dirty rat) that I don't think this will be enough to make it tier 1 again. Let's see the meta shift tho !
I cannot allow such *impudence* when talking about freeze shaman
h8 elves
h8 freeze
Yep, definitely this should be a Shaman card along with the new Flurry spell!
The Freeze Shaman archetype could be something new for a change.. but NO, they decide to insist with the old and boring Freeze Mage archetype AGAIN... only after removing the basic Frostbolt, Frost Nova and Blizzard
Why are there such inept people developing this game?
Welcome to the Maiev Shadowsong of the expac, where people think it will be an autorun but dies within a week
XD'ing in advance
Remember when we were happy that Frost Nova and Blizzard were rotating out.
...lol
Fun and interactive in LPG Mage with Barista Lynchen and Zola the Gorgon, if the opponent has no big taunts. Can also stall a turn for Reno Jackson, if there is no charge minion or weapon equipped in the next turn.
brann too
This.. is.. a legendary? LOL
i mean this would be broken as an epic. Broken has hell.
Good thing too, because this would be actual cancer if it was a two of.
