Bring it on! I love making snow creatures!

In all seriousness I really like the spells that leave a body behind on the board. I hope they make a bunch more.

This might make Clumsy Courier and Grey Sage Parrot good.

I already find the parrot to be a good card so anything that makes it better is fine with me!

Kadgar would have loved this card when he was standard

Do you wanna build a Pyyyrooooooooossss

Really though, this is a better version of Pyros. Not sure it’ll see a ton of play outside of Big Spell Mage, but it can fill some curve spots nicely. The lack of immediate impact makes me doubt it a bit, but summoning a 9/9 that Freezes for 4 mana (Ink Set) isn’t a bad play.

3 Frost spells that don’t require a target in one card.

Even so, Questline Mage probably doesn’t want to cast the 6 or 9 mana versions.

Seems really slow to me.
And it doesn’t really seem to fit that well in QMage, (which is good) so are We gonna have to craft an entirely new deck?
Cause in that case We need way more tools than this.

Dang it you so beat me to it, now I have that stuck in my head

The quest is the only mage card in my (mage) collection that I dusted bc I hate it that much. So if this card doesn’t see play in that deck I’m perfectly ok with that. I’d honestly rather see more cards that won’t fit in that deck so we can move on to play something different.

For me it’s an auto include in my parrot deck.

I’m really hoping that the Qdeck gets no support at all. Everyone hates it, even me.

This card sucks no way in hell its ever making the cut in my Big Spell Mage list.
I would like it more if it was a minion like Pryros.

I dont know … these stat sticks arent that good. It can be ignored, removed etc.

Why there isnt version for some of these stat sticks that gives them taunt or rush or whatever (even when it means these would get less stats as trade off)

This could fit with some of the other Frost stuff that came out during Barrens and especially Wailing Caverns.

You’d have Dungeoneer and maybe Deepwater Evoker for draw. A bunch of summoned Elementals of various sizes to Freeze stuff.

Still probably needs something to do on turns 1 and 2, … and maybe a bit more draw, … and probably some sort of finisher to help close out games. But it’s actually a good step forward on a Frost Mage deck in just a single card.

I just hope that the Varden Hero Card isn’t a Freeze Mage thing, but given their other representations (Legendary Minion and Merc) I have low hopes.

It’s a frost spell for a frost minion that goes in a minionless deck…like Quest mage. Now you really don’t care if your opponent plays minions or not.

I would have liked to see the final iteration have taunt.

My guess would be that if they had rush or something people would complain that it was overpowered.

You dont want Evoker to draw this card , thats my main issue with it , i wont run any spells bellow 5 mana with that draw mechanic.

Same with celestial ink set , hitting a 5 mana discount on a 3 mana card no thank you.

Yes, Evoker is definitely better in a pure big spell deck. And you’d probably want to run Flurry in a Frost deck which would make Evoker even more inconsistent for armor gain.

But a Frost deck with Dungeoneer is probably going to need to cut most if not all of the spell-based draw from the other schools to help ensure it gets the elementals from the Dungeoneer’s battlecry. So, Evoker would be useful from that standpoint. Less a “it would be a great card” than a “it’s maybe the best second option available.”

i mean at least that is some value freeze mage definitely needed. Still pretty slow though.
