Guess I get to now side with the side I once went against, after multiple encounters with mages I realized how dumb frost nova is to the point where it is a 3 mana way to win a game, example:
This has happened multiple times with varied decks but it will be the situation is that mage is low on life has a giant or two but can’t deal lethal, I have a board full of minions that can kill next turn, then she casts frost nova, hits me with the giants and bam, I can’t attack and she can go ahead and kill me next turn if I don’t have any removal.
I’m just saying that frost nova should no doubt be hall of famed, especially after things like mind blast and vanish were, seeing as it again is a cheap option and a single card that can win you the game.

Or taunt, or rush. But I do agree getting your board frozen over and over again is not an interactive and fun way of playing the game in my opinion. With magic trick and cyclone mage has an abundant supply of freezes and while I don’t think frost nova should be singled out, the call-out isn’t surprising to me.

No. If the deck needs to be nerfed, Frost Nova is the very last card that should even be considered. Freeze is core to mage’s identity and is what sets its combo decks apart from those of any other class.
Board clears are less interactive and mor permanent which makes them far less interesting on every level. I support cards like Wailing Soul, but rotating Frost Nova is a non-starter.
They pretty much gutted the identity of most classes over the years , i dont see why mage should keep theirs intact either! Loosing frost nova but keeping other targeted freeze effect is perfectly fine .
